Outside Nonexis Tent, Friday Afternoon

Natalie was starting to really get fed up with camp living. It was mostly the heat, but it wasn't just the heat. It was the close quarters, the telepath tentmate (as much as she tried not holding that against Toby), the lack of a keyboard to practice on, and the fact that the wifi was crap.

Not that that stopped Natalie from trying. She was sitting in the shade underneath the tree near her tent, clad in a tank top and some shorts (she generally preferred to cover up more but it was either this or feeling even more uncomfortable in jeans), with her laptop in front of her. She'd been in town earlier, so she had some strawberries to snack on, and the remains of a Squishy to drink, but those didn't seem to help much with her mood.

She was even honestly contemplating giving up on being online and heading down to the beach to see whether a swim would be refreshing. And that was not a thought that crossed her mind often. This weather just didn't agree with her.

"Personal appearance does matter on some level," he said. "Being this good looking does have a point, you know."
whenshewasnice: (Think you're in control.)

"Does it?"

She looked like she doubted that.

"Well it does make one more approachable." People approached Jace all the time. And then his personality scared them off. "People are much more willing to give out information to someone they find attractive."
whenshewasnice: (Not impressed.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have very little need for that." Like someone who wasn't great at that whole social thing, anyway. "I can take or leave being approached, too."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh right, your aloof thing," Jace said with a nod. "I almost forgot 'cause of how upbeat and cheerful you are with me."
whenshewasnice: ([neu] If you must.)

Natalie, predictably, rolled her eyes. "It's just my personality. You're not exactly a morning ray of sunshine yourself."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey, I'm totally a ray of sunshine," Jace said. "You know, in the sense that I'm hot and can get in your eyes and be bothersome."
whenshewasnice: (Like a princess.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Snort. "Well yeah, in that sense," she allowed. "As long as you're aware of it."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Aware of it? I'm proud of it," he said. "Especially when people ignore my sunshine like qualities and put up with me anyway."

It happened so rarely that it shocked the hell out of him.
whenshewasnice: (Flick of fingers.)

"Well, the school administration stuck me with you," Natalie pointed out idly. "So I have no choice."

Except for how the one thing Natalie V. Adams had never and would never do was put up with people she didn't actually like.

"Suuuuuure," Jace drawled. "It's your scholarly duty and that's all. I believe that."
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Find perfection.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"I only do what is asked of me." Yeah, no. "It's rude to doubt me that obviously, little brother."

"I'd never doubt you, big sister." He was a bad liar sometimes.
whenshewasnice: ([neu] Sighworthy.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm doubting you right now," Natalie replied without missing a beat. "Think you'd lie better than that."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"I only lie well when it counts," he said with a wave of his hand. "I find most of the time the truth is more interesting anyway."
whenshewasnice: (A place for me.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, the truth is I'm picky about who I put up with," Natalie drawled. "But you've already figured that out."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"I like that aspect of your personality," Jace said. "It makes me feel special."
whenshewasnice: (Nothing for you to worry about.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"As if that's an aspect of your personality that needs any outside support," she replied. "I'm sure you think yourself special enough without my help."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah but it's more special when someone else helps out." It was like sex versus masturbating, really. "And I'm very grateful for your contribution."
whenshewasnice: (Hide in plain sight.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course you are." She sighed, examining the empty box that had run out of strawberries. "Ugh. Think I'm going to head back into town. Possibly the beach."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh fine, leave me by my lonesome," Jace said, tossing his hair back dramatically. "I care not."
whenshewasnice: (Hold still.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Or you can come with me," Natalie replied, roling her eyes before grabbing her laptop and getting up. "Unless you'd prefer to stay and be melodramatic."

[identity profile] liarallmyown.livejournal.com 2012-06-23 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's too hot to be melodramatic," Jace said, pushing himself up. "It's more of a winter activity."

So, yes, he'd be coming along.
whenshewasnice: (Your lips are moving.)

[personal profile] whenshewasnice 2012-06-23 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, something to look forward to in the coming winter," Natalie said dryly as she went towards their with the intention of putting her laptop away and grabbing a bag with beach stuff. "Jace Wayland's brand of melodrama. Can't wait."
