Platypus Living Room - Evening

[izzyalienqueen]

The number of candles Isabel had burning to light up the living room would probably make a fire marshall nervous but she wasn't about to put them out.

Her laptop battery had run down, so she settled for sitting on the floor and playing solitare the old fashioned way. With a deck of cards.

"Yeah," he said and winced inwardly. "It'll get better. And I am tired."

"Okay. I'll check and make sure you're all tucked later on," Isabel smiled. "It wouldn't be the first time. Good night Cedric."

"Good night," he said and mustered up a smile before disappearing into his alcove.

Isabel watched him leave then pulled her legs up and rested her chin on her knees, wishing yet again that people didn't have to leave.

At some point well after midnight, the power came back on. Isabel blew out the candles, checked on Cedric, then went to her alcove, and turned on the star-light. She stretched out on her bed and was asleep within minutes.
