Microbots. /Ark/ Base. Karen's Homecoming Part 9
Continued from here.
Heatwave: *notices friends at that moment. Firetruck siren sound is go!*
Legacy: *will open the door to see who Heatwave is announcing the arrival of*
Karen: *will move to greet her daughter with a hug once she's gotten out of the car*
Calla: *is that keek swooping down out of the sky!* *so keek!*
Legacy: *hugging her mom! And holding a hand up for Calla to land on. Has a fancy leather glove on each hand*
Calla: *lands on the glove and bobs her head to wave a feather she's holding*
Karen: *surprised at the daintiness Calla displays when landing*
Legacy: *sees the feather* Calla, were you chasing Buzzsaw again?
Calla: *bob bob bob, soft falcon laughter*
Legacy: Calla, that's not nice.
Rachel: But it serves him right. Just don't do it to anyone else, okay?
Calla: *talks around her prize*
Legacy: Alright, you can keep it, but like Rachel said, no doing it to anyone else.
Calla: *tail wiggle!*
Karen: *surprised by how calm and confident Legacy sounds right now*
Rachel: *turns from scooping a small form into her arms* Hi, Chris. Did your mom get home safe?
Chris: *snorts and nods, then points to Karen and signs* "Mom said give hug."
Rachel: Ohhh. *looks over* Karen, d'you want another hug?
Karen: *blinks and smiles* Sure.
Rachel: *carries over that tiny young guy who looks like a toddler*
Karen: *surprised by who the hug is being offered by, but will accept the hugs, even though she knows she saw this little guy jumping on an adult earlier*
Chris: *gives her a serious look, and then offers the hug*
Rachel: *quietly* Chris has been a soldier since he was twelve.
Karen: *soft sound as she hugs*
Chris: *gentle squish and a patpat. His hug feels a lot like Joe's*
Karen: *gentle hugs*
Chris: *makes sure that this lady knows that she is loved and that she will be safe here, then leans back to look at her out of those mismatched, wide-set eyes*
Karen: *calm and smiling a little*
Chris: *smiles back, and then turns and signs to Rachel*
Rachel: He says if anyone gives you a hard time and you don't feel like kicking their afts yourself, to tell him.
Karen: *soft chuckle* I'll keep that in mind.
Chris: *nods seriously, and then points to the ground and makes the fingers of one hand stand on the other hand*
Karen: ... Er... *looks to Rachel* I'm not sure what he just said.
Rachel: *quickly turns back from gently booting foot to try and get a rooster to stop biting it* Whoops... oh. *grin* He's asking to be set down.
Karen: Ah... *small nod, will carefully set Chris on his feet*
Chris: *quick hand sign, and then a sharp look at Rachel*
Rachel: *yup, she's paying attention* He says thanks. *grins at Chris and is snorted at*
Karen: *soft chuckle and a small nod*
Chris: *grins up at her for a moment, and then grabs escapee Heatwave and runs away with him*
Rachel: Jake's going to need more than a hook and eye catch on that pen.
Karen: Oh, dear. *amused*
Rachel: *chuckles, and then moves to gently herd Karen toward the tall little house, only to look over her shoulder as something bellows* Oh wow. There's a troll horse on the Rabie lawn.
Karen: Troll horse? *looks* *surprised squeak as she sees the big, white and black critter*
Rachel: It's harmless. C'mon. Let's get you some tea and some sleep.
Karen: Er... Alright.
Rachel: *gentle and amused* You get debriefed tomorrow. Can you wait that long?
Karen: *nod* I think so.
Rachel: *opens the door of the little house, which is Japanese style and slides instead of swinging open*
Karen: *surprised sound as she sees that*
Rachel: This is to keep your working partner from walking into the edges of doors. *checks on Legacy*
Legacy: *sitting pretty with Calla on one of the cushions, has the teapot ready to pour*
Karen: *quiet as she takes in the cozily decorated room, with its many cushions, throw pillows and blankets. She can see that the main room is divided into a living room and kitchen, and that there seems to be a couple more rooms just off the main room, which she thinks may be the bathroom and another room that she's not sure about yet*
Rachel: *over to the little hallway at one side* Your bedroom's down here. *to one door* Toilet. *another door* Broom closet and water heater. *last door* Bathroom.
Karen: Ah... *small nod*
Legacy: *quietly* I'll take your bag to your room, so you can have your tea before it gets cold.
Karen: Ah... *small nod, feeling a bit out of her element now*
Rachel: *softly, as Legacy jogs out of the room* Are you okay?
Karen: I'm... This is all so new to me...
Rachel: *nods and grabs the teacup from the table to offer it* *softly* I know. Don't worry, you have all the time you need to adjust.
Karen: *small nod as she reaches for the offered teacup* *quietly* Thank you.
Rachel: *puts her hand on Karen's back and rubs gently. Will offer support while the woman drinks the warm, sweet tea, sit on the toilet seat while she brushes her teeth, and then help Legacy see Karen tucked into the warm hammock that hangs in the airy bedroom*
Karen: *quiet sigh as she gets comfortable and slips into a light doze*
Rachel: *concerned and affectionate look as she turns away and walks out of the little house, where she stands on the doorstep. Stares absently past Riley and Little Anna as they sit on the roof of the teardrop and discuss the apples they're holding, but she doesn't see them. She's praying*
Legacy: *will join you on the doorstep a short while later, Rachel*
Rachel: *looks toward the younger woman as Calla keereeks cheerfully toward the darkening sky*
Legacy: Mom's sleeping. *quietly* He really can't get her here?
Rachel: *nods firmly* There is no way he can come onto the base without being caught.
Legacy: *small nod. She's not entirely certain, after the recent incident at her assigned base caused by her father which made her CO to put in the request for a temporary transfer to Ark Base*
Rachel: *softly* I know what he did last night, and why you're here. He won't be able to do that anymore either.
Legacy: *squares her shoulders, takes a deep breath, and nods. She still doesn't believe it won't happen again, but she trusts you, Rachel*
Rachel: *hugs*
Legacy: *hugs*
Rachel: You can stay here tonight, if you want. Instead of in quarters.
Legacy: *small head shake* *quietly* Mom needs quiet and time to get used to where stuff is.
Rachel: Okay. *gentle kiss for hair* Sarah says she put something on your bed.
Legacy: *small smile* Aww. *is quite fond of Sarah already, having met the youngster earlier in the day*
Rachel: *grin* *whisper* Pink bunny.
Legacy: *soft snerk* Aw.
Rachel: *links arms with her and starts walking toward the barn* She says she made it from a pair of knee socks.
Legacy: *surprised* Really? Huh.
Rachel: She's a determined one, my Sarah. *smile* You remind me of her.
Legacy: *ducks her head a bit, blushing*
Rachel: *hugs her, then leads her into the softly snore-echoing elevator. Sees the young airman to quarters, and then goes to her house to vanish under the avalanche of kids happy to have her home*
