Outside it's too cold to snow, and windy; the strongest gusts are audible through the windows.

Simon's at his desk, where he's been since immediately after dinner, poring over the lists he has to memorize for the first exam.

(Distantly, from the kitchen, he can hear water running.)

Kaylee's cleaning up from dinner. It's necessary work, and she doesn't mind doing it alone.

The apartment is near-silent. Kaylee takes her time -- it won't do to make too much noise.

After a while, she dries her hands, and wanders into the living room to sit on the couch. She could plug in headphones, watch something; she doesn't much feel like doing anything except staring off into space.

There's a footfall in the doorway.

"Ai ren? Are you busy?"

Kaylee half-sits up. Shakes her head.

"I, ah." For some reason there's a slightly sheepish edge to his smile. "I was wondering if you could help me with this?"
