Squirrel Cabin, early Friday evening

[walter_n_wires]

After getting back from his handwavy trip to the mainland, Walter just took a nap to let the drops the opthalmologist had put in his eyes wear off. Everything was too glaringly bright with his pupils dilated for him to want to go to the job fair or hang out outside. It wasn't as though he didn't know what he was doing for a living when he left

"Knock knock," Pip said as he entered Walter's alcove.

Walter turned Pup around to see Pip and nodded. "Hey. How's life for the Frenchman?"

[cyclopeanmerc]

"The Frenchman finds himself well and has discovered that, if nothing else, he is most definitely not going for a career in law enforcement."

Walter didn't find that surprising, but had to ask anyway, "And why is that?"

Having felt the heat already seeped into her skin upon waking up, Seras knew it was going to be one of those days.

She'd headed into town after her workshop and purchased copious amounts of the necessary supplies.

She made her way back to the cabin and rapped on the side of her fellow Englishperson's alcove.

"Popsicle?"

[walter_n_wires]

Pup jumped up and wagged at Seras while Walter nodded and held out a hand for a popsicle.

"This heat is inhuman."

Seras passed Walter the box and told him to help himself.

She bent over and scooped up Pup then settled down on the floor where it was marginally cooler.

"You're lucky," she said, "Your pet's got built in air-conditioning."

[walter_n_wires]

"And at least the cabins are air conditioned. If we were truly roughing it, I might lead a revolt against inhuman conditions."

Pup sniffed her chest for a second before putting his paws on her shoulders to try to lick her face.
