[ upstairs in milliways, a few days after this ]
As soon as Kate's eyes open in the early morning light, she automatically rolls over and reaches out a hand.

The forehead beneath her touch is almost cool. No longer sweaty or feverish or clammy. Back to normal.

FinallyShe stifles a sigh of relief and props herself on one elbow, smiling down at Boo

Boo is a toddler, which means that she is up before whoever she is currently in the care of. Toddlers are very talented in this respect.

She's playing with the teddy Bar gave her a few days ago, babbling to it happily. She grins at Kate when she's addressed.

"Ikit!" She shows her the teddy. It doesn't look any different than it did when she went to sleep but Boo feels the need to show it to her anyway.

Yay toddlers?

Talented is the watchword; Boo's been awake before Kate every morning except one so far, and Kate's something of an early riser.

"I see," she half-yawns, still smiling. It's a great bear, if a little blurry at the moment.

Boo grins and snuggles close to Kate before continuing her play.

The bear uses a scary voice! OOO SCARY.

Kate chuckles but makes an appropriately wide-eyed, open-mouthed Face of Alarm before ducking beneath the comforter.

Clearly, she's terrified.
