[There have been some restless nights spent facing the direction of his bed, waiting for him to wake so their together cam begin. She pretends to conveniently stir when he does, but she's sure he suspects--or simply assumes--sleep is as difficult as it's ever been, for her.]
[ Her teasing helps them both, he thinks. It feels so normal, even under these bizarre circumstances. If Maelle stopped teasing him, he thinks he really might panic. ]
But how about before we dig into our list of things to do, we get some dinner, first? Shouldn't go adventuring on an empty stomach.

Dinner, treats, and a first round of the journal.
[ Which is going to be tough for both of them, but especially Maelle, so he adds: ]
