DJ Roomba was cranking out to tunes, though Hardison had left the soft serve machine at home, making this officially a 'roughing it' camping trip. Not that Eliot would necessarily agree (there was still electricity because Hardison was many things, but a goddamn savage wasn't one of them), but was it really a date if the two of them didn't bicker about something pointless while Parker looked on and offered commentary?

No. No it was not.

Originally, Hardison had planned to pitch the tent up in the woods, but something about them had been...off-putting. So instead he'd spent the morning setting up here on the shore, including hammering a 'No Suits Allowed' sign next to the water to encourage skinny dipping by his sexy, sexy partners. Steaks were resting in Eliot's signature marinade, other stuff had been peeled and chopped, the all-natural, hickory-chip grill was gently glowing red.

Aww yeah, he done good.

[For the crew!]

"Would you look at that," Eliot said, taking in the whole set up. "You're almost camping."

"If there's a robot vacuum cleaner, it ain't camping," Eliot said. He could allow some electricity, but he drew the completely imaginary line at robots.

“It’s a robot vacuum cleaner with an ipod strapped on top. I know you have real friends.”

“Taping a knife to a roomba doesn’t make it a knife fighter!”

“No,” Eliot said. “It doesn’t.”

He had actual battle scars, thanks. Many of them from knife fights.

"That's nice. But wandering around bumping into things with a knife is not a knife fight."

How did Eliot end up in love with a guy dumb enough to get cut by a knife he taped to a roomba himself? How had this possibly happened?

"Just -- stop arming the robots, okay? Ain't there, like, several dozen sci-fi stories telling you that's a bad idea?"

Eliot opened his mouth to respond to that, then gave up, threw his hands in the air, and went stomping off to start the campfire.

How was this his life.

Very very good! Parker was contemplating a swim, one full hour after eating. You never knew what would happen if you broke that rule. "I brought extra chocolate in case we run out making s'mores."

She had her priorities.

"And then climb back up again," Parker said, very pleased. "You are the best Logistics Guy. As always." Mischievously she added, "You can jump off with me, too."

"Made funny noises when we dropped off towers," Parker offered, then leaned in for a kiss. "And! Gotten so much better at it, they're just squeaky noises now."

"We'd have to practice some more," Parker said seriously. "Also, there would be cuddling on the way down." Just as motivation, you know?

Hmmmmmmmmmm. "Acceptable." Parker nodded, tiny smile lurking as she poked at one of his biceps. "This time."

It was gonna happen sometime, Hardison.

"What if there's an amok Alot that we need to distract?"

That would be a Yes, Eliot.

“You’re basically inviting over an alot of chocolate here, darlin’. And then you’re just gonna yell at me when I gotta fight it.”

From: [personal profile] whoisalicewhite
"You don't *have* to fight it. We could just invite it to stay."

Parker couldn't make up her mind if she'd want to cuddle an Alot of chocolate, or trap it and lick it to death.

"Yeah, until it turns into an alot of aggression because you refuse to share."

whoisalicewhite: (Eliot is fed up with me)
From: [personal profile] whoisalicewhite
"I'm... getting better at that?" Really, Eliot. "And maybe it would catch the aggression from you, and not me. Since you're better at sharing feelings."

"I'm not aggressive," Eliot protested. "Not, like, needlessly so, anyway."
