Joy stood at the window and looked out through the crack in the curtain, ears perked to catch all the sounds of the place. Behind her on the bed Kurt slept, occasionally making small sounds in his sleep.

One ear went back as she thought of the day before, when she had met with him in a meadow intending to offer a friendly ear in his time of sadness. Instead she'd accidently inspired an avowal of love from the drunken man; one that she was under no delusions that he would even remember, much less uphold, when he woke. She looked too much like her mother's people for any Terran human, no matter how altered physically themselves, to see her as attractive. It was a fact and it didn't bother her.

Her thoughts turned then to her family, whom she hadn't seen since the World Outside Time had sent her away. Intent on the memories, she forgot about the one she was protecting and everything else around her.

He stumbled forward, then chuckled himself and nodded, going into the bathroom and sighing, looking into the mirror.

His smile fell away, and for a moment it seemed like the mirror was only showing him Mara's face disapearing.

He leaned against the sink, shoulders hunched, then took a deep breath and turned on the faucet, starting to clean himself up.

Joy watched him go, then reached back and adjusted the elastic that held her black hair into a careless knot before snapping on her image inducer and walking over to look through the window again.
