He was quite unaware of how slow this was going and the impatience of his bro. But if you wanted a tent that wouldn't fall on you while you were sleeping, then you had to make sure everything was allright, specfially if you didn't have magic to do it. Plus, having done this so many times, Tristan was having lots of fun. Hehe- What? Tarzan?

At Nathan's words, Tristan doubled over with laughter, keeping one hand to hold the poles. After what seemed like a long time, he straightened up again and started with the poles again. He opened his mouth and shut it again, trying to think of something to say. Then... "Nooo..." So much for a comeback comment. "I was playing Aragorn..." Smirk.

"Ugh...that sounds nasty." Corrodes. Not good. Not that he was overly concerned by his looks, but come on. "A lookout! Now, that's a good idea." he grinned also, "Or what if we accio the water!" A look of excitement etched on his features. Though it might look weird if a stream of water just happened to flow a few feet from the ground. "Or no wait...no magic, right." Yeah, that too.

And Arjuna seemed to be doing pretty great with setting up her own tent. "Have you been camping alot?" he asked her with interest. He hadn't met many women who could pitch their own tents - it was quite fun to see Arjuna being capable of doing it herself.

Looking down at the handiwork again, Tristan began making a knot to the rope wrapped around the pole, with a frown of concentration. In a second he was thrown off by the tent's sudden expansion, the tent wall sort of bouncing of him, making him stumble backwards and hitting the ground. "Ouch." he said in a dull montone voice. Well, looky here. He was flat on the ground, again. It was quite possible he was lying on the rock Nathan had cleared from their campsite before.

As if this situation wasn't something new, he replied to the tea query. "Oh I'd like some...I got a bottle of water in my bag..." It was a big bottle, he had come prepared, hopefully that would be enough for a couple rounds of tea drinking. Maybe he would stay here. It was nice, and betted it looked real nice at night with the stars and all.
