Finally some roomie tim-whoops.

It had been an arduous few days. Between the situation with people losing memories and then the people coming back from the Ohm attack, Kaya had been pretty busy. She hadn't even left the med bay, preferring to sleep here instead of back at the Outsider's hotel. She knew she had already missed quite a bit due to this: sessions with Chase, the upkeep of the hotel, and general having fun time, but priorities were priorities. Now that she had some time to herself though, she was hoping to spent some time helping her roommate decorate and at least have some general fun: Alex, after all, had brought all of those interesting black light things, why not put them to good use?

She walked up the stairs of the hotel, making a beeline straight for the hotel suite. It was one of the good things about not having to be alone: it didn't matter that Alex was a boy, at least he was SOMEONE she could talk to on a daily basis. Besides, she had those sliding doors now, so they could respect each others privacy.

But then she reached the room and opened the door, and saw all of his things were gone, specifically the laptop he prized so much, and she knew he had been podded. She closed her eyes a moment, slowly counting to ten, tears springing to her eyes.
Of course.
She took a breath, then wiped her eyes and closed the door, going back down the steps, and quietly closing the door behind her. She wanted to scream, or cry, or throw a fit at least, but none of these things would bring Alex back. So she just wandered the city park for the moment, looking tired.

"True, it's hard to ruffle Nokosi. I've tried. I'm sure you could talk to him about it, Kaya. And we'll be here whenever you need us."

Well...he'd have to speed up construction on soundproofing the walls if more people were going to move nearby, that was for sure. His hand tugged on Ronnie's lightly before he shifted over to Kaya's side, offering a hug.

It was around then that he had a flash of inspiration. Such a proposition was silly, and he wasn't sure if Kaya would be offended by it, but maybe...

"I'll be right back. I've just remembered that I have something that might help you, Kaya." And Billy was bounding up the stairs, carefully sealing off his mind to prevent Kaya from learning what was up early.

"I'll think about it," Kaya said carefully. "I would say I'm not sure what people would think of me rooming with a boy, but I was going to with Alex anyway, so no point in getting all strange about it. I really would like you guys as neighbors!"

Granted, she would have to make sure she could block out when Billy and Ronnae were intimate, but that was easily managed. They'd have to before anyway.

But when Billy left the two of them abruptly, she gave Ronnae a questioning look.

What was he planning?

Ronnie shrugged, not knowing what Billy was up to before looking a bit confused.

"Why would there be anything wrong with rooming with a male? If anything, my sisters said that it was sometimes better cause rooming with girls could be a hassle." she asked curiously, looking at Kaya.

From below the girls would hear the sound of Billy rummaging through a room or two, digging through his things in search of a few specific items. Thumps and bumps sounded, perhaps with a few other noises and a yelp of pain or two. Why was that so much heavier than it looked from the outside?

Finally, after a long struggle with the clutter, he slumped back down the stairs with the item wrapped in a simple checkered blanket. He'd have to be perky for this part.

Without further ado, he dropped the light and fluffy bundle into Kaya's arms. When it opened, it would reveal a stuffed wolf with shining blue eyes staring up at her.

"I know you have a dog already, Kaya, but I picked this up because it reminded me of a comfort object I had as a child. It's not quite the same as a living companion, but it's easily transportable and won't complain. I know it's probably a silly gift."

But he really hoped it helped.

Well this was definitely a surprise. The last thing that Kaya was expecting, honestly, was a stuffed animal. She wasn't sure what Billy was up to, but it definitely had her surprised.

She chuckled. "Billy, sometimes you really are the sweetest guy. Only you would think to go and get a girl a stuffed animal to make her feel more at home in an empty place. But its like they say: its the thought that counts."

And she reached over and gave him a hug. "Thank you."

Ronnae opened her mouth to say something, but thought better of it. Instead simply smiling in agreement.

She relaxed back into the couch and looked to the ceiling, she wondered for whatever reason how Ashfang was... Her chest knotted a bit as the thoughts of home hit her again. Her outer expression however didn't denote this. She was damn good at hiding her feelings.

Billy wrapped the blanket around Kaya's shoulders as he hugged her. "I know it's not much, but take this too. We should have a roommate for you soon, but some sources of warmth can still be useful in the meantime. It's helped me through loneliness a few times."

Yes, there were more stuffed toys upstairs. He would dig them up if ever they were needed.

When that was done, he drew out a second blanket and tossed it over Ronnae. "I thought some relaxing might help all of us." Not that he remembered to get any for himself.

Kaya would usually tell him that he should go and get something for himself too, but she figured that Billy wanted to be a source of comfort for the both of them, and this was one way the he could, so she wrapped herself around the blanket a moment.

And she decided, at least for tonight, to impose just one more time.

"Would you guys mind if I stayed over tonight? I'll leave in the morning, I swear, and I'll try not to keep making this a habit, but I'd like to not be alone today, that's all. I'm going to have to start moving my stuff from the Suite soon anyway."

Like he could get away with that... Ronnae pulled him next to her and wrapped the cover around them both, cuddling up to him in a warm snuggle.

She looked to Kaya and nodded, "It's not a problem really. You shouldn't say it like you're not wanted here yanno?" Ronnie giggled a bit offering a warm smile.

"I wouldn't mind at all," Billy nodded his agreement enthusiastically, yelping at Ronnie's sudden abduction of him. He slid his hand around to stroke her back, that happy smile adorning his face.

"Take whatever room you'd feel most comfortable in, and don't hesitate to call on us for any reason." We promise to behave tonight, he added as silent reassurance for Kaya.

By behave, of course, he meant 'mostly behave', as Ronnie would feel with his playful hand.

Kaya chuckled, then looked at the stuffed wolf a moment. I doubt that, but I'll take your word for it. You two, have fun, ok?

She managed a smile, even if a part of her felt a little left out somehow. It would be nice, she thought, to have something like that with someone and not have it blow up in her face.

But between Azula and the Outsiders and training, she likely didn't even have the time anymore. She closed her hands around the stuffed animal, looking at them, an understanding expression on her face.

The blush creeping on Ronnie's face was a clear image of how much Billy wan't behaving. Not that she minded of course...

"Y-yeah j-jus' l-let us k-know if you need anything at all. A-and d-don't be afraid to knock!" a small squeak left her lips as she finished the sentence.

No, honest, Billy sobered up, instantly settling for a simple hug against Ronnie. I'm just teasing. I shouldn't have fun that way when I'm this injured, remember?

Before Kaya could go anywhere, he gave her a firm hug and kiss on the brow. "We're here for you, I promise. Let us know what you need and we'll do it."

You guys should be able to do whatever you want, it is your house after all. I'll sleep out here, ok? You have fun.

She laughed softly. "You guys really are too cute sometimes!"

Oblivious to the inner conversation between the two, Ronnae could only blush at the compliment and shrink a bit in the couch, cuddling against Billy.

"Just make yourself at home wherever you'd like Kaya. Really." She smiled happily.

"Yeah," Billy agreed, reaching out to brush Kaya's hair back behind her shoulder. "Settle in and relax. We have plenty of room."

Even as he wound his arms around Ronnie's waist and tickled, just slightly, he thought on Kaya's situation. There had to be a way to make her comfortable. She had earned happiness many times over and it had yet to arrive.

Kaya smiled. Anytime she had problems, it always seemed right that she should come to these two: somehow, it always ended up this way, and it made her really happy. So she hunkered down on the sofa, just taking the time to drink the moment in.

"Thank you both, you've been really good to me," she said. "I know I have days where I can get ridiculously gloomy, and then you appear. I'm grateful for you both, I mean that."

"You know we're here for you whenever you need us Kaya. Be it serious or not, never hesitate to just call on us or anything else." Ronnae smiled from her cozy cuddled up position in the couch.
