Man, you look just like I feel [Open]

Despite the uproar that had taken place only a day earlier, it was all quiet at the Susono Inn. Well... mostly quiet, anyway. It was home to some of the most stubborn crew members on the ship, almost all of whom had gotten involved in the brawl with the Kessek.

Allenby's arm had been broken. Simon had taken a hard one directly to the ribs. Zouichi would probably take a week to get back to real fighting form.

And Howard... well, it would probably take Howard a while to recover from what had happened.

"She does have bad days," Barbara sighed a little, remembering when she was practically thrown from the wardrobe room for taking too long to choose an outfit. And all those times she wouldn't materialise properly...

"What about, when you're feeling better, I'll show you all my favourite parts of the TARDIS?" she said kindly, reaching down to pat Emergency Rations, who was rubbing its head against her ankle.

Howard's about to say something about the TARDIS having mood swings, but then he remembers it's not that weird, given that they're living in a moon-sized sentient meatball.

"That sounds good. What part's that? I mean, I found a blanket fort in there that's pretty cool."

And that small part of him that's still a little kid, still just a child wearing an adult's life, would like to go back to said blanket fort at some point.

Blanket fort? Barbara chose not to think on it, although that didn't stop the images of pillow canons and soldiers in pyjamas.

"I like lots of places. The wardrobe room, the library, the cinema. I once found a field of daisies, and a room fashioned to look like the rings of Saturn."

"...How does that even work?" Howard tilts his head at a comical angle. "Could you ice skate on them?"

Re: Howard

"I'm not sure. I didn't exactly walk into the room - I thought that I might have fallen through space." Barbara hadn't been on board for long at the time, and had been feeling like she might have broken anything if she'd touched it wrong. "I'm not sure that you could ice skate on the rings of Saturn. They're made of rocks, aren't they? Rocks and gas. You could play a rather interesting game of hopscotch!"

Re: Howard

"Are they ice? I used to like astronomy stuff but...eh." Howard shrugs. "We could try that sometime, though."

Yes, Barbara, Howard has willingly asked to spend more time with you. In a friendly way. Progress?

"Thanks for coming by. I should probably get more sleep."

Re: Howard

[first_in_time]

"I think that might be a good idea. More rest should do you a world of good." And it took a bit of effort to not try and tuck Howard in. Instead, she stood from the bed, much to the disappointment of the feline at her feet. "I'm sure I'll see you up and around again very soon."

With a final wave and a large, warm smile, Barbara left the room.
