[She tosses the cookies to Break, before disappearing into the house for a few moments with Emily. When she comes back out, she immediately settles in the grass, beginning to stitch the doll up.]
Undertaker is helping me prepare a small apartment. Somewhere quiet.
I'd like it if I could still take meals here with you all. Days, weekends, even. But I think a quieter place to rest would be healthier, in the long run.
Katara, I do not make friends easily, or particularly comfortably. If you play the game where you make me push you to follow me, I'll fail. I won't be able to insist. But my door is open to you for a reason.
[The frankness startles her, but she smiles after a moment.]
It's not that. If it's open to me because you want me to visit -- then good. I will, and happily. I just don't want you to feel like you've got an obligation to us just because you've lived here.

.. can I sleep with you and Emily tonight? I promise I'll be quiet.

Date: 2011-08-18 03:02 am (UTC)I was hoping you'd help decorate the spare room. Since it's yours. Whenever you need a little peace and quiet yourself.
