Meerkat Cabin, Isabel's alcove, Wednesday Morning

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel hadn't slept well while she was gone. The long day of travel making her way back to Fandom didn't help either. After checking in with Parker, checking up on Cedric and then surprising Greg, she returned to her cabin beyond grateful that she has no workshops on Wednesday. She's sleeping in. Anyone who wakes her better have a damn good reason.

It's hard to hide from people when you share a cabin with them. After Cam had left, Jack'd snuck over to Meerkat, intending to hide in Izzy's alcove.

He slipped quietly through the curtains and stopped, staring in surprise at the sleeping Isabel, before crouching next to the bed.

Isabel shifted and pulled the blankets a little tighter. "Max you're an idiot," she muttered quietly.

Jack really didn't want to wake her up, but he was tired and he didn't want to go back to his cabin. And he was incredibly happy to see her.

He very gently touched her shoulder and called her name.

It took a minute for Isabel to wake up, but then she blinked sleepily and smiled. "Hi!"

"Hi." He smiled at her and rested his head on the edge of the bed. "When did you get back, and can I crash with you? Please?"

She reached out and ruffled his hair. "Last night and of course," Isabel said, sliding over to make room.

"Thank you." He curled up next to her on the bed, closing his eyes and resting his head against her shoulder. "I'm glad you're back, but I'm glad you were gone. There was bad things this weekend."

"I heard," she said, reaching to take hold of his hand. "Parker told me Jarod and Cedric got hurt. I stopped by to check on him last night. You must have been worried about him."

"They made us all go back to the dorms and he didn't come back. I thought he was dead." He squeezed her hand. "Sam and I sat in the lobby, waiting, and he never came home."

Okay, he might still be a little inebriated. And very tired.

Isabel can relate to waiting and picturing the worst. "But he's not. He's going to be fine and we're going to go rafting and have fun."

"I know." Jack pulled her hand against his chest, cuddling it, and sighed happily. "Both my thingies are going to come with us. And it's going to be fun. Plus, we have to steal Parker's shoes."

He yawned, and moved his head closer, so it was touching hers. "Tired, Izzy."

It took a moment for Isabel to figure out what Jack meant, then she smiled. "Sam's coming to? Good." She'd ask exactly what thingies meant later. Turning her head, she kissed his forehead. "Go to sleep Jack."

"Thanks." He sighed once, muttered thingies under his breath, and drifted off.

Isabel smiled and checked her watch. Deciding she was still tired, she closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
