the capture

[instar]

Bella is, uncharacteristically, home alone; Andi is over at Robin's, and Renée is visiting a friend of hers in the hospital, though she could be home relatively soon depending on how much the two get caught up in conversation.

Bella is memorizing the map of Phoenix.

Bella is back after about the same duration of time. She notes the empty bowl, then picks it up and carries it up the stairs to dump out and wash.

Trouble... sits. Quietly. It's no longer completely obvious who's in control; he doesn't look excessively nervous, but neither is he as relaxed as usual.

"Any other Animorphs business for tonight?"

[aeskhyne]

"Don't think so," says Trouble. Definitely in his own voice; Aspret uses it differently.

[instar]

"Okay. I suppose we can disperse, then."

[aeskhyne]

He looks at Bella. Then he looks away.

"See ya," he says.

[instar]

"Bye."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble clears out.

So do Ethan and Robin.
