Room 406, afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

She'd needed last night, Isabel realized. After everything that had happened, she needed a night of being quiet and feeling safe.

Eventually she'd made it back to her room. After a shower, she'd called her mom, feigning surprise at the news of the destruction of the Meta-Chem, and quickly changing the subject to the cleaning supplies that were currently working busily around the room.

"I know mom," she said eventually. "Yes, we'll be out for dinner soon. I promise. Bye." Isabel hung up her phone and opened her laptop. Solitaire would be a good way to not think for the afternoon.

[Door closed, post is open! And I'm about to go AFK till about 7 EST. I'll grab pings when I get back. And I'm back!!!]

"You..." and without another word, Bridge is moving to hug Isabel tightly.

Isabel's gotten a lot of hugs today. And every one has made her felt just a little bit better. "I'm okay now. I promise."

"Good," Bridge says, reassured by Isabel voicing that despite the fact that he'd seen for *himself* that she was really all in one piece. "Just... good. Don't wanna lose you."

"I don't want to be lost," she agreed. "I was for a little while. But I'm okay now." Hearing Bridge say that she was herself had helped tremendously.
