The boardwalk, Friday evening

Blair didn't have ice to work with this time, but she tried to do what she could with the location she had. Luckily the beach was pretty. Besides, too much gold in the decorations tended to cross the line into tacky.

So she kept the decorations to twinkling gold lights and candles. Most of the linens were a crisp white, with golden napkins and table runners to provide pops of color.

The bulk of the gold went into the food. There were brandied apricots, lemon and chocolate cheesecakes, mango sorbets, small cups of saffron vanilla pudding, miniature stuffed yellow peppers, and any number of foods that followed the theme, along with the pies that Ned had made.

Drinks were mixed, but naturally included Goldschläger, as well as coffee and cocoa decorated with tiny gold letters which said things like "Fandom" or "Goodbye Summer."

Blair had staked out a prime table with a view of the water. She sipped at a passionfruit martini, listened to the music coming out of the various speakers she'd had set up, and looked forward to a night of judging watching the crowd.

She was also going to make sure nobody served those skunks. Clearly they didn't know how to hold their liquor.

"I helped make 'em. 'Cause my boyfriend's the tall guy who was lookin' all awkward with them," Kaylee said proudly. "Try them all! Don't try to choose. Because it's pie. Pie's worth the tummyache."

"Aching belly is making for easy prey," Firekeeper said dubiously.

She shook her head. "Not in the dorms. You can just lie in bed an' if you're me, you get to look at your pretty roomie!"

"Is truth, dorms is being very safe place," Firekeeper admitted, somewhat reluctantly. "Blind Seer will make fun. But..." the pies really did smell very good, after all... she edged towards the table, picking up a piece at random.

"What's a Blind Seer?" she wondered, grinning because that was totally a victory in her book.

Firekeeper bit her lip, thinking on how to explain. "Is... my brother. And closest friend. He was being in class too, only not climbing rope. No hands."

"The doggie!" she said, understanding. "Um, he's your brother? Does he talk?"

"Wolf," Firekeeper corrected patiently. "He speak, but not in same way humans do. "Beasts is talking with scent, sound, movements, all together," she tried to explain.

She nodded like she got it. It was a little like how she understood machines, she decided. "Wolf, sorry. So you got to kinda speak his language to understand what he means, I guess? 'Cause I don't know what animals are sayin', usual-like."

Firekeeper nodded. "Wolves is taking care of me after human parents die, so I learn." Not that she really understood how that worked, when she really thought about it, lacking a proper ears and tail as she did.

Kaylee tilted her head. "...you was actually raised by wolves? Shiny!"

She thought those were just stories.

"Was," Firekeeper confirmed. "Shiny?" she repeated, puzzled. It's not that she didn't know what the word meant, just that she'd never heard it used as an exclamation before.

"Um. Great? Yay?" she tried. "Like cool, or somethin' that you think is interestin'."

"Sam explained cool," Firekeeper replied. "Said it was not meaning cold, but good. Humans is having so many words for things."

"It don't help that I'm from 'nother planet, an' the future t'boot," Kaylee said sympathetically.

"Am thinking my world is not the same as most," Firekeeper offered. "Nobody is recognizing names of Hawk Haven, or Liglim, so far."
