[If anyone is anywhere near the mountains today, they'll probably notice a not so perky blond sitting next to a fire, and cleaning her daggers. A pot filled with what smells like some sort of stew is hanging over the fire. And yes, it smells really good. Anyone up for poking someone that's camping out?]

Would you like some?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds great. Mind if I sit down?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Go ahead.

[She goes to grab another plastic plate and scoops some stew into it, handing both the plate and a spork to Jr.]

It's been a few days, hasn't it?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He sits down next to Jenny with the plate and, for once, scoops the food onto the spork and just holds it there instead of digging in.* Yeah. I've really missed you.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a somewhat sad look.] I really missed you too. The decision not to stay on my own for a few days was difficult to make, but it was something I had to do in order to figure everything out.

I'm sorry...for leaving like that.

[She starts petting Alby a little.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He shakes his head.* It was for the best. I'm sure things would've gotten even worse with you and Albedo both there.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably. But really the whole point of leaving was for me to think things through, and I think I've finally made a decision.

[She takes a deep breath before continuing.]

Albedo and I may never get along you know. Odds are, there will be constant fights between the two of us. Some of them vocal. Some of them, not so much, and I understand why. But...I suppose he's just going to have to get used to me, because I'm not going anywhere. I love you, Jr. That's not going to change, and if Albedo doesn't like it, then that's just too bad.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*He smiles slightly and his wings even flutter a bit.* Yeah, I know there's a good chance he'll never learn to accept the way things are. I'm glad you're staying, though. I don't think I'd ever get used to it if you lived somewhere else. *Scooting a bit closer now and yes, he is bringing his plate.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I think I've just far too used to living in that house to leave anyway, you know.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it'd just be weird if you weren't there.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Have you been taking care of yourself while I've been gone?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah...for the most part...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[Raises an eyebrow at him and folds her arms across her chest.]

What exactly did you eat while I was gone?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't always feel up to cooking when I was hungry, so I stopped by the Azzip sometimes, or the Seventh Heaven...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

You haven't really been taking too much care of yourself at all, have you?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*His wings twitch nervously.* I did for the first few days...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

You blew it after that though, didn't you?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

I didn't really feel like cooking and wasn't usually hungry around dinner anyway...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I don't mind whether you cooked or not. What I wanted to know was if you ate healthy while I was gone. And no, pizza does not count as healthy.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

The stuff at the Seventh Heaven was healthy...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Then you won't mind telling me what you had.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Depended on what I felt like...mostly curry.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She sighs.]

Jr, curry doesn't count as healthy.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Yeah it does.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'm listening. How is curry healthy?
