Flirting with Disaster
"You ready to go yet?" Shanku asked at length.
"Sure," Dawson said flatly.
The two left the ship. Shanku lead him a ways down the beach and into the jungle.
"Where are we going again?" Dawson asked uneasily as various night creatures called and scurried around them.
"It's a surprise," Shanku said.
"What are you up to?" Dawson asked suspiciously.
"Nothing," Shanku said coyly and grinned at him. "Just extending an invitation."
"About what?" Dawson asked.
"Midsummer"! Shanku said excitedly and gestured up ahead to a gathering of huts and many lights dancing on the other side.
"Do you just try to get into trouble?" Dawson exclaimed as he recognized it as the kurach village that Scarlet was from.
"Nope, comes naturally!" Shanku laughed and marched to the village.
"How has Captain not killed you yet?" Dawson groaned and slapped a hand to his forehead. Shanku gave him a weak smile with drooped ears.

Flirting with Disaster
The Faun Guardian wondered a similar thing once.
A Brood Barrel and a Crabby Crate. Perhaps they've worn off on each other.
Finals are this week and then it's a two week break. My first FULL two week break in a year. Woohoo! And even better, another college I'm considering has replied back, so I can start talking to them more officially now. Maybe I'll get lucky!
Other happy news, sorta, had two really nice dreams last night. First one was of my husband driving me and our son on a trike. The other was us teaching our daughter about different bugs and leaves she found outside. It will still be a few more weeks before we can find out what kid we're having, but they were still nice dreams. Although I still can't shake a suspicion of twins... Probably not twins, but I'm still wondering. Maybe I just have a secret desire for twins that I don't know about??
