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

[bigdamnprincipal]

Whoever worked the weather magic around here had done an excellent job to make sure things were nice outside for all the new (and old) residents of Fandom. It was warm and sunny, but not so humid that people would melt. There was plenty of moddable food and drinks, places to sit in the shade, and more than enough nametags to go around. It was time to celebrate the start of the summer!

"I haven't ever really tried camping," Stark said. "Gladio has a class on it this summer, doesn't he? But we'll be in a hotel. A nice one. I like that, staying nice places."

"Takes getting used to," Steven said. "Marc's done it, of course. But in his case he had no choice in the matter. Doing it for fun's a different animal? So to speak? But it can be fun. You see parts of nature you wouldn't get to otherwise. Literally, you have to hike to them. No man made things around."

Then, just to be clear, "I do enjoy a nice hotel though. Always fun when the room's its own getaway, I think."

"I like seeing new things but... staying somewhere fancy still feels new. And special. But I don't mind a hike. Sometimes I think I ought to spend more time outside."

"Nothing wrong with fancy if you can manage it, you ask me," Steven said. "You're spending time in the room as well, aren't you? No shame in a nice view and a big tub. If those are things you like, of course. That's what Llewellyn and I tend to look for. And places where there's enough for us to eat on the menus."

"We had a very nice view and a very nice tub and a very nice pool, at Christmas, " Stark said. "That was a good trip. Very short but good. Food...i can always find something to eat. But i don't have restrictions on what i eat the way you do. "

"Llew does a brilliant job of finding things for us," Steven said. "He's a real talent for planning. Don't think our trips would be half as good without him. And you're taken care of? No difficulties with the mask?"

"I always worry," Stark admitted. "Less when I have someone with me though. Usually the worst that happens is strange looks and whispers."

"People can be thoughtless at times," Steven said. "It's unfortunate but true. Hopefully at least Summer doesn't stand for it?"

"I think if there were any real problems she might shoot someone," Stark said fondly. "Or at least threaten to."

"Well it's good to have someone as your - partner?" Steven was guessing at the word they might prefer using "Who believes that you should be taken care of and treated properly. You certainly don't deserve to be treated as some kind of afterthought or second class citizen. Not ever."

Steven knew there wasn't anything he could do to change Stark's past, but he hoped he could at least help Stark see that horrible treatment before meant he had to tolerate horrible treatment now, be it from random rude strangers or otherwise.
