Room 238, Wednesday morning

[can_be_more]

Aeryn would normally be up by now, already dealing with breakfast or the like. She's awake, but for some reason today she's content to stay right where she is, at least for a little while longer. She blames the warm bed and still adjusting back from Bettina's weird schedule this weekend.

"I'll lift his restriction."

[can_be_more]

She rolls onto her side to look at him directly and says, "They put a hole in a wall."

"It can be fixed," he says, blinking sleepily at her. "He needs friends."

[can_be_more]

"We can always get him one of those self-moving vacuums to play with." At least roombas won't put holes in walls.

Bertram bleeps loudly at her and zaps her side of the bed.

[can_be_more]

"Behave," she tells him.

"I think he wants a real fried, not a vacuum."

[can_be_more]

"What's wrong with a vacuum?" asks Aeryn, who might have no idea that the things she's seen on TV aren't sentient.

"They're not alive," he says. "If one of us isn't here to turn it on, it won't work."

She frowns again, and sighs. "You're dealing with the next disaster they might cause."

"Fine," he says and yawns again.

[can_be_more]

Aeryn goes quiet at that, resting her head against his shoulder.

"Still tired?"

[can_be_more]

"Less so," she says. "Just comfortable."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Your bed isn't comfortable?" he asks.

[can_be_more]

She looks up at him and repeats, "My bed?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You were there all weekend," he says.

[can_be_more]

She shrugs the shoulder she's not laying on. "It's a bed. I'm just not used to it."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You like my bed better," he says, teasing.

[can_be_more]

"Well, it's bigger," she smiles.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"And better."

[can_be_more]

"Sturdier."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Better," he says again.

[can_be_more]

"It's a bed," she repeats. He's really what makes it comfortable, but she's not sappy enough to say it.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"A better bed."
