It occurs to me I've been a bit distracted lately, enough that the occurring part just got around to happening? And I'm probably not sharing anything most of you don't already know but it feels like I should go ahead and make it official --

If anyone going looking for me at the castle, I'm not living there anymore. I moved in with Wesley into his townhouse.

[ Jade doesn't know Fred at all, but that won't stop her from sounding happy for her. ]

Away from the castle, huh? That's sounding like a better and better idea.

It only took me four years. [Not that she minded. Fred could admit there was an appeal to the castle at times, even after everything she'd seen. But this, right now? It felt right] But you're right, it is the best thing for a lot of people.

[nukeoleptic]

[ -- hold on a moment. ]

You've lived in the castle for four years?

[fredless]

[She's used to that throwing people now. Heck, some days she can't believe it]

With a few months to spare, even.

[nukeoleptic]

Does it ever really feel like home?

[fredless]

Some days more than others. But yes, if you're lucky it can. Do you have anyone here from home?

[nukeoleptic]

Almost everyone, actually. It sounds like I'm... really lucky.

[fredless]

[She had 'almost everyone' too, once. So Fred knows what she's talking about]

You are. There's less to miss that way.

[nukeoleptic]

[ ow megan!!! :( ]

There's a lot to discover here, though. It seems like, at least.

:(:(

[fredless]

What've you found so far? [Fred remembers that initial excitement, the way it distracts from some of the harder truths] That you like, I mean.

[nukeoleptic]

--the food, hahahaha. I know that sounds sort of ridiculous, but we've been living off battleship rations and cake for years.

[fredless]

[Fred laughs]

It doesn't sound silly at all. I'm a bit of a fan of food myself.

[spongetastic]

Congratulations. You having a housewarming party?

[fredless]

You know, I don't think we ever really considered it. I mean, Wesley had one when he got the place and I...[She helped, then. Felt welcome even] I guess it already felt pretty warm.

[spongetastic]

Okay. I hope you like living there.

[fredless]

If anything I think Wesley should be the one complaining. I'm a bit of a blanket hog.

[spongetastic]

[he laughs at that] Then I'll send you guys an extra blanket for your housewarming gift.

[fredless]

I'm sure Wesley's feet will send you an appropriate thank you card.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Aren't you two just plain domestic?

[fredless]

Sounds like you might have something against that word.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Me? Never.

I think it's quaint.

[fredless]

And now I feel like a greeting card. Maybe even one of those that takes two stamps.
