Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

[bigdamnprincipal]

And over here was another section of tables and chairs, still close to the food so no one accidentally starved while trying to avoid the masses.

"I'm Ned," he said, giving her a small smile. "Not overwhelming or anything? It was pretty overwhelming for me."

Lola shrugged. "It is strange, but. I expected strange. New country. I . . . did not expect time travel and aliens strange, but they seem nice."

"You know," Ned said, laughing at the response, "I'm from this country and I still didn't expect the time travel and the aliens. So, it's not just you. What country are you from?"

"Germany. This is strange for America, too? I had thought maybe Hollywood was more correct than they told us."

"No, this place is strange," he said, nodding. "It...you get used to it but it takes some adjusting. And an open mind. And don't run away, if you can help it."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

But running's what Lolas do best!

"It is not dangerous, ja? Just different?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Just different," he assured her. "I mean, I'm a big wimp and I haven't run away. Just been tempted a few times. It passes though."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

"Doch!" Lola said. "You are not a wimp. If you were a wimp, you would not be here to meet people."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"It's a new thing for me," he admitted sheepishly. "The meeting people. I had to give myself a pep talk beforehand. Just be glad I can't climb trees or...I might have."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

Lola laughed, deciding this guy was pretty cute. "Then I am glad you pep-talked, first. Or I would not meet you."

"Right!" Ned grinned in realization of that. He was a slow one, sometimes. "It's the crowd thing that can get to me. Not used to it. But, you seem to be doing okay with it."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

"Berlin is a big city. I am used to crowds. Though talking to them, that is a little different."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

"I agree," he said with a nod. "Though, Coeur d'Coeurs isn't very big at all. I've never been out of the country before. Barely even been out of my home state. First time for that here too."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

"Coeur d'Coeurs. Heart of hearts, ja? That is an American city?" He didn't seem French.

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he said, mildly surprised even though he knew he shouldn't have been. "You're the first to know the meaning without me translating. It's..."

He pointed up but then realized how that looked. "Uh, north of here. It's not in the sky or anything."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

"I know a little French," Lola said. "Not as well as I know English, but we learn two foreign languages in my school in Germany." She looked up for a moment, smiling. "And that's good. It would be hard for you to go home, since you don't even climb trees."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"It's on my list of things to learn," he said even though it wasn't. "I do other things though. Just not climbing. So you don't think I sit in my room and wait for something to scare me."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

"That is good. What do you do, then? When you are not standing by trees."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Cook, mostly," he said. "Uh, sometimes I read but it's mostly cooking. One thing I'm pretty good at."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

"You are a chef! That is a good hobby."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Not an official chef but yeah, I maybe wanna be," he said, smiling at her reaction. "I'm better at desserts than anything else."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

"Deserts are the best foods. What is your favorite?"

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Pies," he said happily. "Just about any kind. Big, little, sweet, not so sweet. Pies. Yeah."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[unddann]

Lola couldn't help but grin at his enthusiasm. "I would like to try one of your pies, some time."

Re: More General Mingling (Fall 2008)

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"I'll make you one," Ned said, always happy to talk shop. And spread the pies around. "I'm supposed to be making an insane amount for someone for a party too so you might get one there. Not a cook?"
