It's nighttime, and Fred is in her room. She's been reading for a few hours -- more than a few, really. She tends to get lost in her own world so easily that she'd barely realized that it was late ( Read more... )

...Until there's a quiet knock at the door...

Wes woke up a bit disoriented to find more than a day had passed. Apparently time in the bar could be a fluid thing at times. Something else worth studying perhaps.

But for the moment, his first thought was to come check in on Fred. There had been a distance lately, but the passing of a few days.... Well.

The knock doesn't precisely startle her, though it does cause her to lose her place in the book as she hurries to answer the door.

"Hey." she greets him warmly. "Come on in. Your timing is perfect, I was just wondering what you'd been up to."

He greets her back just as warmly, the recent distance forgotten for a moment at least.

Wes smiles. "Traveling through time, apparently. I seem to have lost a couple of days. Does that happen here usually?"

Fred shrugs.

"Don't ask me, I never knew what day it was back when I lived somewhere that obeyed most of the laws of physics. This place is weird in more ways than I can keep up with."

She picks her book up off the bed.

"I've just been reading. You know, you can get any book here? I bet the bar could give you those magical books that could be anything, except it wouldn't need to, because it can already give you anything. It makes it especially easy for those days when I just cannot deal with being down there with all the crazy."

Something about her is much more reminiscent of the way she'd been when she first got out of Pylea, but she doesn't notice it, herself. It's just how she deals with situations that defy logic. She retreats, without even knowing she's doing so.
