Alluka had totally lost all track of time

Funnily enough, Mabel had lost track of time, too. It was like time was a hiccup on the road to bigger things, and while she was certain she'd been having a grand time of things in the interim, today just seemed to matter a little more than most. Alluka whispering her name (as she'd no doubt done hundreds of times in the past few weeks too) really just served to cement that.

"Yes?" Her face popped down from where she'd been sitting on her own bed, knitting a sweater for Waddles now that the weather was getting cooler. "What is it?"

At least they’d clearly been enjoying their mutual lost time? There was something pretty excellent about that!

“You’ve got to come and see,” Alluka said, already wriggling back under her bed. She took the time to grab her bunny to drag it under too. “I found something!”

A beat.

“And it’s not mine! Or yours! I don’t think! Maybe it’s yours!”

Which made this a true mystery, as far as Alluka was concerned, when it came to Mabel's thoughts on this matter.

"Well, I won't know until I find out," Mabel reasoned, setting down her knitting and scrambling to join Alluka under the bed. It was a squishy sort of fit for the both of them, but Mabel was determined, darnit. "Let's see this wonderful thing!"

And it wasn’t like Alluka minded Mabel being in her space, so it was okay. They’d make it work.

“Look!” she said, pointing. “It’s a.. bottle, I think?”

It... well. It was wrapped, but it most definitely had a bottle-ish sort of shape to it.

Alluka peered at it and blinked twice.

Was... was that another thing behind it? That wasn't supposed to be there!
