Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Tiny trolls had followed Isabel into her room when she returned from the library. Initially, she was grimly amused when Annie started chasing them about, but eventually she got annoyed and used her powers to grab them up in a chattering ball and send them out the door. With Annie distracted by a catnip laced toy, and the room finally quiet, Isabel sat down to focus on poll results as a way of distracting herself from any thoughts of dreams, or Vilandra.

The door is closed to keep out the trolls. But distractions would be more then welcome.

"I'm lucky that way," he sighed, kicking off his shoes. "How are you, honey?"

"I'm sleepy," Isabel admitted. A fact that was proven by the yawn she tried to smother. "Want to stay and be my teddy bear for the night?"

"I can do that," he said, cuddling her close. "Big day?"

"A bit, I worked library so that made it a long day," she explained. "And I didn't sleep that well last night, so that didn't help."

"Why not?" he asked, curling even closer protectively.

"I had a fight with Max this weekend, a bad one," Isabel replied. "I've just been trying to figure out how to fix things."

"What was it about?" he asked, brushing a little bit of hair off her face.

"Things I found out, about Antar, about who we were before and what happened to us," she said quietly. "Max was mad that I didn't tell him immediately." Isabel yawned again. "Can I explain more tomorrow? I really am tired."

"Go to sleep," he murmured, kissing her forehead. "We can talk tomorrow."

"Okay," Isabel whispered, reaching for his hand and closing her eyes. "Night. Love you."

"Love you too," he murmured, clasping her hand and holding her close.
