If he tries to take the condoms away she will object! And then go into the bathroom to make a water balloon out of one of them.

...acceptable.

Hee hee plap the condom.

Okay. Will she also brush her teeth and stuff.

It will require some prompting but sure.

And then snuggly sleep.

Mm. Sounds good.

In the morning, she has achieved octopus-like levels of Cozy Snugs.

Okay, he'll give her a few minutes before he attempts to escape to the bathroom in case she'll wake up now that he's shifting like an awake person.

Okay fiiiiiine.

"Lucy? You verbal at the moment?"

She ignores him, so that’d be a no.

Okay, well, then she's going to be left alone in the room without an explanation while he goes to the bathroom. Maybe she will put on fresh clothes while he's out.

When he comes back she is wearing shorts and in the process of putting on a tank top because a note on her phone told her to.

He peeps through the door, then ducks back and shuts it again.

When he next opens the door she is wearing shirt and shorts but no bra and looking at yesterday’s shirt and his wrists with a contemplative expression.

He snorts slightly and hugs her and they can begin the Weird Guiding Dance down the stairs to the couch for the day.

The thing is, she remembers regretting tying the comfy thing up, she just can’t remember why. At any rate she leaves the shirt behind.

On the couch he will - actually, detour en route to the couch, Poptarts in the toaster first - work on blog posts!

Lucy will attempt to maneuver into a position where she can both hug and start setting up a jigsaw puzzle.

He'll cooperate with that, they can have the coffee table close to the sofa.

Excellent!

Her puzzle is a field of flowers with a windmill in the background. She sorts the pieces into top edge, bottom edge, side edges, and then by flower color or being a windmill part.

He will snap a picture of her doing this to send to her mom.

She sends a sparkle emoji back in response.

After a little while of this Lucy remembers that guiding means observation and that was why tying the Comfy Thing to the sofa was regrettable. Tying its wrist to hers…would probably be less regrettable, if she had done it, especially since she is now wearing a different shirt, but still better to have Not.

“Hello,” she says, because this is a way to communicate to observers that you are aware of them.
