Surely it wasn't the older girl who was so kind to his Mistress? She, who smelled somewhat like cat nip, surely was more intelligent that than. Yes?

His fur went on end when he felt someone sticking their NOSE against his newly brushed fur. It's that fat orange one...isn't it?! Turning his head slightly, he saw that it was another cat - which he wasn't sure made things any better. Oh? It wanted to play? He supposed that that would be far more entertaining that sitting here watching the humanfolk roast marshmallows. What do you have in mind, he purred swishing his tail back and forth.


Kurumi listened as Lexi explained the art of making a proper s'more. It seemed...simple enough she suppose. "I think I've got it," she said nodding her head as she reached for one of those granny...graham...one of those cracker things and snapped it in two to make the outer layer. "Then the chocolate..." she said repeating the steps in her head.

Finally, she stuck a marshmallow onto her skewer and stuck it directly into the fire. Well, that wasn't so bad.

"Lexi...where do s'mores come from?" she asked looking up at her mama lion and completely taking her attention off the marshmallow that was quickly going past the slightly browned phase.
Merlin was like an overgrown kitten... always wanting to play. He wiggled around a bit and mewed at the other kitty. My name's Merlin, what's yours? I belong to the pretty girl that smells like catnip. Isn't that odd? That she smells like that? Anyway.. wanna hide under the sofa and attack people's ankles when they walk by or sit down? Or have you got something better in mind? He too began to flick his tail back and forth and twitch his whiskers a bit. Hehe. FUNTIMES!

Lexi watched as Kurumi correctly put her s'more together and began to roast her marshmallow. Good girl took direction well. Hehe. Lexi actually followed suit and when her graham cracker and chocolate were prepared she skewered her mallow and stuck it directly in the flame.

FIRE. Gah how she loved it so. She bet she could make THIS fire bigger... wonder if Pat would say something about it though? Prefects. Pfffffft.

OH she actually knew this one!! All that research about America she had been doing was being useful already. Hehe. "Well historians think that perhaps the Girl Scouts of America may have been the first ones to make them... they camped out a lot or something... but, yeah. Americans like, invented the s'mores," she said proud that she knew something that Kurumi didn't. It was juvenile, she knew, but it felt nice sometimes...

It was a hive of activity! The prefect in him felt like telling everyone to head to bed in preparation for classes the next day, but the teenage part of him was fine with them all hanging out. In the end the Teen won!

Spotting Lexi, Kurumi and Simon making s'mores without him, Patroclus knew what he had to do! Running full out, the Lion sprang off the couch nearest to him and flew threw the air, coming to land on a soft pile of pillows just near them.

"S'MORES!"
Lexi was not very surprised to see Pat doing jumps and such in the common room. Try sleeping in the guest quarters of his family boat... Pat liked to come in and JUMP around while she overslept... everyday. Hehe.

Smiling broadly she pointed to the pile of s'more making goodies and said, "Well come on then. Have at it. And how are Pollux and Pandora? I need to send them something. A thank you. I picked it up in Thira and have been meaning to send it and have yet to do so. And I have something for you as well. For you lot being so gracious as to let us hijack a ride to Santorini." The Hudson's were fabulous people... and all VERY pretty too.

"I thought so. Besides... I am trying to make it a tradition I suppose... Let all of the kiddos know that we are not going to bite them or anything... they can come share our s'mores and talk to the upperclassmen."



Then turned her head she flicked her wrist, sending her wand into her hand and with a quick NONVERBAL (CHYEAH) Sonorus she called out to the common room as a whole, "Anyone who would like to come join us for s'mores, please come. Everyone is welcome. It is our start of term tradition. There is hot cocoa as well courtesy of our lovely house elves." She flicked her wand and gave the counter, Quietus and smiled brightly at the young, fresh faces around them. The older kids knew they could join. She was more worried about making the newbs feel welcomed.
