Room 238, Thursday early afternoon

Aeryn's learned one really important lesson in the last year or so, namely that there is a big difference between random emo and dealing with the fallout of being under a lot of stress. And despite yesterday's talk, she's okay with taking some extra time to do her usual run around the preserve a second time. She'd had a lot of energy she just needed to burn off.

So she's in a better mood when she comes back to the room, though she's not sure how long that will last, if today's anything like yesterday.


[For John.]

"Okay," he says. "I'll be here."

John, on the other hand, has no idea what's going on. It's his perpetual state of confusion and he's beginning to hate that feeling.

He gets up in disgust, kicks at the blanket and stalks into the kitchen.

"Nope," he says, opening a bottle of water and grabbing a sandwich from the fridge.

"Semester's still new," he says absently, staring at the counter.

He winces a little at that. "Okay. I drew all over Bertram yesterday but he should still work."

After a small pause, he shakes his head. "I'd get in your way."

He half smiles and says, "I should stick around here."

"I don't have any other plans," he says. "I'd just like to stay here."

He scowls at himself and retreats back over to the couch.
