Room 406, early afternoon

Even though she'd only been gone a week Fandom time, Isabel was cleaning her room like it really had been left closed up for six months. Reorganizing drawers and closets, scouring the bathroom, dusting every available surface, meant she didn't have to think about last night's conversation, or the worried voicemails and emails from her parents she's avoiding answering. It meant she could pretend she wasn't woken up by nightmares this morning.

The door was open, the radio was blaring the Rolling Stones, and Isabel was on her hands and knees in the bathroom, attacking the grout with a toothbrush.

"Exactly."

There was a thud as a large fish slammed against the window, then slowly slid down. Isabel shrugged, "Case in point."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear a thing," Aeryn decides quickly.

"That's probably for the best," she said. "So where were you? Did you take a trip for the weekend?"

She nods. "John and I went to visit his father," she says. "It was better than I'd expected, actually."

"Really? That's great. I'm glad for you," she said sincerely.

"Things go right every once in a while," she says, just as sincerely.

"You guys deserve it," Isabel smiled. "I'm really glad I got back before you left."

"So am I," she says. "And luckily with enough time that it isn't one goodbye after another."

"After last Sunday? I think I'm going to drink myself into a stupor for the month of May," she sighed. "It's going to be hard to say good-bye. But still, you guys aren't going too far."

"And I think I'm going to try to stay a little longer than May. If they have two summer sessions, maybe stay for one," she says. "Have a little more time here, at least."

"Really?" Isabel asked, sounding rather pleased. "That would be nice."

"People keep leaving and coming back. I'd like some more time," she says with a little smile.

"I think it's Fandom's way of making up for things..." Thud! Another fish slid down the window. "Like that actually."

"That's a horrible sound after a while," Aeryn decides.

"We could always go make the stop. But that would require getting wet. And possibly slimy." Isabel shrugged, "I say screw it and let them have their fun."

"I haven't heard screaming, so I assume everything's all right," she says, still resolutely not looking at the window.

"Yup. And if history is our guide, tomorrow morning everything will be back to normal. Just damp."

"I hope so. I've been putting off things I have to do until it drains, I'd really rather not have to wait longer," she says.

"Anything exciting?" Isabel asked. "And are you doing it after classes on Thursday? Because if you're not, Parker and I are going to the Theodoric's to get pampered and I was wondering if you'd want to go with us?"

"Probably tomorrow," she says, and frowns. "Theodoric's, that's the... spa thing?"

Re: NFB please...

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-03-12 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes, the spa," Isabel nodded. "But you wouldn't have to do anything you didn't want to. You could spend all afternoon sitting in the pool if you'd like."

Ordinarily she'd turn it down, but at the same time she spent an entire weekend in a place where she's not sure she was entirely normal. And if this is... "I suppose I could try it?" she says, and that wasn't supposed to sound like a question.

"Oh that would be great. It'll be nice to just hang out and relax. And maybe I'll even introduce you to Sven," Isabel offered. "He had magic hands."

Aeryn frowns. "I'm not sure I want to know about that."

[Lj, you whore.]

Isabel laughed. "He's the massage therapist. He hasn't met a knot in a muscle that he couldn't untie. I know I'm going to book a massage."

[omg yes...bitca!]
