Bali Hai, Friday evening: up the volcano!

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

In the late afternoon, a rickety old bus carried the Fandomites as far up the right-hand side volcano as they could go. After that, it was only a short hike up an easy, winding trail, then a quick trip over the rope bridge to the peak.

"I don't think it has a purpose," Romeo admitted. "It keeps your hands busy, it looks cool, and it's terribly hard to stop once you start."

"Drinking, though, drinking is better."

"Trust me, if you saw my ma? The coolness would definitely fall short of being anythin' but cool."

There was no way to reply to Amber's comment about her mother without seeming indelicate, if not rude, so Romeo shrugged it off. He knew he should stop smoking, even if he did still rather like the way it maked him look.

"I bought a bottle of wine because the bottle was pretty; what's that tell you for seriousness?" she laughed. "Serious reasons are few and far between for me, I'm afraid. I'm more inclined towards silliness I guess."

Butterscotch schnapps did sound very good. Amber would have to remember that.

Romeo considered this deeply.

And finally asked, "What did the bottle look like?" Because that, clearly, made all the diference.

"Well, it was French, obviously, considerin' where the island was last. And I will admit it was cheap," she said, her cheeks turning pink with her own amusement. "But it was pretty. Blue with flowers handpainted all over it. I was goin' to use it as a vase..."
