Lake Party Water Post Day Two

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Sunshine Dust, the golden squid, frolics closer to shore today. There were so many people to play with in the lake yesterday! And squids need love and attention too!

There's a soft breeze coaxing the water into gentle waves, playing around the Black Pearl's sails.

If you didn't get a chance to swim yesterday, there is only today.

Tomorrow, it will be February again.

"And I missed it?" Barbara wails. "I can't believe it. I should have known something like that was going to happen, and I missed it!"

"I put all my stealth training into use," Steph informs her. "I was, like, sneakier than Cass. - Not Cass my kitten. The Cass I named it for."

Babs laughs, "No one's sneakier than Cass. Well, except maybe Batman." Then she blinks, "You have a kitten, and you named her after Cass?"

Steph doesn't look actually embarassed, just sort of - awkward - at being caught out in sentimentality.

"He's really tiny, and sleek, and he has sharp claws," she explains, lamely. "And I miss Cass, too."

The awkward look gets a soft smile in response, "She's doing well. Did she tell you about the time I took her on a cruise? I... sort of made her take a vacation."

And she laughs, "You named a male kitten 'Cassandra'?"

"I didn't know he was a boy," Steph protests. "You made her take a vacation? How did that end?"

"Oh, come one, Steph. I know you're old enough to tell boy bits from girl bits." She had a baby after all. That implies a significant degree of said knowledge.

"Yeah, I did... It," Babs rolls her eyes, "Of course turned into a disaster. Turns out Kon was there, and she recognized him. And then there was a terrorist attack." She sighs. Figures.

"Kon," Steph echoes, but bites herself off from saying anything else. She doesn't have to ruin Babs' day again. "And Cass was, like, four weeks old. He's tiny. Kittens' boy bits are all, like, sealed up inside, it's totally weird. We didn't figure it out till I went to stay at Sharpe's farm for a few days."

Barbara shakes her head, "You know, somehow I bet that kitten gets into a lot of mischief." He belongs to Steph, after all.

[alwaysroomforhope]

Steph looks super innocent.

"Why would you think that? He's far too tiny to get into trouble. He's, like, the size of my hand."

"I know you?" If Steph had a pet rock it would get into mischief.

Steph beams at her.

It's going to be great having Babs here.
