Belrun is so close to getting this damned flu strain to calm down in this one egg. She copies the change across to a few more eggs' worth, iterates, writes everything down, and Fetches the egg that is getting scary into her pot of simmering water before it makes a break for it. It's getting on toward dark and if she keeps working she's going to have to do it by candlelight, and she doesn't like that - it's already too easy to bump into things when she can see them. She calls it a day and closes up the lab for the night and heads out to walk over to the university cafeteria. It's a nice evening, and it's Flatbread Night, and she's in a generally good mood.

Leareth bursts out laughing. :Very good! That was much easier than I expected, actually.

It looks pretty snug; she's barely squeezing out anything at him, let alone the neighbors. :It's tricky!:

:I think: :keep going back to: :shielded, and you're not: :everything I send?:
the-final-accounting
:One two three four five six seven eight nine ten: Leareth decides against skipping one just to tease her.
the-final-accounting
:Eleven twelve thirteen...: Leareth can count all the way to fifty or until whenever Belrun tells him to shut up, whichever happens first.
the-final-accounting
:Excellent! Would you like to count to me, now, so I can check all of yours is coming across?:
the-final-accounting
:I got everything. It is a little uneven but practice will help there as well. You really do prefer to be shielded as much as possible all the time. Mindspeech is worth it, though, because: he pulls her into kiss her, :now we can still talk. If we wish to:
