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

[bigdamnprincipal]

There were plenty of chairs and tables by the bonfire, and some further out on the lawn for anyone who might want to enjoy their food alone, or just gaze at the new folks and try to figure them out. All of these potential activities were valid!

[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!]

These days, Octavia's silences were really only comfortable with Duke and Lucifer, because Octavia was really only comfortable with Duke and Lucifer.

And even that was kind of shaky and fragile.

"We took a trip," she said. "To Florida." Originally, anyway. "Got back yesterday."

"Hah," Liam said, with an amused chuckle. "Lowryland's in Florida. Guess we all decided to head somewhere a little warmer for a bit."

"I guess," Octavia replied, mildly.

Then fell silent again.

Well, he’d thought it a bit of interesting coincidence, anyway.

“It’s good to see you,” he offered. “I’ve missed you.”

Octavia had never been good at small talk. Or even just plain conversation, sometimes. He would just have to accept her baby steps.

Even now, she knew the proper response would have been to say she'd missed him too, but she wasn't sure that was true. She'd buried all but the most persistent parts of Fandom deep in the bunker, and she still hadn't dug everything back up.

And right now, this felt a little like June all over again.

"Good to see you, too," she settled on, faintly softer though still mild. "You seem well."
