[Edward is sitting outside under a tree, taping away at her computer. She's just poking around, seeing what's new on CastleNet.

She stops, pushing her goggles up to the top of her head and staring at the screen.]

[whispered] Rorschach.

[her face falls as she reads, thinking about the man who had taken such good care of her. The man who the castle had sent back home. The man she never got a chance to say goodbye to]

[York]

[sounding very sad] You're not going to leave Edward, are you?

Comments

[sadly] Edward misses Rorschach.

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

Oh.


I'm sorry. Would you like to do anything nice today?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Something nice?

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

Yes, something to make you feel a little better. I know it's cold but I could take you for some hot chocolate and cake?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[People suuure love giving this girl sugar. Her tone brightens]

Okay!

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

Alright, foyer in five minutes, I'll race you

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[without a word, she wishes her computer back to her room and ZOOOOOOMS to the lobby as fast as she can]

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[Mohinder arrives a few seconds after her, breathless and laughing.]

You win.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[does a few cartwheels to celebrate] YAAAAAAAY!

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[Mohinder chuckles and holds the door open for her]

Come along champion

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[smiles and dances out the door, singing]

Champion Edwaaard

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles and follows her at a more sedate pace.]

So Champion Edward shall we play a game?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

A game? [starts walking backwards, looking at Mohinder] What kinda game?

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[Smiles and walks forward leading her into the town]

Mmm just a simple one.

As we walk to the cafe, I want you to see if you can find more animals than me and more people too. But the people have to be wearing red. Pink doesn't count.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[salutes] Okay! [spends the walk racing in circles around Mohinder]

Oh look! There's one! And there's one! And a dog!

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[Surreptitiously places a red sticker on her back and teases as they walk]

I can still find one more than you.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[sneaky, sneaky, Mohinder!]

Noooo, Edward's good at this game!

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[Mohinder grins as they walk into the town.]

Hmmm I don't know, I'm very hard to beat.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[continues counting people as she goes, running circles around Mohinder]

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[Smiles as they get to the restaurant and he holds the door open for her.]

How many did you find?

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

Edward saw 23!

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, that's very good.

[Replies as he leads them to a table]

I saw 24 though.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

24? Where?

[drugged-chai.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and takes off ehr coat before showing her the sticker.] See? 24.

[jammin-with-ed.livejournal.com]

[laughs, peeling off the sticker and waving it at him]

No faaaaaiiiiiiir!
