It isn't that Adam's bored. In their household, there is no bored any more.

It's more that he's-


okay. yes. he's bored. Without the writhing and squirming and squealing of small children, with nobody to hold or walk or look after-

he's bored.

Thom shrugs. "Or maybe I didn't fit -- it doesn't really matter now."

[last_adam]

"I guess not."



There's a pause, long and awkward.


"Have you lined up a place to stay?"

He grins: fierce, white.

"You don't really want to know how I'm going to arrange that stuff."

Thom shakes his head. "I need some secrets. Anyway, I'm not going anywhere right away."

Adam smiles once more, and it's something like relief. For Alanna, if nothing else.

"Suppose we ought to be getting you away from here soon, though."

"Yeah," says Thom. "Before the seasons change, please."

And they both wait for Alanna to open the door.
