75 Godiva, Fridday
May. 3rd, 2019 10:32 amEliot was having another "every ice pack in the house" kind of day. He didn't remember a lot from the past few days beyond overwhelming hunger, but he was reasonably certain at one point he'd fallen off a roof. Every part of him ached.
Eliot groaned as he draped a fresh ice pack across the back of his neck. Val looked up from where she was lounging at his feet (she been refusing to leave his side since he'd relocated her last night), ears perked and tail wagging. He reached down gingerly and rubbed her ears.
"I'm getting too goddamn old for this, girl."
Val barked softly and licked his fingers. He was pretty sure she didn't disagree.
[open!]

Slumping next to Eliot, she muttered, "Face hurts. Megabyte okay?"

Date: 2019-05-06 03:25 pm (UTC)Right now, he was pretty sure it was terrible, but that was probably the achiness talking.

"If we did leave," he asked. "Where would you want to go?"

Date: 2019-05-06 05:17 pm (UTC)"I've been thinking," Eliot said, letting his eyes close again. "'Bout the southwest." Where there was quite possibly a little boy waiting on them. "And then maybe the Gulf coast. . . ." Where they might end up with a little girl.

Date: 2019-05-06 05:43 pm (UTC)They hadn't been really specific, so he couldn't say for sure. And knowing Hardison, the man was cooking up something much too grandiose to kick the nascent plans into motion.
