Ari is settled against a tree on the lawn, a notebook in her lap.

Florian and Catlin are doubtless nearby, ready to ward off dire threats, and Ari is staring seemingly idly at the grass and the sky, and the ways people move in and out of the house.

She knows there's got to be a pattern here somewhere.

"Not as yet, but I'm still doing basework."

She looks away from the leaves and smiles at him. "How are you?"

"Been worse. The garden's turned out decently, and the hedgehogs are down to a reasonable number. How about you?"

"Gardens are good. You keep hedgehogs?"

She taps her notebook against her thigh and says, "I'm doing all right. I slept well. I miss my computers, though."
