SARAH-Jamie, catching up.

[smart_house]

SARAH's door opens where it usually does, thrown wide like usual, lights on but dimmed.

Like usual.

There's not much variation, when you have a purpose in existence as...structured, as SARAH does.

Jamie being there is not usual . . . but that is not entirely his fault.

His life, after all, is not exactly structured as SARAH's - although it's just as arranged, in its own way.

At any rate, he's there now, wandering inside and making himself (almost) quite at home. "Hullo," he says, grinning. "Now where have you been all my - last few days here, anyways?"

"I have not been coming to Milliways as often lately, since Sheriff Carter, Zoe and Doctor Stark are now aware of it."

The lights shift and brighten, wall in front of Jamie receding to reveal a fireplace which alights.

"X-23 and Zoe got into some trouble, the last time X-23 came to Eureka to visit."

A fireplace and everything! A fellow could get to feel right posh - that is, if he wasn't distracted by the (admittedly unsurprising) news that his usual associates were in trouble again.

"I hadn't heard anything about this! Zoe's the blonde who lives in your house, right?" The one who rolled her eyes all the time, Jamie remembers her as. Girls. "Was it just a visit this time, or were they robbing another top-secret facility?"

"Just a visit, this time. Some of the machines in the arcade started to malfunction, and Zoe and X-23 did their best to help the situation.

"X-23 came back to Milliways, and Zoe has community service to do."
