"Also she's, like, at least like thirty years old? Probably more."

Permalink

"Huh."

Walk walk.

Follow follow.

And shortly, a bedroom. It's sort of repetitive but at least none of the furniture is food. Denice takes off her pack and flops facefirst on the nearest bed.

Permalink

...well, then.

"I'm Sadde, by the way," she introduces, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

Permalink

"Mm." She lays there for another second and then rolls onto her side to pull her legs onto the bed.

Permalink

Sadde closes her eyes and waits.

Permalink

An introduction doesn't seem to be forthcoming. After a minute she switches to the second bed and burrows under the covers.

Permalink

Sadde doesn't mind not having an introduction. She's just waiting for sleep, really.

Permalink

Denice doesn't have to wait.

Assuming nothing wakes her, she'll be out for three hours.

Permalink

—whispering—

Permalink

Yeah, she's awake. She doesn't move, though; what and where is that noise?

Permalink

Nowhere. Sadde seems asleep.

Permalink

...she'll just hang out here paying attention for a little while then. Something woke her.

Permalink

Nothing out of the ordinary, apparently.

Permalink

After forty minutes or so she lets herself fall asleep again.

Permalink

Nothing disturbs her this time.

Permalink

Oh good.

It's closer to four hours, then, when she wakes up again. Is Sadde still asleep?

Permalink

Mmhm.

Permalink

She'll let her sleep, then. She has something to eat and starts working on a route out while she waits.

Permalink

Now that she's paying attention to it... there is a certain sense in which some parts are less... chaotic... than others. Directions that are not really directions but which nonetheless are more directional than the other directions.

Permalink

Good, she'll aim for those, then - if there's a particularly unchaotic place she'll map a route to that, with an eye to checking lesser unchaotic places on the way.

Permalink

Sadde stirs and opens her eyes.

Permalink

She ignores her for a few seconds - mapping out a particularly twisty bit - and then nods a greeting and offers her another pastry.

Permalink

She accepts—and eats.
