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!!!]

"Yeah," she said darkly. "I'm sure."

Chris frowned a little, but let the subject drop.

"You're probably tired," he said. "I should let you get some rest. But come find me if you need anything."

"I will. Thanks Chris," she nodded with a small smile. "I appreciate it."

Chris went to hug her again before leaving.

Isabel didn't have any problem with that at all.
