Thread: The New Reality (Kiari03 & PatricioINTP)

Roslyn smiled happily, mouthing a thank you to Patrick for allowing Timmy-Tom to come along. It wasn't that she particularly liked Timmy-Tom, but she didn't hate him enough to leave him here all alone either. Taking the her seat, she picked up the food container and lifted the lid a little to just smell the food. She wouldn't eat it until it was confirmed to be hers, but she had a good idea it was anyway. She listened to their little exchange with interest busting out with laughter as Patrick slammed the wheel with his hands in frustration. Oh yeah..alliteration. I learned that in high school, but I can't say I have used it since. Good to know someone has though She said in between stifled giggles. It didn't take Roslyn half a minute to start digging into the scrambled eggs after he told her that it was for her. After she finished the contents of the food container while listening to Patrick she was still hungry, but not starving. A cabin huh? Sounds good. She commented with a shrug, figuring there couldn't be anything too out of the ordinary for him to have a cabin nearby. After all, he was a scientist making a billion dollar product. Surely he had money. Thank you Patrick, for all of your kindness. The eggs were delicious and now you are taking me to your home. I'll have to find a way to repay you someday. She said a little shyly as she watched him driving. Something seemed off about him. He was nervous and on edge. Of course, why shouldn't he be? Their country was just attacked, he was shot at, and is now being forced to interact with a man that he didn't like. I would be edgy too.. She thought to herself as she placed a hand on his arm, It's ok. Calm down... She said just loud enough for him as he parked the car. In truth, she knew everything wasn't ok, but she felt the need to comfort him now. Getting out of the Jeep with the container in hand she took a look at the two story cabin and gave a broad smile. It looked very nice, quiet, and simply perfect for their needs right now. Any alcohol you have in your house, hide it. Roslyn warned Patrick in a hushed whisper as they walked up to the door. The first place that Roslyn went to was the kitchen to wash the container he had let her use and then she proceeded to look around the house. The first thing that caught her attention was the TV. She immediately tried to turn it on to hopefully find out what had and was happening right now in the city. However, to her frustration, all she received was static. Roslyn sighed, Capable is out. before she immediately tried the computer to find that she couldn't get a wireless signal. Everything that could inform her of what was happening outside of this cabin wasn't working. Damn it... She cursed under her breath as she went to look around the rest of the house. She found the master bedroom where she spied the sleeping kitty, the restroom with a nice sized bath, and then the stairs that led to the single bedroom on the second floor. Until now, she hadn't been able to find a window facing north and she was hopeful she might find one there. She wanted to at least see the city, if she could. And so coming quickly up the stairs, she found to her disappointment that the room was empty with the exception of a mattress leaning up against the wall. It never occurred to her to move the mattress, because who would place a mattress over a window? Besides, it wasn't her house. She had permission to stay, but she didn't want to start moving things around and risk losing that permission by breaking something either. So, she simply walked back down the stairs to join the guys and to see what they were doing. Patrick, I know it is a bit much to ask, but do you have some clothes that I can borrow? I like sweats...but...well.. She covered her chest with her arms to keep her nipples from being visible. She could really use a long sleeved shirt. Feeling awkward that Timmy-Tom was hearing her at that moment, she quickly changed the subject and turned her body away from them as her face turned red, How about I make us something to eat? Patrick, can you help me out? She asked pleadingly, hoping he would understand.
