So I guess once wasn't enough was it?

[Sigh.]

My other one is missing, so is this journal thing our new communicators?

Zee can you see this? Can you find Jael and stay with her until I find you guys?

[There's a break in the text.]

Hello? Anybody out there? I'll take anyone at this point. Even you, Jinx.

[Jael is rather idly looking through the new entries when a familiar name catches her eye. She silently flips out for a moment before she manages to collect herself enough to answer.

When she replies, her handwriting is scrawled and messy instead of her usually neat text.]

MATT?

[mutedmother]

[Jael thinks for a moment before letting go of his hand to write.]

I'll wait for you in my room, 1098.

Re: [commentlog]

[madteos]

All right, I'll be right back.

[He kisses her hand before he leaves. He returns a few minutes later, record tucked under his arm, along with the rest of his things.

Knock, knock. He should probably get a key.]

[mutedmother]

[Matt, that was too cute. Jael smiles broadly at the kiss as she heads back to her room, making sure it's relatively neat.

Jael opens the door almost as soon as Matt knocks, still smiling widely.]

[Her smile makes him smile! This is great. They're together and that's all Matt really needs to be happy. He steps inside and dumps his junk somewhere while he sits on the bed to cover his circuitry with his synthetic skin.]

They're probably not going to have more of this. Have to make it last.

[So...no punching things.....Unless absolutely necessary.]

[commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael nods and sits beside him, pulling her legs up to her chest as she watches him. She's...never seen him do this before and it's fascinating.]

[commentlog]

[madteos]

[It's done in just a few minutes. He flexes is fingers and wrists, just to make sure there are no mistakes.]

See? Good as new. Now come here.

[He's putting his arms around her to pull her close to him.]

Jael...

[He pauses, as if he's considering what he wants to say.]

On my way back, I was thinking about that note in the journals. If it's true, if we're really going home, then I want to go back with you.

[There was nothing left for him in his home world. Everything he wanted was right here beside him.]

[commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael eagerly accepts and leans heavily against Matt. However, she sits up a bit at his words, staring at him with wide eyes for a moment before she smiles widely. Grabbing some paper, she quickly scrawls something down.]

I would be so happy if you did. I don't think I'd be able to stand going home without you.

Re: [commentlog]

[madteos]

[He didn't care what world they went back to. As long as he was with her. After reading her words, he smiles at her and presses a brief kiss to her temple.]

So. This place got anything good to eat?

[commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael is never going to be able to stop smiling at this rate, Matt. She nods.]

I'm sure we can find you something to eat.

[commentlog]

[madteos]

[Awesome. Matt likes it when she smiles.]

Well, if you're not busy, wanna grab some food?

[He's starving. :(]

[commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael smiles and nods again, sliding off the bed and grabbing her papers before holding a hand out to Matt.]

[commentlog]

[madteos]

[And he's up in a flash, taking Jael's hand eagerly. Lead the way Boss Lady. ♥]

[commentlog]

[mutedmother]

[Jael squeezes Matt's hand, overjoyed at being able to do such a simple thing for the first time in months. She leads him to the kitchens, silently hoping that Joe isn't there so Matt doesn't get bad news on his first day there.]
