And not far behind her, Jonothon was returning to the island from New Gotham, having visited yesterday for her graduation party. The trip across the Causeway was always a little jarring, walking away from one city to Fandom, only to look behind to see Baltimore in its place.
He'd never get used to that, no.
But today, he wasn't looking back. Today he was looking forward, blinking at the familiar face, laughing with a familiar voice.
And so help him, he was cracking a bit of a smile around the corners of his eyes, himself.
//You know, most people wouldn't find the Causeway so amusing, luv.//
Now there was another feeling she'd almost forgotten, being talked to right in her head.
She looked over, a bit startled not only for the familiar face, but that it was also almost unfamiliar. She remembered him having a mouth, last she knew.
"I'm not most people," she said, trying to just casually shrug. Her grin betrayed her of being able to give any impression except that she was exceptionally pleased to see Jono. "In fact, I'm a dead woman." She winced, and shook her head. "Let's not get into that yet."
"I could be convinced to stay," she said, tugging a but at the strap that secured her sack of belongings over her shoulder. She didn't want to seem eager, but it would be a relief to stick around. "I hadn't quite expected to end up here, or I would have attempted to call ahead. Not that I've been able to do that for years, I should say. So my apologies for missing any possible weddings or birthdays you undoubtedly tried to invite me to."

//Fair enough,// he replied, blinking, but not prying. //Here for a while, at least?//
Talking to her about that seemed safer, less like prying, really.
//It's been a while. Wouldn't mind having a chance to catch up, if you're not just passing through, I mean.//
