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

[bigdamnprincipal]

The lawn was arranged with tables and chairs - some near the food, some not - and there was plenty of food to go around. The school had even wised up and put to-go boxes by the plates, so people didn't have to put food in their pockets to take it with them for later. No one was gonna judge you for making some pocket bacon, but at least now it wasn't a necessity.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"What sort of things did they ask you about?" Sidon would hate to pry, of course, but it was impossible for him not to wonder how the other Zora had taken to Vette. Of course, he couldn't imagine they'd be anything but amazed by her, as he was. "They must have been incredibly curious!"

"Oh yeah," Vette agreed breezily. "Plenty of questions, like if I knew anything about the Prince's new girlfriend, or had any idea what it was about her that he thought was so special."

She didn't even have the first clue how to dance around that one. So... she didn't.

Sidon's eyes widened for a moment; he blinked, shook his head slightly, and almost asked Vette to repeat herself, because, surely, he must have heard her incorrectly, she couldn't have said...

"How could they have even possibly have known?" Sidon asked, frowning, shaking his head slightly again. "I hadn't imparted any information about our relationship to anyone besides my father. I know how my people can be; you wouldn't have had even a moment to yourself the whole time we were there! Why, I practically had to make a royal decree to keep them from making some sort of monument to honor Breq!"

And he...really didn't want to have to make a royal decree of Please Leave My Girlfriend Alone. And the idea that he might have to bothered him a bit, too.

He sighed, a rough sort of sigh, as if trying to expel the little burst of protective anger that had welled up in him, and he found a faint smile again. "At least that would have been a short conversation, though," he said, "as the answers to those questions would have surely revealed themselves in mere moment."

Because Sidon, of course, felt that Vette just radiated specialness just by existing, and couldn't imagine anyone being unable to see that.

Vette kind of looked up at him at that, feeling faintly at a loss. How was she supposed to tell him otherwise? That they'd stood there for a good ten, fifteen minutes, just trying to figure out if there was something special about her between them.

That she suspected their speculation had gone on for some time afterwards.

That the immediate assumption was because Sidon clearly preferred blue.

So she blew out a breath, slapped on a crooked little smile, and said, "Hey. You. Sit your butt down on the ground for a moment, would you?"

Because she was down here and he was up there, and for the time being, that just wouldn't do.

That was a request that would absolutely not need to be repeated, and, gaining a better grip on his own smile, Sidon dutifully sat his butt on the ground, then regarded Vette with the hopeful anticipation that would likely always be tied to a suggestion like that.

See? That was far better. She didn't have to crane her head to see him, he didn't have to strain his neck to look at her, and it made stepping forward to wrap her arms around him and give him a kiss that much simpler.
