"...yeah, that. I could put some stuff here and—I don't know how you'd change channel so you probably wouldn't but we can figure out whether you like to watch anything in particular while I'm awake and then you can watch it?"

Permalink

"...that won't disturb you?"

Permalink

"Nah, I have earmuffs."

Permalink

"...if you won't mind? I- I'm fine without."

Permalink

"I won't mind. Lemme figure out a rig here—bathroom's over there," he says, pointing at a door.

Permalink

"Thank you!" And Nova will go and investigate the bathroom - providing the door is open of course.

Permalink

Door is in fact open!

The bathroom is big enough for two people to comfortably be in it at the same time without elbowing each other. There are a couple of flammable things—a mat and a towel—but a Glam copy quickly floats in to grab those away.

Permalink

He finds somewhere to settle, keeping himself as far away from potential water sources as possible.

Permalink

Might be hard, being a bathroom and all. Nothing's dripping, though, and Sadde returns with plastic bags. "Gonna cover the shower and sink with these so no water falls on you."

Permalink

He flickers briefly in confusion, and then brightens. "Thank you."

Permalink

"No problem! Okay now I need to find some cables to set this monitor up..." he says, mostly to himself, and returns to the other room in the apartment.

Permalink

He settles down and waits, flickering contently with those quiet crackling sounds.

Permalink

Sadde returns after a few minutes carrying a TV monitor connected to something in the main room. "So I should go to bed in half an hour but in the meantime we can browse through TV channels and find something you might like to watch?"

Permalink

He tilts briefly sideways. "Please?"

Permalink

"Okay!"

He puts the monitor down, returns to the other room to turn stuff on and brings a TV remote. Time for browsing!

Permalink

He seems to pay avid attention to the monitor, and brightens brilliantly when they encounter a nature documentary.

Permalink

Well there is a whole channel for those!

Permalink

Ooh. "Thank you, thank you!" he says again, and literally bounces, although he stops that pretty quickly once he realises he's doing it.

Permalink

Sadde giggles. "You're welcome! Now I'm going to sleep, if you need anything give a shout."

Permalink

He flickers up and down in a nod again. "I-" pauses, thinks. "...Sleep well?"

Permalink

"Thank you! I hope you have fun."

And off to bed he goes.

Permalink

Well, he'll spend the night contently watching documentaries, and also spend some time practising manifesting hands and feet - because that seems like a useful thing to be getting on with, and he can do that and watch the documentaries.

Permalink

Sadde lies in bed, content with a day of actual meaningful heroism.

...then he opens his eyes in terror as he realizes he's not ready to be a parent.

Permalink

But she eventually does manage to fall asleep and wake up.

Permalink

Nova is where she left him the night before, two hands manifested and twisting together, continuing to watch the TV.
