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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Once people got through their introductions and initial brain breaking, some of them would surely want to sit down. Luckily, there were plenty of tables and chairs set up across the lawn, some in the shade, some out in the open, some close to the buffet, and some in as much of a shadowy corner as one could get in an outdoor space with no actual walls. It was all part of the Fandom experience, really.

[OCD is up! This is the FIRST post for general mingling. Please use this post first, if your browser can handle the comment load. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here and there's more room for mingling here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

...A favor.

"I suppose you might as well tell me now," he said wearily, since at least it gave him a reason to skirt around the question of what had happened in Panem.

"Dude, not like that. I know you're all straight and shit." Kenzi elbowed him very gently. "It's just... things were freaky, with the meteor rock and people going crazy and I'd really really like to know how to shoot evil things that want to eat me. Okay?" She paused. "And you said you were good at that." Look, have a compliment! Seriously. She was worried about Wes. He looked like he needed a pillow and a week to himself.

He really, really did. Too bad he wasn't planning to let himself have one such week to himself anytime soon.

"Yes, I'm sure that will be fine," he said, though he didn't look away from Katniss once the whole time he was speaking. What? He was worried about her! "I'll have to get back to you regarding what date will be amenable."

Because right now it was looking like the very, very, very distant future. Sorry, Kenzi.

Kenzi peered around him, following his line of sight. "Friend? Girlfriend? Stalker object?" He was being way obvious if it wasn't one of those.

She'd be willing to track him down and drag him places, if it took him too long.... then again, she could try to teach herself! How hard could it be?

Wes stood by the opinion that it was fairly easy to learn the basics. But if you wanted to shoot two guns simultaneously while flying through the air... well...

"Girlfriend," he said finally, though the childish term felt odd in his mouth for some reason. Then, because it was Kenzi, he had to add, "Please don't go and bother her."

Kenzi studied him, caught between the immediate urge to go do just that, and the wondering if that maaaaybe that was a bad idea, given how rough Wes looked. "She had a bad time too, last couple weeks?"

Maturity! From Kenzi! It was a miracle. The miracle of the Welcome Picnic!

"I would say so," he replied softly, glancing over at her. "She recently suffered a loss."

More accurately, she'd suffered a ton of them.

It was the Cheetos! They made her heart grow three sizes!... or maybe she paid more attention to people she liked.

"Gotcha. That blows. Tell her I'm sorry." And no, Kenzi wouldn't be going over there to tease Wes's Girl about being Wes's Girl. Not yet, anyway. Plenty of time, now that she knew who it was. She patted Wes's shoulder as she got up. And didn't even swipe his wallet. "Get some sleep. You look like shit."

"Unlikely," he said dryly. "But thank you for the thought."

And for... being civilized. He hadn't expected that from her, but there was real gratitude in his expression.
