You know, sometimes I wonder what I’d be doing, or rather will be doing, back home. ...If we manage to fix the universe in time. [Dairine is quiet for a moment, mulling over that thought. What if the universe gets pulled apart while she's gone? What if she returns to find her planet uninhabitable? Dairine shakes her head.] Well, no point getting caught up in the "what ifs" while I'm here.

Though I do wonder how far along Neets and Kit would be on their Mars project.

[She snickers.]

Bet Neets'll get super jealous if Kit actually finds that Martian princess.

[ Friends who were given children last week ]

[There’s a moment’s pause as Dairine tries to find something adequate to say, but in the end she can’t think of anything good enough.]

How are you holding up?

[ Peeta, Rue, and Katniss ]

So I will probably be out for the next three days. My journal will be with me, so if anything happens, just give a yell and I’ll be back before you know it.

You’re still free to use my room while I'm gone. Just don't root through my stuff, OK?

[Out in the lobby, Dairine is working on her wizard manual. Of course to the ordinary observer it just looks like a girl reading something on her notebook computer. The biteless apple logo serves as the only visible clue that something strange is amiss.]

{There's just a sudden feeling on the air after her filter, something like the way a contented sigh might feel. The long inhale, the even longer exhale. What-ifs are all people ever seem to get caught up on, sometimes.]

Dairine

[fly_little_bird]

Where are you going?

friends with children filter

[inafadingcrown]

As well as may be expected. [Though she does sound a bit more tired than usual.] Thank you, dear one.

Dairine

[valuedstrength]

I'm okay.

Dairine; placeholder till I get back from vacation

[peeta_bread]

Thanks, Dairine. So, what's up? Where are you going?

Dairine; placeholder because I cannot resist your CR

[A sigh.] Well enough. And you?

Rue

[wizard_redfive]

An old tower, a few days northeast of here.

Peeta; have fuuun

[wizard_redfive]

I'm going on a group trip to some old tower ruins. Gonna practice a couple spells, see if they work the way we want.

Chaucer; >/////<

[wizard_redfive]

I'm fine. Bit busy, but fine.

How is Bucky doing? [Please tell her that he isn't drowning his sorrows on the roof. Again.]

Dairine

[fly_little_bird]

Why are you leaving?

Steve

[wizard_redfive]

Glad to hear it. [Though she isn't fully convinced.]

Dairine

[valuedstrength]

How are you?

Rue - I thought I replied to this one...

[wizard_redfive]

A group is gonna test defensive strategies out there. I'm going with them.

Dairine - ... you did, I got the notif /eyebrow

[fly_little_bird]

Oh, okay. You be careful, okay? I hope you learn a lot of good stuff.

Rue - huh. -stares at computer-

[wizard_redfive]

I will. You take care too, alright? Try not to get into too much trouble.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine picks up on that feeling and the sheer presence behind it. She doesn't even bother glancing around, already 99% certain of the source.

Well, well. Contact on her first try.]

Steve - Sorry about the lateness!

[wizard_redfive]

Not bad. It's not like I had a kid to deal with. [Mostly she's just worrying herself sick over you guys.]

filter forever - sorry for being late ;;

[wizard_redfive]

[Huhwaitwhat? Why is Galadriel answering this? Unless–]

Galadriel, I didn't realize you had a child!

[Oh crud, that was insensitive. She just had to run her mouth, didn't she?]

Uhh, that is... I mean... [Hiding in shaaame]

Dairine

[valuedstrength]

... Lysandra was a good girl. It wasn't any trouble.

<3

[inafadingcrown]

It is quite alright. [Insensitive, perhaps, but not enough to trouble her more than she already is.] It was my Finrod's second year with me.
