Late October 2012: Leena's B&B

[timelessinventor]

Helena has been working on something. She has a notebook, and she's been writing while curled up on the couch.

She'll never truly understand ballpoint pens, but Joshua found a fountain pen for her with ink cartridges, so she can finally feel like she's writing again. It's a lovely feeling.

Once she's upstairs, Helena laughs. "Well, there's that cat out of the bag. Better now than during a crisis, perhaps."

Joshua laughs. "Yeah, it is probably better that way. At least she got her shouting at me done now."

[timelessinventor]

"Indeed she did. Did you expect her to do anything less, give your history?" Though she will admit, the circumstances allowed it to be more cheerful shouting than it might otherwise have been.

"No, I really didn't." He shakes his head and falls silent. Sometimes he just likes being with Helena, even if they don't talk much.

After some time, Helena looks up from her writing and sees that Joshua's fallen asleep. It's probably just as well that he sleep down here and not aggravate his ankle (and in any case, since she knows where he is and that he's not affected by anything, she'll sleep soundly enough); she pulls a blanket off the back of the couch, tucks him in, and heads upstairs herself.
