Room 405, Thursday evening

[itsjustlanguage]

Most of her things were already packed and sent ahead, but there were a few things that Hoshi left until the very end. So she was going around, checking the closet and under the bed, to make sure she had everything, like a certain beagle who did not want to go in his pet carrier

Raven was rapidly becoming worn out by goodbyes, but she wouldn't let Hoshi leave without one. "Who am I going to talk to about Rumor Gal now?" she pouted.

"You can always call me or email me on Monday nights, and we can talk about the latest episode," said Hoshi, giving Raven a smile. She straightened up and put the dog biscuit inside the pet carrier sitting on the bed.

"That will have to do," Raven said. "Though you will not be able to laugh at my flailing."

"Not unless you manage to set up a web cam," said Hoshi with a sigh. "I really wish I could stay. I know I'll be able to visit, but it just won't be the same."

Of course Annja was there to say goodbye.

"You are going to visit, right?"

[itsjustlanguage]

"Of course!" said Hoshi. "Who knows, I might come rushing back after a few days with my family. Besides, Joan and I are getting an apartment that's not too far from the causeway, so I might be visiting a lot."

"Oh good," Annja said with a smile and relief in her voice. "What did your father and your captain say about you staying so close to here?"

"After what he saw at graduation, my father was worried that living at home would be too boring for me," said Hoshi. "As for the captain, he and I don't talk much these days, but he wrote a nice letter of recommendation to help me get into a civilian linguistics program at university."
