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

The weather was warm, the food smelled good, and there was a good chance the new folks were a little extra glittery. What else could go into a perfect day for the picnic?

[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!]

With the cheer in his greeting, Octavia was half expecting to see Magnus when she turned, even though the voice was wrong for that.

Also, yes, maybe it was a little sad that she was associating cheer with all of one person in her life.

She gave him a quick nod in greeting as she pocketed whatever kind of pastry she'd just wrapped in a napkin. "Hey, Liam."

Hey now, Liam could be cheerful! It was a nice day, the island was definitely back to more-or-less normal, the Troopers had finally stopped walking on eggshells around him...

Sure, there had been that whole panic attack and breakdown thing but he was totally taking steps to dealing with that, so.

"You know," he commented, watching her pocket that pastry. "You really should bring some plastic containers with you. Stuff holds up better that way."

Octavia shrugged a little bit. "We have those at home," she said. "But we don't need the free food badly enough to do that."

Or she'd learned to manage her food-hoarding a little.

"Yeah? Try living with a colony of food-obsessed talking mice," Liam said with a snicker. "I'm not dealing with the amount of disappointed looks I'd get if I dared to come back from one of these things empty-handed."

Honestly, he was surprised none of them had insisted on attending the picnic with him given how clingy they'd been the past couple weeks.

"I just have Bellamy," Octavia noted, mildly, although it may have been something of a joke. She shrugged again, regardless. "I don't think his disappointed looks have as much power."

That was definitely a joke.

(Although a little darker than it looked on the surface, maybe.)

“Probably not, no,” Liam said. “The mice have basically turned it into an art form.”

Octavia allowed that one a soft snort.

She glanced down at the assortment of food on the table in front of them, then back up at him. "So how've you been?"

Liam... thought about lying. But then decided there wasn't much point. The scratches he'd gouged into his neck were mostly healed, but still there, if you looked. Not to mention he was trying to make an effort to stop accepting these sorts of things as normal, something he just deserved as part of his existence. A shrug.

"Better than I was," he offered. The aftermath of that week as a toy had been- 'difficult' wasn't quite enough to encapsulate it.

Octavia was the type to take note of visible injuries. So yeah, she'd noticed - but also that they were healing okay.

"Good," she said, nodding. "It sounds like it was a rough time."

He nodded.

"I'm glad you missed out on it."

Octavia shrugged. "Raccoons don't care about disasters, I guess," she said. "Not that Bel would've let me out, anyway."

Well. Some raccoons didn't. The ones that lived by the boardwalk and ran a brewery? They probably did, at least if it impacted their business.

"Bet you made an adorable toy raccoon though," Liam said, with the slightest hint of a smile.

Did he want a mildly withering look? Because he was getting a mildly withering look. "That's not a word I would use."

About herself.

But also, ever.

At least it was only a mildly withering look!

"Okay, okay, I'm sure you were not in the least adorable," he conceded, taking a half-step back.

"That's better," Octavia told him, grumpily.

If he missed the little twitch of her lips, that was.
