[lost_dressing] Housewarming
His bed is somewhere. He knows where, he just doesn't feel like getting it. He's cleaned the house from abandonment back to something like human occupation, and the whole place smells like DHARMA brand Pine Sol.

[mixed muses continuity] baby mine
Ben had put on one hell of a show during breakfast. Some of it was genuine: he did feel a bit relaxed, a bit cheerful, but as the meal went on anxiety kept creeping in, and the realization that he had talked to Penelope Widmore and let her go was nagging at his brain.
