Reading! Meeting people! Going out! Running! Singing! She has not ever been camp counselor (or to camp) before.

Huh. Well it's tough but it's pretty good.

Yeah she's been getting this impression.

And soon enough it's time to eat.

Hotdogs! With optional onions and ketchup and mustard and other assorted extras! In the cafeteria!

"Yum."

Eh, they're fine, she guesses.

And then after dinner they have that informal meet-and-greet thing that was mentioned earlier and Kaede gets to meet even more counselors!

Including the two others at their particular campsite: Julia and Kennedy.

The rest of the evening passes without too much ado, the night passes quietly, and the kids start arriving the next day.

When Kaede is a he.

"… You look different today."

"That I do."

"Intentionally?"

"I don't find myself in the habit of unintentionally changing my appearance."

"Is there, uh, any particular reason…?"

"Quirk of psychology and genetics, I expect."

"Right." Nod. "Okay."

"On a scale of one to ten, how much is it this going to be an obstacle to flirting?"

"… To you flirting with me?"

"Yeah."

"… Not a huge one? I'm not going to flip out or anything."

"I strive to better results than an absence of flipping out when I flirt."

"I wasn't sure what you meant by 'obstacle to flirting' and – was trying to provide truthful information in response."

"I meant to ask whether you are strictly heterosexual," he explains.

"… The answer to which is – nnnnno."

"Oh good then I shall continue."

"But I'm not sure if – the fact we'll be around kids all day might be a limitation."

"To flirting? It probably will," he admits.
