Camping 101; Friday, 3rd Period [05/31].

[sword_chocobro]

At the meeting spot outside the preserve, the class would find Gladio there waiting, with packs already prepared, and with Ignis there standing beside him, and as everyone gathered, he greeted them with a grin.

"Hey, guys," he said, and then hitched a thumb toward his companion, "I know you all know Iggy here at least a little, if not more, so you've probably figured out just by him being here what today's lesson is going to be focusing on: camp food. So I hope you're hungry, but, if not, maybe the hike to the campsite'll get that appetite going. When we get there, Igs is going to show you a few cool cooking techniques for camping and hopefully you'll have a few of your own you can share, too. But let's save that for when we get there. Grab a pack and let's get moving."

Well, Gadio figured he could get away with sneaking it by Ignis pretty easily, which just left Nell, so when he glanced her way and saw that amused, anticipatory look on her face...that pretty much decided it and he took a moment, dipping his skewer into the Cup Noodle^TM, very carefully maneuvering it around until a good deal of the noodles had twisted themselves up in the meat and veggies, lifted the whole mess out of the cup, then threw a wink Nell's way before going and taking a big old bite out of all of it.

And then letting out a very undignified grunt that would probably blow his cover with sneaking that by Ignis after all, but, damn, that was a good idea, and he had to make the sounds to let the world know his approval, apparently.

Nell just laughed. "Taste good?" she asked - already knowing the answer. Hey, Gladio, Cup Noodle and meat on a skewer. What more could he ask for?

Except for Ignis to somehow miss the whole thing, obviously.

"I'm so mad," Gladio said, shaking his head and looking between his two hands with a marveling wonder, before dipping his skewer in again to start prepping it for the next bite, "that I never thought of this before."

But, instead of taking the next bite for himself, he was holding it out toward Nell. "Wanna try?"

Nell smiled at him and leaned in to take a bite. "Mmm..." she said as she chewed, and nodded her head at him. "Good," she said when she'd swallowed. "They go really well together!"

She was already thinking about how she could refine it for a meal at home.

"Just like us, right?" asked Gladio, with an utterly shameless grin, because she pretty much set that one up all nice for him, it'd just have been rude if he didn't take it.

"Good class today?" he asked. "Probably nothing too revolutionary or groundbreaking for you this time, though."

"Exactly," Nell said, with a soft smile. "Who would have thought?"

Not her. And probably not any one who has ever met them separately. On paper they certainly didn't seem as if they would ever work. The confident shirtless Goliath and the reticent tiny woman who wore long skirts and tops that covered most of her arms and neck.

She was less careful about being covered now and certainly more confident and happy. Which she felt are owed so very much of to Gladio.

"I love this class," she said. "Probably would even if you weren't teaching it, though that's a bonus. But it's just wonderful even if I do know a great deal of it."
