[milliways] Through The Looking Glass

 [After this.]

Dejah wakes and eats her breakfast on the terrace, looking out over the city.  When she's done, she finds herself pacing the floor, waiting for the door to Milliways to show up again.

The moment the sun hits the far wall, it reappears in a shimmer of dust motes. Dejah smiles with relief.  She grabs up the copper-clad box with the data crystals, and a few of her notebooks.  She starts over the threshold, and at the last moment, she whirls around and grabs Curtis's hat off her pillow.

The whole place is bustling, so she looks for him in his usual place at the bar.

If asked, Curtis will vehemently deny that he's been hovering. He's just...been finding more excuses to be in the main bar these past twenty-four hours.

She'd said she would be back within a day at most. Maybe it's been less than a day, and Curtis is just having trouble with time again. (Maybe it's been longer, but if it has, at least he hasn't been able to tell.)

All of which is to say he's right where Dejah left him at the bar -- and when Curtis spots her, he visibly brightens, sets down his drink, and waves hello.
