Penny had to laugh. "Actually, Eric was thinking about having a 'guy night'. He was going to ask Mads and some of his co-workers if they wanted to play like poker or something." she said to Lima. She turned around and set up her tent.

"Aunt Lim, when is River getting up?" Lexa shily asked Lima. She was excited to be here and she wanted her buddy.

Aaaand there was someone. On a BROOOOOM.

Cam eyed the woman, she looked slightly older than Reese but WHOO was she, eh?! Oh. EEEEEP she got a ppuuuuuurrrdddy broom. AND OMGASH IT WAS A FIREBOLT. But who was she? WHO WAS THIS WOMAN?! He didn't recognize her at all and all he could do was stare. "Psssstttt Lima who's that laaaadddyy ovah there?" he said pointing and jumping.

He was itching to touch that broom of hers. "Oiiiiiiiii LAAADY," he shouted, "niiiiiceee broom ya got there, heh."

Hmmpphh.

"But Leeeeeemaaaaa. It's a nature triiip. What was I suppose to do? Leave 'em at home?" he frowned and wondered why she thought his tiny mouse-like lemurs were dangerous to River. IN FAAAACTTTT--wasn't River the danger in this situation?! THAT... THAT KIIIID COULD TOTALLY KILL HIS LEMURS IF HE COULD.

And she was still telling on him? TO HER HUSSSBAAAND?! "If he does get hurt, it's only a scratch or a bite," he told her, "maaah leeemurs aren't rabid no no nooooo." OF COUUUURSE NOT. Were they? WERE THEY?! He hadn't checked at all. "Plus it's like toooootally nature here and we're camping and aaall. Ya reaaaaally expect River to go outta these woods without a scratch?"


Ooooh. Reminded him of bug bites. EEEEEK. Did he have insect repellent?!

"Yep, and we are going to fly with River on the broom too." She didn't want to teach him Quidditch though. She knew that that was up to his father. Maddox was excited to do it.

"Oh really? Well, he should love that. I'll tell him when I get back home." She wondered what insanity a bunch of guys could get up to them decided that she didn't really want to know after all.

"He should be up soonish, hun. Then you can play after I give him some food." The sooner you fed him after he woke the better his mood. And she was still worried about him getting over stimulated.

Aah, so Cam was meeting Pretzel at last. "That's my best friend, Rapunzel. She's a player for the Chudley Cannons."


Her expression softened a little more. "Well, of course I expect him to get scuffed up. He's a toddler. But that doesn't mean that I want any wild animals biting him and giving him something." She shuddered, knowing that she was probably being paranoid but she couldn't help it.

"You're sure that these things aren't feral?" She cast another glance at them. She wasn't letting River near them unless they were totally harmless.

"Great! I will let Eric know." She said. She was worried that when Mads had met Eric that he would not like him, but now they are like two peas in a pod. Penny listened to what Lima told Lex. "Lex darling, why don't you eat something to? You were to excited to eat earlier." She asked her daughter.

"Ok!" she said to Lima. Then she listened to her mum. "I am not hungry." she told Penny as she planted her hands on her hips. Daddy said she did not have to eat till she was hungry so she would eat when River did. "I am going to eat with River." she told her mum.

Robert looked at Liz as she spoke and his frown stayed, he wasn't amused. "I had been joking with that." As she moved closer he bent his head down to help her pull the leaves he missed out of his hair and hearing her words looked at her, "Are you done picking on me now? I tripped and fell." What a great way to start the trip... Looking over Liz's shoulder he spotted Lima and set the camping gear down on the ground. AS Liz grabbed his hand he followed her. Pulling his backpack higher up on his shoulder he looked around searching for people he may know but about half way through gave up. He didn't know anyone while he was in school...why would he know anyone now and aside from Liz no one else bothered coming to his games regularly even if he was one of the best in the league.

Following Liz further as they approached Lima, Robert heard Lima's question and muttered, "Never better." He was just lucky he hadn't sprained or broken anything. Looking over his shoulder he nodded toward the camping stuff, "Where should I set that up?"

The fact Robert was still frowning didn't help Elizabeth's tendency to worry about things any. Usually her teasing made him feel better, so he must really be annoyed if it wasn't working. She sighed at his words as he let her finish pulling the leaves from his hair, momentarily giving up on lifting his mood until she could figure out what was going to work. Quickly going up on her tiptoes, she lightly kissed him before whispering, "I'm glad you're okay." She paused for a second, as the rest of what he'd said settled into her mind, then gazed at him seriously. "I wasn't trying to pick on you. And I'm sorry I'm hyper-protective of Dylan. It's not like I've done this before," she said, still worried that his mood was going to ruin their time here. It was already worrying her beyond belief, like it always did.

But then the attention had gone to Lima, and she felt when he had set the camping gear down and started to let her pull him over to her friend. She knew he was uncomfortable with everyone. It wasn't like she knew all the people who were here, or were most likely going to be, but this was one of the first times they'd gotten to do anything since Dylan's birth. Other than her going to his Quidditch matches. As they got closer to the former Huffie, she tried to work up a smile. Especially at the low greeting, but as she heard Robert's muttered response, her expression faltered. "We're good," she replied. "A little bit of a disagreement, or misunderstanding, I guess, but it'll be fine." She couldn't help but give some explanation, since she knew Lima could see through any act she could give. But a tiny laugh escaped her as Robert cut to the chase, and bluntly asked about where they could set up their tent and everything. She needed to get him out of this mood, or it was going to drive her crazy.

Umm cause ya'll are going adventuring while you said I can stay here ?! she said sort of overly reactingly freaking out quietly.It was just so gaah.She neeeded her hair straighteners.It had been less than a hour and her hair was already starting to curl up.And the worst part was her hair was naturally straight! Shut up. she shook her head.

Are.You.Mental. She said blankly.I am not dropping from this tree.That materess cause be un soft or something. she shook her head.
No.No.No.No.Noooooo! Clark was here now.Shana just drop from the tree and possibly bang your head on something.Sighing she looked over at him.Umm Hi. she said sort of quietly,Okay so mabye he didn't hear but atleast she'd said something.

Smiling at Cedric she flailed her legs about.Then can You save me from this treeeeee! she flailed her legs some more,accidentally flicking one of her fluffy boots offf.And umm while your at it could you save my boot from the bush ? she said blankly.

"Pretzel! You finally came!" she called out as she started heading towards her blonde best friend. "Did you get lost? After all the directions I gave you?" Silly Pretzel. She could be so hopeless at times.

"O'course I came! I was invited, right?" Punz grinned and ran to hug Lima. "Lost schmost. I just took a, uh, scenic detour.... kinda.... few miles out of the way... you know they have some nice trees here. Nice trees. They all look alike though."

She shrugged her broom off her shoulder and untied the pillowcase, then carefully -- CAREFULLY, cos this thing was precious -- set her broom down on top of it. "I kinda forgot a tent though, um, after my awesome scenic detour." Lima would help her out though, right?

He was itching to touch that broom of hers. "Oiiiiiiiii LAAADY," he shouted, "niiiiiceee broom ya got there, heh."

"I'm Rapunzel!" the blonde spoke up to some kinda-hyper younger kid. "But you can call me Pretzel. Or Punzel. Or Punz. Or McBolical." Cos she was just that cool to have 7,000 names.

She eyed him eying her broom and shifted over to stand in front of it protectively, arms folded and all. "I know it's nice. Expensive too. You play Quidditch?"

She smiled at Penny. "Good. This will be great for them since they are so busy." Poor Maddox. Being an Auror must be really draining. But the pay was good and he loved it.

She laughed at Lex's next comment. "Well, that's fine with me as long as your mummy approves." She winked at Penny. River would love the company. And she had packed a lot of food. Even though Penny would have packed stuff for Lex of course.

She nodded at Liz's statement though she raised her bro slightly. Seemed that she wasn't getting the full story here. Instead she decided that it was best to deal with the dirty man that was in front of her. "Robert, you poor dear." Seemed he wasn't so outdoorsy.

"You can set camp wherever you want on this site. Where we are right now?" She didn't think he could handle much more of things. Poor guy wasn't built like Maddox she supposed. "You want some water or something?" she added concerned.

"And how is Dylan." What a cute name for a baby girl.



"I wasn't saying that seriously, Shana. You think I'd let you stay here when we all go out? Have you ruin your vacation." And as an extra incentive, she added, I think Clark will be staying at the campsite as much as possible." It was true. The poor think looked like he might live in his tent here.

"This mattress is cushioned. Shana Miller, you get out of this tree right now!" She was getting stern now. She wasn't having this girl in the tree all day. She was being silly.

"Mmhmm, sure. You decided to take a 3 hour broom ride around the woods," she replied with a roll of her eyes and a snort. "Must have been some beautiful scenery over the forest of Dean." so typical of her star Quidditch player.

And she forgot a tent? When she was going camping for a weekend? "Oh, Pretzel. Please tell you you brought other necessities with you at least." And why didn't this surprise her? Oh, right. 'cause it was her. "You're lucky I have a big magical tent 'cause of River. You can bunk with us then." Lucky woman landed herself in a really nice tent. There was even air conditioning.

"CHUDLEeeeeyy Cannons??!" HOLY MACKERELSSSSsss. How was he suppose to know that Lima's best friend was a Chudley Cannons player?! If she had told him, he'd be begging her to get her autograph by now. EEEEEP EEEEP. Chudley Cannons. He was quite a fan of course, ohh that's right that's riiight. Now she did look quite familiar... He choked, that is, if he was eating something but it was if some sort of a hairball was sprouting out from his throat as he looked at the woman one more time.

"Aaand well mah lemurs aren't wild. Heh, they're as harmless as mice really," miiiice were harmless, right? "And plus, they won't bite or scratch unless River like... goes to and tries to make some sort of a lemur massacre."

Ohh if that boy killed his lemurs, bad things would happen. To Lima of course--because he wouldn't hurt a child would he? Heehee.

"They're not feral, I knoooow that pshhhhh. I've been bitten and scratched by the lot of 'em and well, I haven't gone insane have I?"

...

Definitely a bad choice of words right there.

But seriously WHATEVER because that broom lady was coming there way! COMING. THERE. WAY. He started shivering--what was he suppose to say, WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSE TO DOOOO?! Oh telling her she had a nice broom was such a bad idea. "Oii Lima, do ya think my hair looks good, eh? Is it--guhhh," he started shuffling his hair thinking it wasn't good enough for that woman, "is sheeee--WOT'S SHE LIKE?"

Yet the lady had already flown down. ERRRR...

"Hey," he said in a tone as though he was attempting to act like a cool, popular conversation, hoping to impress the lady. BUT OH HOW'D THE CONVERSATION PROGRESS THEN?! So many choices to decide.

Should he go act out all Cam-like or all unCam-like??!!?!11

"I mean--I MEAN HIIIIIII, Rapunzel, you say?" he greeted, waving his hand. So. Totally Cam-like because he thought he was already awesome... right? PSHHYEAH he was SO awesome. Raaapuuunzel? What an awesome name. And she apparently had tons of nicknames, "liiike, I can tootally call you Rapper right? Do you rap? Huh?"

She didn't look like the rapper... kind of woman though. "Can I--can I touuuuuuuch it?" He wanted to touch a Chudley Cannons broom. And then never wash his hand ever again. "Oh I played Quidditch for the Slytherin team alright but I never really went for the Quidditch career though," he told her because... well he preferred naaaaturalist over Quidditch player. WAS THAT SUCH A BAD THING? But psh he could so be recruited in a Quidditch team... if he wanted too.

Yeah. Like. Totally. Right?

"I guess I'm pretty good on a broom." PRETTY GOOD? GAWSH HE THOUGHT HE PLAYED PRETTY AWESOME.

... This girl was pretty. /random

A man carrying a large bag on his back and levitating a few more bags in front of him made his way towards the camp. He saw his sister's blonde braid hanging down, and a few other people she was near. Siiigh. Too bad he really only knew Emiliano and Lima - but then again, this camp out was supposed to help bonding.

Right?

And a little break while the others here carried around his new daughter. Of course, he would have to be careful with who had her. He knew Karma would have her about 40% of the time, and Addie another 40%. Somewhere in there, he would get his daughter. She was having one of her crying-when-daddy-holds-her-and-not-liking-him phases.

Kristofer looked a little older, but not much. He had that 'new dad' look - the scruffy one where he didn't shave every day, messy hair, a few bags under his eyes - but he still looked the same.

"Hellooo everyone," he said, setting their things down. "Addie and Cecilia will be here shortly."

Heheeee. She was really happy to see Emiliano again, even if some of their dates had been preoccupied with Cecilia. Well, those really weren't dates - more of him coming over while she watched Cici while Kris and Addie went out. But whatever works, she was happy with that.

Gaahhh, true on the part where Em hadn't seen Cici in months. Karma and Kris were both busy with work, and when Karma wasn't busy she was watching Cecilia so Addie could work. In all reality, Kris said Karma didn't have to have a job because she was always watching her niece, but she did want one for now. Ehh. Too much work - she chose to work a few days a week with Kris.

"She looks like Kris and Addie too," she said. "I mean, obviously. They only say she looks like me because I spend so much time with her. Which isn't a bad thing, she'd pick up some excellent qualities."

OMG EVEE MOMENT. Aww, she missed Evee SOO MUCH.

"Of course you can hold her," Kris said, walking over towards Lima and giving her a big hug. "She's in one of her phases today where she cries a lot, so be warned. It doesn't mean she hates you, she just wants Addie or Karma."

"Because I'm so awesomeee!" Karma said in a singsong voice, and butt bumping her brother.

"It wasn't, like, threeee hours... well.... OKAY I WAS LOST!" Punz threw up her hands in a hopeless gesture but still smiled nonetheless. "The important thing is, I'm here now and we can party!" Teehee. Lima still loved her, right?

Obviously she loved Punz enough to let her stay in her tent. "I brought my hairbrush and toothbrush, o'course, but more importantly: I'm lucky! Cos I get to stay with you!!" Yip yip YAY MAGICAL TENT. The blonde could have ran and hugged the tent right then and there but, being the uh, mature adult she was, did not.

"Where is River anyway?" It occurred to her to ask, looking about the campsite for other peoples she knew.

"Rapper? Humm okay," Rapunzel turned back toward the kid whose name she still didn't know and tilted her head. She'd had many an odd nickname in her day (like Ella calling her Zel for one) but Rapper was.... was new! And different! And therefore cool.

But. Touching THEEEE broom was not cool. "You wanna... well you said you've played before, right????" She squinted at the guy, sizing up his trustworthiness around brooms. "What's your name again?"

Name, address, age, height, date of birth, parents' names, social security number.... you could never be too sure who would try to make off with yer broom.

She decided that it was probably best to ignore the fanboying over her best friend. Though she did have to hiss out, "calm down. You're going to scare her away."

She put her hands on her hips. "Are you trying to imply that my son is a mean child?" She did not like that at all. River was a little angel. If anything happened it would be the lemurs to blame.

"That does not fill me with confidence. You better keep an eye on those things. I'm not having them hurt my baby."

"Kris Atkins!" she called out to the handsome man that just arrived. "Well, how are you doing today, Daddy?" She laughed and wrapped the new father in a big hug.

"don't worry, I can handle the crying. I'll just pass her off to Karma." haha.

"You silly woman," she said shaking her head. She had given Pretzel extra thorough instructions. And Mads had talked to her on the phone about it too. "I dunno how someone that is so good at Quidditch can have such bad directional skills. But yes, I'm glad you're here. There is no party without Pretzel." It was a fact. Pretzel = fun.

"Well, at least you aren't completely at a loss then," she added slightly frowning. Well, she would have plenty of food. And all that. "did you bring shampoo?" hopefully clothes as well but you could never know with her.

"And he's sleeping in the tent. I'm trying hard not to wake him." She shuddered. Where was her husband when she needed him?

"No it doesn't!" Miles laughed. "I've seen it before. Horrible, tiny tearway children hitting their parents and screaming at them. Because they have been to soft on them." Vannie wasn't unerly soft, that was more him. But he was meant to be the fun dad! Miles rubbed his back for a little bit. "Yeaah, I think I'll just relax the whole time we're here." He smiled.

WHEEE!

Miles was ready to drop all these bags in the magical tent and start a BBQ up or something. HUNGRY OR WHAT? Miles waved at Lima, as he had just heard her explain about river being in the land of nod, and ran up to her and gave her a hug, lifting her feet off the ground. "Isn't this camping thing such a good idea!"

Clark bit his lip. "Of course I'm happy!" he said, smile returning to his face. "Oh, you think I wouldn't have 'moved on'? No, I've moved on. I mean, Shana was such a loser and so not right for me. I mean, sure, she's right for someone else, but I don't think I could deal with that much DRAMA." Clark quickly swivled around towards Shana and glared. Hard.
"OOF." Clark grimaced as he was embraced. "Raisin. I can't breathe." he gasped, taking his hat off, revealing....oh my goodness, could it be...it was. Clark had dyed his hair. BLACK. "I finally made it? Ok, I thought I was early. But there isn't a very good clock situation in my man cave."

Shana Miller.

The bane of Clark's existence. His ex-girlfriend. The reason he had fixed ruined his hair. And she was saying....HAIII? No matter. He was here to look like he had a life. "Shana! How are you darling? I would have written, but I was busy...with my girlfriend....named Jennifer. She's a model." He chuckled. Technically, he was lying. But, he had to impress her somehow.
Addie Atkins apparated a few yards away from the campsite, with one of those cool baby carriers on her back. She looked like Kris, with the circles under her eyes, hair mussed up hair, but happy. Yes, definitley happy.

She didn't like to apparate when she was with Cilia, but it was safe, and she was not walking from her car. Addie checked to see if her daughter was still sleeping-she was-and meandered over to the camp site. Kris and Karma were talking to Lima and others were scattered around. The girl who had been proposed to last year was...in a tree above them. Eek. "Hey, guy-" she started to greet everybody, but then a little someone decided to wake up.

"WAAAA." Cecila exclaimed. There were lots of people here! There was Emmy, and Karma, and Daddy, and Mummy was right there. She gurgled.

Addie laughed. "She's awake."

Rapper it was. But... he felt QUITE odd calling this girl a Rapper. Buuut if she liiiked it. Hehe.

And she wasn't letting him touch her broom? NUUUUU Cam wanted to touch that broom and he wanted to touch it RIGHT NAOOOOO. He frowned at Rapper and gave her a loooong stare, similar to the one he gave his lemur. "Youu don't TRUUUST meeeeee?!" he said melodramatically and continued that stare, "buuuuuuuut I promise I won't do anything to it, nooooope." He wouldn't right? But so many temptations he had to fight.

"Uhhhh huhhhh I've played before PunPunnnzz," not ONLY was that a better nickname than Rapper (in his opinion) but it SOOOOO reminded him of BunBunzz, "I've played Chaser and Seeker and all--I'M LAIK EXPERIENCED PUNZZ, I'm all *scoff* pro."

So. Pro. Ooobviiiously.

"And yes, did'ja bring shampoo?" he asked with Lima. Heh she smelled FUUIIIINEEEE. He needed to ... maybe steal borrow some of those ... shampoo. Maybe. WEEEEEE.

Scare her awaaaayyyy? PFFFT if Cam was normal, that girl would have already scared him away so wasn't it just nice if they both acted insane with each other?? "Fiiiiiiiiineeeeeeeeeee, but but butttt I have the rights to go crazy any time now," because well he DID and if Lima had a problem with that, all he had to do was uh... MAKE HIS LEMURS HUUURTTT HER.

And put some memory charm on her so she wouldn't TAAATTLE him on her husband. Good plan, no? Noowwww she was putting her hands on her hips. WELL. Cam did the same, "Aaare YOU sayin' mah lemurs are mean animals?" He did not like that at all. Nakato and Mosi were little aaaangels. If ANYTHING happened, it would be River to blame.

"And iffff they dooo attack--it's all a mere self defense. They don't hurt for noooothing," he said with a fervent nod--SO AHAAAAAAA, if River was hurt, it ... would have been his fault. Regardless or not he was still some toddler and didn't know how to behave properly among hissssss animals.

"Fiiiiineeeee Leeeemaaa. You keep an eye on your child and I'll keep an eye on mine," he said with a sigh, because the lemurs were basically family to him by now. Right? Yes. Of course.

At the last remark, Karma stuck her tongue out at Lime before turning back to Emiliano.

Kris chuckled slightly when she called him Daddy. "Well, other than the fact I'm running on about 3 hours of sleep, and little Cici is going through her not liking Daddy day, I'm fine."

Karma turned to see her sister in law walking towards them with the baby carrier on her back. Of course there was her little niece, sleeping away, and a smile broke across her face. That little girl just loved to sleep, it seemed.

And then, she started to cry. Karma immediately walked behind to Cecilia, and unbuckled the carrier, scooping the now awake child into her arms.

"Cecilia, say hi to everyone," she said, raising her arm in a mock wave kind of thing.

Sooo many people! Sooo many faces! It was SO SO hard for Cici to remember everything. But... the colors! The movement!

HUNGERRRRRR. She flailed her chubby arms slightly, and nuzzled her head into Karma's shoulder and started to cry again.

"Got it," Kris said, walking over to the baby bag and pulling out a bottle of formula for the girl, and standing next to his extremely short sister to feed his daughter the bottle. He grinned widely at his daughter. Maybe him feeding her would make her like him again.

"In Quidditch," Rapunzel began, sticking one finger up in the air as if she were reliving her infamous Butter Speech, "there is only one direction on the pitch: to the goal hoops! So, yeah, that has nothing to do with it." Cheyyyyyeah though, ain't no party wit no Pretzels!

Lima's question about shampoo had her thinking though. Punz knelt down and rummaged around in her pillowcase of Stuff for a minute, then nodded and whipped out two sparkly purple bottles. "Shampoo AND conditioner, yep!" Hehee she would never forget to take care of her hair.

She tossed the bottles back into the bag and dusted off her knees. "Why's he sleeping for? He should be out exploring the campsite! Let's go see him!" Punzie loved that kid.

"I hardly knowwww you," Rapper (xD) drawled out in reply to the kid. "Chaser and Seeker, welllll I guesss you might be trustworthy if you played both of those positions. That's what I used to do at Hogwarts. Now I just chase."

She might've puffed out her chest a bit proudly and picked up the broomstick again. "Okay. You can hold Ne-Yo Yo. But only cuz he's not the one I use at Cannon games."

Ha, as IF she would be allowed to bring a team broom camping. Nevah. Punz shook her head at the thought and then blinked at the Cam kid. "Shampoo? Yeahhhh did YOU bring shampoo?" Why was he asking anyway?

She giggled in surprise as he lifted her off the ground in a hug. "WHOA! Miles!" She was so happy to see him again. "I knew you would love it, Miles. How are you doing?" He seemed to be doing well considering all the stuff that he had been burdened with.

"Mmhmm. I can tell," she replied to him not believing a word that he said. "If you want me to I can arrange it so that you and Shana can see as little of each other as possible."
Now she just had to figure out how to do that. Poor kid. He so wasn't over her yet. It was heartbreaking.



Then she heard a baby. Turning to the direction of the sound, she saw that Addy had arrived. She didn't really know the woman, but it was good to see her. She gave her a wave and waited for her to make her way over to them.

She rolled her eyes and decided that she was done with the Pretzel madness. She wasn't the one that would have to deal with the fanboying thankfully. Unless it got to the point where he was outside the tent at night. Then she would have to take Pretzel's broom and go to town.

"River is 3. It isn't his fault. You are the one that brought those things. You know how he is." he was a sneaky little devil. Last summer he had gotten away from Jake and jumped off of a pier.

"Yes, I'll keep an eye on my son."

She stuck her tongue out at Karma before laughing at Kris' comment. "Aah, the joys off new parenthood. Can't say that I miss that." She had forgotten how good sleep was when River was an infant.

Awwww and the little girl was with them now. She smiled and waved at her. So adorable. She smiled as she watched Karma feed her.

"that is almost as nonsensical as your story about the origin of your name." There had to be more to Quidditch than just that. Otherwise it was a much simpler game than Lima thought it was. So yeah. "We can start playing soon. But you can't teach River." Very sad as Pretzel had wanted to.

"Well, at least you have your shampoo and conditioner," she said relieved as she saw the bottles that had been taken out. Lima didn't want to have to deal with Pretzel if she didn't wash her hair. That would have been gross and unhygienic.

"He's sleeping 'cause he got over excited about the trip and he needed a rest. Kid gets too over stimulated at times. You can wake him if you want to though." She was trying to pass that job off to anyone. And River loved Auntie Pretzel, so that was a help.

"Oof" Raven said as Cedric practically flung herself at her, it was definately good to see her cousin again, she had to remember the last time that she saw him until it hit her like a ton of bricks, she last saw him at her own wedding. "It's good to see you again Ced" She said and hugged him.

Robert glanced at Liz as she spoke to Lima and then at Lima. Glancing around he spotted a place where no one seemed to have set up around and then back down at the spot they were at. Liz would probably want to stay close to her friend. "Alright." Turning around he made his way to get the supplies shaking his head at Lima's offer of water, "No, I'm fine thanks," he said over his shoulder. Pulling his backpack higher up on his shoulder he picked up everything once more and carried them over to start figuring out how to put it together. Kneeling down he went to work every so often glancing up at Liz. He still hadn't told her...he needed to.... Running his hand through his hair he looked over everything. He hadn't a clue where to start...this is what he got for having a father who didn't care enough to do things like this.

"Liz...a little help here?" He didn't really feel like fighting with his magic..especially with this crowd.

As Lima offered to help Emiliano set up his camp near hers, he made a wide smile as he carried around the bags and leaving Karma behind for a little time to set up the magical tents. "They're magical tents. I had some extra time to set them up, thankfully and not be dealing with back problems later." He knew the result of sleeping in small sleeping bags. He prepared his small magical tent, everything set inside it for him to be normally...prepared for any camping walk out.

By the way, he didn't act quite surprised as Lima commented Cam Karsten had brought a few lemurs into the camp. "Well, let's just watch over the kid, who should be watching the creatures..." He said, letting out a small chuckle as he threw in the rest of the bags into the tent.

Going back to the friends' gathering and saw Kris, Addie and little Cecilia were already there. "Hey, Kris...Addie, Cecy..." He greeted, giving a wide smile to the little one. She was sooo cute and obviously had the charm of the Atkins. Hehe. Karma was holding her, so as for now he knew the baby could not be bothered while eating.

So...Diana is pregnant. He thought. Would it mean that he was going to be so careful as well with his nephew?

EEk...let's wait.

Elizabeth could sense how Robert kept glancing at her while she spoke to Lima, but she wasn't sure she wanted to know why just yet. He almost seemed angry at her, but she knew he had to have understood her reasoning. Neither one of them had wanted to leave their daughter for too long, and she knew he had to be having trouble with the idea almost more than she did, considering she had the possibility of working from home if possible. She did glance back as he spoke in response to Lima's comment about where they could set their things up, but by then he had already walked off. Sighing a little, she turned back to Lima only to find out the ex-Huffie had indeed been curious about them. But when she asked about Dylan, a smile crept across her face. "She's doing great. I mean, everyone seems to love her, and she's just getting cuter every day." She was beginning to think Mari was going to move in with them, even though she knew Robert would frown upon that. "My mother's watching her at the house while we're here," she then explained.

But then she heard her name being called, and turned her head to see Robert over by the camping gear, looking a little frazzled. But at least he didn't look as upset anymore. "Excuse me," she said to Lima, before heading the little way away to stand by her husband. "Magic or no magic?," she asked, smiling a little at him as she could tell he wasn't entirely sure how to set things up. Sometimes she forgot he hadn't grown up with the same expereiences she had. But she also didn't want him to think she made him look bad if she just used a charm to set the tent and everything up.

Camping! One of Brian's most fav. hobbies. He used to this one right from his childhood. Thanks to his gran for introduced him to this kind of adventure and fun. He knew they, He and his wife Becca were bit late. But he knew they could catch them in quick time. With three fouth of their stuffs like sleeping bags and all other essential materials for camping, were on his heavy backbag which was firmly fixed on his back as he stood there to start walking into the woods and took Becca's hands in his. "We have to move fast to catch them.." he said with a chuckle.

"Miles Parker! I am not going to go soft on our daughter!" Vanessa scowled at him, as she watched Grace run over to Lima. Did he really think she would do that. "And Gracie wouldn't hit us anyway." She mused with a smile. Their daughter was too adorable for that.
"Come here." She rolled her eyes, as she stood behind him, and rubbed his back. She didnt want him to be in pain. "Better?"

"Wiver get up now!" Grace giggled. She wanted her best friend now. She pouted as she looked up at Lima, as if expecting the woman to go get him. Maybe she could just run into the tent and wake him up. Tehhe evil child.
"Mummy says you play qwiddwitch."
