Room 528 [Tuesday afternoon]

Dec 21, 2010 14:03

Triela looked around the room. She was pretty sure she'd managed to pack everything. Her closet and drawers were empty, and she'd cleaned out her desk and even packed her collection of bears. She wasn't sure that she wasn't coming back, of course, but it was a distinct possibility. With the Conditioning beginning to deteriorate, it was entirely ( Read more... )

Karla had been coming up to wish Emma a happy birthday, but was just as happy to see Triela instead. Or would have been, if the first thing she'd seen when she poked her head through the door hadn't been Triela packing everything up.

"Kiss ki--Triela?!" Karla asked, pushing the door open. "What happened? Where are you going? Why are you all packed? Even if you're visiting the Agency for the holidays, surely you don't need...everything?"

Triela turned and offered Karla a sort of bittersweet smile. "I might. Though I suppose it might be prudent to leave something here so that I can at least get one trip back if I'm withdrawn from school next semester..."

Her attention turned to her things as she considered what she should leave.

Triela shook her head. "It's got nothing to do with that."

She sighed softly. "Sorry I never got the chance to take care of Hobart for you."

There were things happening on Arrakis that could have taken up all of his attention, but perhaps calling Fandom friends was a needed distraction.

The palace in Arrakeen offered the privacy of locked doors. Alone in his room, Leto picked up the phone and dialled Triela's number.

Triela set down her bag and picked up her phone, frowning at the caller ID. (Okay, so it was really more of a scowl, but the expression was more a habit than anything else by now.)

"What?" she demanded as she held the phone to her ear.

"Hello, Triela." The amused smile might possibly be almost audible. "Am I interrupting anything?"

sorella_vecchia December 22 2010, 18:31:09 UTC

"I'm packing."

So, no. Not really.
