Aeryn doesn't have class on Wednesday, which is probably a bad thing, since she spent most of the day thinking way too hard about some of the things she'd heard last night. She's not one to panic, and if it's something John's been dealing with for this long, she knows there's no reason to freak out. Too much, at least ( Read more... )

Aeryn wakes up early, disentangling herself from John and getting up to get dressed. Yes, with clothes from the locker, shut up. For the record, she'd forgotten she had this shirt ( Read more... )

Aeryn leaves Isabel's room and heads back to 238, because she and John need to talk about it.

And wonders if she'll start forgetting she has the damn key when she actually has it. But for now she's still reflexively reaching for it and then giving up and knocking.

Aeryn lets John get some more sleep, and makes a phone call like she said she would. She's not sure if it'll do any good, but she's willing to try it. And hopes John is, too. At least maybe then they can find out of this chip actually exists or not.

And once John's awake again, Aeryn ends up listening for the knock a lot.

Aeryn did not sleep. Pretty much at all. One moment she was letting John go on about kids because it seemed to be keeping him calm, and the next they were finding out that in that other reality, he killed her.

John's reaction is what concerns her. They don't even know for a fact that there is anything in his head, but it doesn't seem to matter. ( Read more... )

After talking with Isabel in the gym, Aeryn heads back up to her room. She's been given something to think about, even though she doesn't even know how to broach the topic with John at the moment. Which is fine as he's currently in detention anyway. Besides, they have to see Zhaan first, and that's going to take a bit of preparation as it is. She ( Read more... )

Aeryn comes back from 209, closes the door, and hits it. Because it's the first thing she's been able to doJohn is losing it. Badly. And it's while it's hard to watch, it's harder to leave him to deal with it. She's used to being able to hit or shoot the problem. She doesn't even know what the problem is. She's not going to find out yet, either, ( Read more... )

Aeryn did sleep, though she woke up every time John moved. She has no idea what's happening, but knows enough to be Concerned. And if it wasn't for the fact that she knew Wednesday was John's busy day with classes, she'd be camped out here all day making sure nothing happened, or trying to talk him through whatever did happen ( Read more... )

Aeryn's not sure what to think after talking to John, but there's no possible way she can just say "Okay" and leave it at a phone call.

So as soon as she hangs up, she's headed down the hall, and forgoing forgetting the key this time. She goes straight for turning the doorknob.

Aeryn has to be at Criminal Justice class early, so she leaves 238 quietly with the intent on calling John to check up on him later. She knows it's hard to hear some things, so she shouldn't be too surprised by his reaction to it. His reaction just makes her even more glad that Scorpius is dead. She'll deal with the rest later ( Read more... )
