Meerkat Cabin, Isabel's Alcove, After lunch

[izzyalienqueen]

After lunch Isabel faced the fact that packing couldn't be put off any longer. Her bag was open on her bed as she sorted through her clothes.

[ooc: open to all. Slow like whoa throughout the afternoon because RL packing needs to be done.]

"Good. I know you'll do a good job." She smiled, "I'll bring you back a tacky souvenier. How about that?"

He laughs and says, "I think I'd like that. No one's gotten me a souvenir from America before. You'll be safe?"

"You say that now. Wait till you see what odd piece of plastic I bring back," Isabel chuckled. "I should be. And if things get hairy, I've got various people on speed dial so they can mount a rescue mission."

"Good," he says, nodding. "I don't have a phone but I have a broom, if needed."

Isabel burst out laughing and reached out to hug Cedric. "I'm not laughing at you. I'm just picturing how my brother and my friends would react if you swooped down out of the sky in front of the Crashdown. Thank you, I needed that laugh."

He returns her hug and joins in the laughter. "I'd do it, too. And offer them a ride if it would help break the tension."

"I know you would," she said, still laughing. "It might even work to. Or while they're thinking it over, we can use the time to get away."

"If you should need to get away, I'll be there as quickly as I can," he says and nods firmly. "Except I don't know where Roswell is so it wouldn't be as quickly as I'd like. But quick enough!"

"It's in New Mexico, out in the Southwest," Isabel explained. "It's very different from here. Lots of desert."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Desert? Lots of sand, I'm guessing?" He smiles and says, "It does sound very different from here."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Lots of sand, very dry, and very hot," she said. "Also very brown. I like to go out at night though. The sky is beautiful. It's like it goes on forever.""

"Wear your sunscreen," he mock orders. "No sunburns."

"I promise," Isabel said. "No scorching for me. And you make sure you use it if you make it back to the beach."

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I promise," he says. "Be safe and have a safe trip."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'll try," she promised. "I'll see you next week. Thanks for coming by."

"Of course. Have as much fun as you can." He grins and heads out of the cabin.
