Emily sets it down on the desk with a handful of other small metal sculptures, presumably created in the same way. 

Permalink

A pair of small floating orbs, like yellow plasma globes, appear over the desk and clumsily attempt to pick the little sculpture up.

Permalink

Ooh! So that's what she can do. 

The little sculpture is primarily made of stainless steel; picking it up might be tricky but as long as there aren't any bizarre unlikely accidents involving the eyes she's not likely to damage it. 

Permalink

She doesn't seem to have much fine control over the orbs, but they stretch like taffy around the statue when she uses one to push it into the other, and shortly she's conveyed the statue over to the bed to have a closer look.

The kitten is very intent on its intended prey, possibly a pair of shoelaces. Its tail curls in the air above its haunch in a question mark shape, and tiny blunted claws extend from its forepaws. 

Permalink

That's really cute. She examines it from all angles, looking up regularly to check on Emily and Edie.

Permalink

Emily is grinning, clearly proud of her creation. Edie is smiling at her sister.

She puts it back, carefully, when she's done. [Pretty.]

[Thanks!]

[What happens now?]

Permalink

 

[Good question.]

Permalink

[Obviously we couldn't make kinds of arrangements while you were too unconscious to make any decisions. There are defaults but they don't really seem to apply.]

Permalink

 

Confusion.

Permalink

[--Like how we couldn't bring you to a hospital because they'd have called the institution.]

Permalink

Yeah, that's not the confusing part.

[Too unconscious-?] It sounds like they wanted to get her input on it, but that can't be right.

Permalink

[I'm not going to make unilateral life choices for someone who just escaped from an institution, that'd be horrible.]

Permalink

That is confusing, and more than a little overwhelming. She curls back up.

Permalink

--Okay.

[Are you thirsty? Hungry?]

Permalink

[Yeah.]

Permalink

Emily fetches the water cup.

Permalink

Do you know what happened to you?

Permalink

She doesn't seem to want to answer that.

Permalink

Well.

She can get a summary of how she recognized refeeding syndrome, laced with an undercurrent explanation of what that is that shouldn't especially register if she already knows. 

Permalink

This is also confusing, though she seems to follow the explanation itself just fine. [Okay.]
