Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

A week that had included library duty, a night out at Caritas, movies with a friend, exams, and plotting a rescue mission meant that Isabel was pretty damn tired when she went to bed on Friday night. Unfortunately the conversation with Rikku brought memories and Isabel didn't actually get into a deep sleep until some time just before dawn. She slept till noon when the sound of yelling and chaos in the hallways woke her.

A quick look out her door found Isabel shutting it quickly. Beyond grateful to whatever quirk of Fandom left her still eighteen, she decided an afternoon with a good book was much better then weetiny chaos.

After a quiet afternoon, Isabel finally got out her camera and opened her door.

He snuggled against her hand and closed his eyes. "Uh huh."

She opened the book and softly started to read. "The sun has set, not long ago. Now everybody goes below. Too take a bath in one big tub. With soap all over, scrub, scrub, scrub."

"Did that already," he mumbled, curling closer to her. "What comes next?"

"They hang their towels on the wall, and find pajamas big and small. With some on top and some beneath, they brush and brush and brush their teeth," Isabel read. "And when the moon is on the rise, they all go up to excercise. Then down once more, but not so fast. They're on their way to bed at last."

"I'm in bed," he pointed out, yawning hugely. "Just like them."

"Yes you are," she agreed. "Now you need to go to sleep. Close your eyes and let me finish."

"Kay." He closed his eyes again and listened really hard, almost asleep.

"The moon is high. The sea is deep. They rock and rock and rock to sleep," Isabel finished in a whisper.

Jack let out a long sigh. "Love you," he mumbled and then he was asleep.

"Love you to sweetie," she said, tucking the covers around him before leaning down and kissing his forehead.

Isabel got to her feet, intending to get herself ready for bed, when suddenly she remembered something.
