Demeter hasn't shifted back to her Winter form since talking to the younger Ramon.

Its always odd to her how much he makes her miss her brothers for all their foolish and troublesome ways.

So she's reading a version of the Iliad that most people don't know about as she sits in front of the fire.

Urquhart is still rolled up on a couch, reading books about Loch Ness. He has a stack of them, and has been at it all day.

Urquhart being who he is, he is neither maudlin nor homesick. He is just very interested, and still quite amuse that people believe there's a monster in the lake at home.

He does keep looking at the lovely golden-haired woman from time to time.

Demeter occasionally laughs as she reads, sometimes the old stories are rather charming in what they do get right.

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart might find that her laugh distracts him from his book more and more.

He is sure there is no monster in his lake at home. But there is a lovely woman in the next chair, which seems much more important than any monsters.

She looks over to him with a grin, she remembers him,

"Oh hello."

[fiery_ring]

Carlotta drops down next to her.

"Hallo. You changed."

[wheatencrown]

"Yes, there was a younger Ramon about and I felt like it to show him that I was more than he expected."

[fiery_ring]

"Ramon? The guy who murdered Doc?"

[wheatencrown]

"A younger version of him, yes, he's still a dangerous and arrogant man and reminds me of my brothers."

Nearby, Chandler is pretending to do some MadLibs whilst drinking coffee. In actuality, he's more than a little lonely, and trying to figure out who in Milliways is least likely to reject him outright.

So far, everyone he's spotted is so far out of his league, they're not even playing the same sport. So, he just continues to pretend to do his MadLibs.

[wheatencrown]

Demeter doesn't actually know a lot about MadLibs and notices them and Chandler when she looks up,

"Hello, Chandler. What are you working on?"

[pickyourmoments]

He jumps slightly at the voice.

"I, uh..." He laughs nervously. "Do I know you?"

[wheatencrown]

"Yes, its Demeter. I hope I didn't startle you."

Could be Ben notices her, slippin' in from outside, reeks like smoke but 'least he ain't as dirty as other times she's seen him. But even if he does, he don't recognize her, not exactly, just figures she reminds him of someone and sits down near enough to sneak glances over his shoulder between sips of coffee.

He looks - tired, real tired, like he ain't slept in an age.

[wheatencrown]

Demeter notices him, because like Gaeta, he's one of hers,

"When did you last sleep, dear?"

[til_it_aint]

Takes him a second to realize she's talkin' t'him, and his brow furrows. "I know you, lady?" he asks, not botherin' to answer the question 'cause she's just some stranger -

'cept somethin' about her is familiar. Real familiar, and maybe, if he thought about it, he could pin it down.

[wheatencrown]

"Yes, its Demeter. Now tell me what's worrying you."

She's turned towards him and the book she was reading is slipped away.
