(log) camping meme; balder and loki

@bakerstreet

Family fun, a weekend retreat, or maybe something a little more... unplanned. S0metimes it's good to just get away from the distractions of the modern world. Leave the cellphone in the car, disconnect from the digital world and step back into good old Mother Nature.

Loki flopped down onto the ground. This tent that the humans invented might be convenient and all, but it sure was hell to put together. What he had constructed might include every single piece, but it looked nothing like what Yui had described to him. Huff. Who needed a tent anyway? They could just as well build a shelter out of what was there already. Vikings had done it for ages, he saw no problem with it.

With a wave of his hand the metal sticks and fabric reshaped and turned into something entirely different. Still not a tent, but it was a little more entertaining to just turn it into the shape of animals and objects. He rolled over onto his stomach, ignoring the leaves and grass caught in his hair, pouring his imagination in creating interesting shapes. He was completely forgetting about the ordeal with the tent's original design.

Balder was just out getting water for them. That was ll that he did. And he wasn't away that long, was he? But still, Loki managed to do something like this, it seemed. Not that he objected to it, as he had never actually tried to put up a tent either. Putting down his buckets, he looked over at his friend.

"Loki? What are you doing?" Of course, his voice holds no accusations over Loki having turned the tent into something else entirely. Only true confusion, Balder style.

When Balder came back, the tent was in the shape of a chicken. It might not br very...similar to one, given the iron bars that didn't want to bend the way he wanted. Maybe if he heated them up enough... "It got boring. It's slower than jig-saw puzzling." And that's boring too.

The metal fell to the ground with a loud clatter, leaving the fabric to slowly empty itself of air. "Can't we skip the tent?" It was hot and dry outside, even this late, he wouldn't mind.

He wished Loki wouldn't. If he bent the bars, they would not be possible to use the way that they were supposed to be used. "Is there no--" what was it that it was called again? "instruction manual?"

He winces at the loud noise, and sighs. But then he blinks, a little bewildered. "Kusanagi said that camping included a tent, though."

"Yeah, there was." It was just that he couldn't be bothered to read it. It had seemed like such a simple task when he had started. But then it just turned into a mess and he started playing around instead.

He pouted, propping his head up with a hand to his cheek. "But it's boring setting it up."

Oh Loki... There was another sigh there, which should not be a surprise, really. "Can I have a look at it?" Because Loki might not have the patience for it, but Balder would still like to give it a try.

"Mm, sure sure." He picked up the discarded paper with a flick of his finger, letting it float in the air. "Hurry, or it'll blow away~"

"Loki!" There's a berating tone in his voice as he hurries after the paper. But of course, Balder being Balder, trips and falls face first to the ground.

"Ah," Loki lifted his head, but making sure that Balder was fine he started laughing. He releases the instructions from his powers, and they drop to the ground to roll away in the slight wind.

He looks after the papers, a small pout on his lips. Then he sat up, and brushed some dirt out of his face. "Loki, don't laugh."

"But," he keeps on laughing, getting up to pluck moss and leaves out of Balder's hair. "There wasn't anything to trip on."

He sighs, still a little pouty. "You know I trip without anything to trip on..."

"Yeah, I know." He grins and twirls a leave between his fingers. With a muffled sound it lits on fire, and he watches it burn until it's nothing but dusty ash. "You've got dirt on your nose."

"Oh?" He does? He didn't know. He brushes the back of a hand over it, but probably just smears it out some. "Better?"

"That's worse!" With a smile, he reaches out to wipe the mud off the tip of Balder's nose. "There."

"Huh?" Oof, wait, oh my. He smiles. "Thank you, Loki."

The smile turns into a grin, and grabbing a handful of leaves, he throws them over Balder's head.

Now look here.... He brushes the leaves off his head - but manages to miss a few stuck where he can't really see them. "Loki?"

His grin just widens, and he leans his chin on his hands. Nope, he's not helping. If he's got to do the camping thing he might as well have some fun with it. "Yeeees~?"

But he didn't turn down the suggestion, that meant that he wanted to come camping, right? They might be inexperienced with modern human camping, but they were out a lot in the forest together when they were children. "Will you help me make a fire so we can cook our food?" Of course, most of Balder's things brought along happened to be meat.

If Balder had brought meat, Loki had brought mostly candy. "Sure, sure." He had heard good things about marshmallows over open fire, and it was one thing lighting one from his fingers, and a different one roasting it over a bonfire. "Do we have wood already?"

"Mmmm," Balder looks over the little pile of wood, and there's a circle of stones in a spot. "I think we need a bit more."

"Aw, it's enough, isn't it?" He pulls at a piece of wood and throws it in the circle. "I can keep it alive for longer, anyway."

"Ah." He looked over at Loki again. "If you're so sure."

"I a~m." He was a bit too lazy to go and look for more wood, and either way, with his powers it would be no problem. Until he slept. The limiter might not do much good a lot of the time, but it didn't let him do things in his sleep.

He threw on a few more, and lit the fire. "Want a marshmallow?"

”Well, if you are, then I guess everything's fine.” He smiled and started to search his bag as he gets the offer. ”Do you think it works with meat?”

Loki pulled the bag of white fluffy sugarcubes out of the bag he'd brought with him. With a rip the plastic teared open and he popped a squishy treat into his mouth before offering the bag to Balder. "I think it'll be great."

”Really?” Balder takes one of the sweet treats, and inspects it a little. Then he puts it to the side, putting a piece of meat to cook by the fire. ”Thor should have come with us, don't you think?”

Pouting a little when the marshmallow is put to the side (and at the mention of his lone time with Balder possibly having been interrupted by their fellow god), he picked another marshmallow and placed it against Balder's lips.

"Come on, try it~ And Thor's fine, he's hanging out with that Greek god."

He doesn't see what's wrong; Thor was their friend too. Balder blinked when Loki pushed the marshmallow to his mouth, confused. But then he opened his mouth and let Loki poke it inside. He chuckled. "You are so stubborn, Loki."

"But I'm sure he would have enjoyed it." And there had been no sign of snakes this far, either.

It's not wrong. Loki likes and cares for Thor too, but Balder is the most important to him, and lately they haven't been alone very much. He's been worried about Yui stealing Balder from him, and he's not going to let that happen. "Yeah, I know." And he's planning on being even more stubborn tonight. He's not going to let anyone near, damnit.

"Sure, but it's fine if he's playing with others, right?" Thor might not say all that much, but he was better at playing nice than Loki, so he didn't have much to worry about. The Greek wasn't going to steal him.
