"Sounds about right," he says.

"I'll get to writing this up, then, and try to think soulless thoughts."

"Sounds good. Should I be distracting you the whole time for extra verisimilitude, or would you counterfactually have told me to shoo while you wrote your note?"

"Would you stay shooed if I took too long on the note?" she wonders, amused.

"Depends how seriously I was shooed."

"Probably not very seriously."

"Then you might have a distraction for part of this note-writing process."

She giggles, then picks up her pen and starts writing.

"Do I get a hint for how long I have?" she wonders.

"Hmm... as long as it takes me to complete whatever minor chores in need of doing I can detect around this house." He looks around for things in need of tidying or similar.

There are a few things! But not that many, this house is kept pretty clean.

(Write write write.)

So he can only occupy himself this way for a few minutes before he ends up orbiting back to Yvette and kissing her on the cheek. "How's the note coming along?"

She smiles fondly at him, then focuses back on the note.

"It's coming along okay, I'm trying not to overthink it."

"Reasonable."

He leans against a table and smiles at her.

Well that's just distracting.

She takes it as a challenge, smiles slyly, and then attempts to pointedly ignore him while writing her note.

He comes over and hugs her. And kisses her on the cheek again.

She giggles a little and leans into him, but otherwise focuses on the note. ... And adds an affectionate aside in the note about how someone's bored.

Giggle. Hug. Nuzzle.

You know, actually, she's pretty sure this is the optimal way to write notes. While being hugged by Miles. Pity about all of those other people that don't have access to one. Sucks to be them. Snuggle, write.

"There," she says. "Done. I think it's pretty convincing."

"Excellent. Off to the Slayer's house with all your stuff?"

"Yep!" Pause. "... We'd probably let Zeke know we were running away together to Tibet and other assorted places, wouldn't we. Since he found you and you're involved with him."

"Hmm... yeah, probably. Should I go lie to him for you after you and your stuff are safely with the Slayer?"

"Yeah, sounds good."

"All right, will do."

To the Slayer's place!

Yes, all of Yvette's stuff in tow.

Yvette knocks.

The Slayer answers the door.

"I see you brought a friend," she says. "Hi, I'm Liesel."
