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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Whatever aspect of the island made sure the weather was nice on picnic day didn't seem to be able to control the temperature. It wasn't freezing, but it would definitely more comfortable out on the lawn with a coat on. Thankfully, the conditions were just right for a bonfire in the center of the lawn, so people could gather and stay warm once they'd made their introductions.

Once the tables and chairs were set up and everything was properly glittered, all that was needed were people!

[OCD is up! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Hm?" Liam said, jerking his hand away from his leg and curling it into a fist. "Fine."

Well. Not really. But that wasn't the sort of thing he wanted to get into in public.

"I suppose. I just don't want to give him the wrong impression."

"If you say so," she said, a touch doubtfully, but willing to let it go since... public space and all.

"Then laser tag and, like, paintball," she said, nodding. "Followed by food?????????"

Nina hesitated a little, not sure what to say, before adding carefully, "Pick places that have, like, a choice of options from healthy to unhealthy, though???????"

He flashed her a grateful look for that, since he knew how persistent she could be when she really wanted to know something. Perhaps if she asked sometime when they weren't surrounded by dozens of other people, he'd go into more detail. But for now he was just going to take the out.

"Most places with actual good vegetarian options tend towards the 'healthy' end of the scale," he said. "But I think I could make that work." If they ended up at someplace where Liam's options were 'salad' or 'other salad', eh. He'd deal. Look, he had cannibalism-related PTSD triggers around certain foods, he understood issues even if he didn't know what Prompto's in particular might be.

"There's nothing wrong with healthy," she said quickly, then stopped, looking a bit frustrated.

"He'd hate that I said even this much about it," Nina admitted. "And, like, it's not life or death, so I'm not willing to say more, even to you, Dad."

She loved him and she loved Prompto but Prompto's food issues weren't for sharing by anyone but Prompto. Who, in all honesty, barely shared any of it with her.

"Like, if you say you're vegetarian and a place is really good, did he want to try it out???????? He'd be down for that, he's willing to try new things???????"

Just? Be... careful?

Liam frowned thoughtfully, remembering something Prompto had said during that visit to the Station.

The mice and I have that in common, he'd said, after Liam had mentioned that the mice loved food.

"Well, if we do go somewhere to eat, I promise I won't- make a big deal out of it. Or push him into anything," he told her. "Okay?"

Nina looked deeply relieved.

"Thank you," she said earnestly. "I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!"

"Well, I appreciate the heads up," he told her solemnly. "I wouldn't want to stick my foot in it and make a mess of the whole getting-to-know-you thing."
