Singita Boulders Lodge, South Africa, Monday [Morning and Early Afternoon]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

The sun rose over the lodge in a stunning display of colors though without the musical accompaniment at way too early in the morning, but everyone was up anyway, right? It was time for the very first game drive around the park, and an early start was necessary to see the animals at the watering holes.

Fortunately in a lodge this nice, coffee was provided.

Good morning, Fandom! It's only 63 degrees (or 17, if you're a local) as you wake up, so bring a jacket along with your hat, camera, water and binoculars (and all the sunscreen--trust us) on the drive, but it'll warm up to a comfortable 79 (or26) by midafternoon. Ready to see some lions?

"A challenge to what? See how long he can piss you off before you eat him in self defense?" Phone. Phone. Where was phone? "So I take it there should be meat in this hypothetical room service order."

"Bacon," Mitchell said. "Eggs."

"Bacon. Eggs. Right."

Oh, ridiculously expensive lodge, what?

"They... have ostrich eggs."

That was enough to make Mitchell deal with daylight again.

"Really?" he said. "Where have we wound up?"

"Africa, but I'm not sure that matters. I think half this menu is imported from as far away as they can legally import anything."

"I don't think I want to know how we're paying for this," Mitchell said, and sat up. "Now I do want to try the ostrich egg. How big d'you reckon it's going to be?"

Oh, Mitchell. "Please forgive me in advance for saying this, but that's what she said."

"You didn't have to," Mitchell said. He was going to pin that on sleepiness if he had to.

He slid an arm around Bo's waist because he was finally aware enough to do so. "Go on and order."

Tempted as she was to say "We'll have two of everything," when Room Service came on the line, Bo managed to keep it down to pancakes, (ostrich) eggs, bacon, and juice.

Then, after hanging up the phone, she remembered what she hadn't said. "By the way, hi."

Re: Suite 102 [Oct 8, 2012, Day]

"Hi," Mitchell echoed, pulling her back and depositing a kiss on her cheek.

Bo debated managing a little better than that in the kissing department, then went with morning breath, maybe not... and settled for managing a little better than that in the snuggling department.

Not that vampires or succubi ever snuggled.

"So what've you been up to besides filling your cupboards with bacon-loving ants?"

"Had to deal with this vampire kid called Adam," Mitchell muttered. "Glad that's done with."

Totally not snuggling Bo in a bed on vacation in Africa was much, much better than dealing with Adam.

"Vampire kid?" Bo repeated. "Like in the 'when a mommy vampire and a daddy vampire love each other very very much...' way, or..."

"Like he was a forty-six-year-old sixteen-year-old," Mitchell muttered, "and he'd clearly never had sex in his life."

Re: Suite 102 [Oct 8, 2012, Day]

[nookiepowered]

"....Well, that sucks."

Guess which part she meant, Mitchell. Just guess.

Re: Suite 102 [Oct 8, 2012, Day]

"I'm glad you weren't there," Mitchell said. Seriously, Adam would have been the worst pest ever. "He was disgusting."
