Room 424, Friday

[notahostage]

Wendy's side of the room was packed up, she'd made sure certain photos would be delivered to Edmund when he got back, and sent anything that wouldn't fit in the car on ahead. She wasn't sure how exactly she'd explain acquiring as much stuff as she did while on a "short retreat in Nepal", but she'd manage.

[Wendy's going awaaaaaaaaaay. Open.]

Comments

"I think my brain's hurt enough," he said with a smile.

[notahostage]

"This place'll do that to you."

[momslilassassin]

"You know you'll miss it," he teased.

[notahostage]

"Of course I will," Wendy said. "Home doesn't have any adorable wee Jedi running around just some of shout outs."

[momslilassassin]

Ben blushed. "I'm not adorable."

[notahostage]

"You need a couple more years before I'll feel comfortable using anything else to describe you," Wendy said. "Especially when you blush."

[momslilassassin]

"I've changed my mind," he said with a tiny smile. "I won't miss you at all."

[notahostage]

Wendy sighed dramatically. "The youth of today, no respect."

The effect was ruined by her own smile.

[momslilassassin]

"I hear that a lot," Ben said. "Are you going to tell me to get off your lawn?"

[notahostage]

"Right after I get my walker out."

[momslilassassin]

"It's good to have lists," Ben said. "I hear that old people forget stuff unless it's written down."

[notahostage]

"Who are you again?"

[momslilassassin]

"My name is Ben," he said. "You're supposed to leave me huge sums of money as you go."

[notahostage]

"Right, just as soon as I remember where I left my wallet."

[momslilassassin]

"Over on the dresser," Ben made up.

[notahostage]

"Oh, that one over there?" Wendy asked, staggering over to it.

[momslilassassin]

"Yes, but don't end up in the closet again. It took five hours to get you out the last time," Ben said.

[notahostage]

"I can't help it, all these doors look alike."
