"Welcome! Do you want a tour?"

"Yes please!"

And he shows her around all the living quarters and common spaces of Elysium II. It's spacious and there is a little garden courtyard in the middle under bright lights in addition to hydroponics like the ones in the first version. Things that do not strictly need to be made out of wood and marble and abalone are made out of wood and marble and abalone anyway.

It's really pretty! She compliments most of the things they come across, at least until it occurs to her that maybe this is annoying (at which point she only compliments the things that are really nice, which is still a fair number of things). She thinks that everyone is really going to like living here, assuming they can be convinced that it isn't rigged to explode or anything. Her nephew's going to like the courtyard.

"I'm glad you like it."

"I really do! Thank you so much for making it. Uh. It's going to be several more hours before the download is done, do you need to - I guess given that you made the place you're probably capable of finding a place to sleep?"

"If nobody's going to mind me crashing in an apartment, sure can. You should know where to find me in case something comes up, walk with me?" He turns back toward the apartments.

She cheerfully follows him back.

He facetiously knocks on a door, then lets himself in. "I'll nap here. I'd sooner you didn't dismiss me in my sleep, I won't be able to tell the difference between that and you having died and I'd spend a while doing forensics on it."

Awww, that's - not actually sweeter than saving everyone's lives, it's not like she was actually in doubt about whether he cared at all about whether they lived or died, but she thinks it's kind of sweet all the same.

"I have no plans to dismiss you until after I know how to get you back."

"Thanks, Kalia." And strolls into the apartment and into a bedroom, onto which he plops.

"Goodnight, Cam." 

She goes back to her new room and unpacks her stuff. She makes an effort to sleep. She's not super good at sleeping when she's worrying that she might be making incredibly irresponsible decisions and playing into a demon's hand, but she makes an effort.

She makes waffles. Waffles are good when it's 4 AM and you can't sleep because your stomach keeps doing pointless backflips.

The waffles are griddy and crunchy and do not judge her for irresponsible demon summoning.

Good job, waffles. Their service is appreciated.

She reads her books and eats her waffles until the download comes through, then prints it out and goes to find Cam.

Asleep in bed with his wings splayed out on either side.

Ah. Reasonable. She'll just quietly leave and read a book in the next room until he wakes up on his own.

I'm up! What's news?

She immediately emails him back.

Download's done! I looked it over but I don't think I understand it all.

I can walk you through it if you want, assuming you trust me not to convince you that, I don't know, 'never re-order the words in this clause' and 'always work in English' actually means 'Latin has free word order, so actually...'

I think it's probably better to have the information than not. I'll be grateful for any help you can offer!

Not like she has to summon him again, even if she theoretically knows how.

You want to come here or should I come to you?

Oh, I'm already in the next room. Hope that's ok. Here's fine?

Out comes a demon.

She waves shyly.

"Good morning. Show me the SSA files?"
