[bigdamnprincipal]

Yes, there were more tables and chairs here. No, they were not allowed to be used for making a bonfire. Eat something hot if you're still weirdly cold.

"Maybe next time I'll try that," Katchoo said diffidently. "Guess it was a long trip and I got antsy."

"Where were you coming from?" he asked, more sympathetically. "I know not being able to smoke on the plane from California was hard for me."

"Hawaii," Katchoo said, and even the one word sounded like it had been pried out of her mouth with a crowbar. "Customs was a pain in the ass, and now it's cold here."

"I know," Romeo whined back at her. "It is July, and we are in Antarctica. Even though the day is warm for Antarctica, it is not warm enough for July."

Wistfully, he added, "Hawaii is lovely."

"It really is," she agreed, the slight catch in her voice her first admission of vulnerability thus far today.

". . . Antarctica?"

"Aye, Antarctica," he agreed, gesturing to the ice floes in the water beyond the island. "Normally we are near Virginia, but the island has decided to move this summer. I know not why Antarctica, unless it simply hates me. But before his it was Bali Hai, and before that, France and Greece."

He was a wee bit melodramatic about the cold.

Katchoo had noticed that, yes, thus the curious askance look she gave him. "The island. Travels." She had a feeling her suspension of disbelief gauge had the needle at a big, blinking red E by this point.

"It has been this summer," he confirmed, wondering if she was deaf. "There were fairies at graduation, and since then..."

"Since then we're on a world tour," Katchoo concluded. She wondered if they could maybe swing by Switzerland and pick up her $850,000.

"Greece to France to the tropics to, well, here," he confirmed. "I'm told there are penguins on the mainland now."

Katchoo let out a fragile laugh, more of a snort than anything else. "Guess I'm giving up on that whole normal life thing. Or at least redefining."

Romeo felt sorry for her. "You thought you would find a normal life here?" he queried, with a snort of his own. "I'm sorry. At least it shall not be a dull one."

"I'm Romeo, by the way," he added as an afterthought.
