What a crazy weekend...

Right. So. Dolls are now plotting against me. One doll, anyway. How exactly it got the Nexus door open is beyond me. I don't really blame Raphael for wandering through, but I really wish he hadn't. At least not right then, when he did, because of course the first person he met was Jas (the fact I had to chase after him in a bathrobe didn't

Sasha offers Ali a soothing embrace. "After all he has done, you have every right to be angry with the captain, my love. It would not be wrong to leave him to his own devices, until and unless he properly appreciates you."

Moving to a happier topic, she muses, "I imagine the children might like that marmalade, with breakfast or tea."

Ali curls up in Sasha's arms, sighing tiredly. "I think we both know he's incapable of that."

But there are happier topics. "I think I'll make some tomorrow. It'll be a good home ec lesson for the goslings."

"They do enjoy home economics," Sasha agrees, her warmer hand stroking Ali's back.

"I think they enjoy eating. It's no bad thing." She relaxes a little, closing her eyes. "Thank you."

"They certainly enjoy eating your cuisine," she murmurs, continuing her ministrations.

She considers as she cuddles, answering after a moment, "perhaps not just for the food. We might make a class trip of it, so to speak."

"We'll have to take Sel, then. She can teach them about jazz, I can teach them about food, you can teach them about French and the history of the city..." She smiles, thinking. "When should we go?"

"That depends," her pale lady replies. "Would you prefer to wait for the school's next extended vacation, so they don't miss any math classes, or shall we make the visit as soon as we can make all the arrangements? For my part, I believe they are all doing well enough that a day or two's absence will make little mark on their grades."

"They don't get a day off until October, and I'm not sure a few days would be long enough. I mean, it seems a shame to go all that way and practically turn right around again, don't you think?"
