[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?]

[Wait, she recognizes who that is coming at her, and woah, it's a good thing he's not a big dog.]

Alby, what are you doing here? [She pauses for a moment.] Is Jr with you?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Right. You better wait here until he catches up.

[As she's speaking, she going to be pulling a plastic plate out of a bag sitting beside her and scooping some stew onto it. She'll be placing it on the ground for Alby.]

Here Alby. There's more then enough, so you're welcome to some of it.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*And Jr.'s finally catching up, probably inwardly cursing his short legs.* Alby! *And then he actually looks where he's going.* Jenny!

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[She hears Jr and turns her head to give him a bit of an awkward smile. Sure, she had done enough thinking to answer all the questions jumping around in her mind, and she was ready to talk to and see Jr again, but that didn't mean it was going to be easy for her. Especially since she'd been avoiding him for a few days.]

Seems like Alby caught the scent of the stew I was cooking.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Have an awkward smile from him, too.* Guess that explains why he went running off like that.

*He glances at the ground next to Jenny, but doesn't say anything yet.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

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...
