Can someone please inform my mother that six in the morning is not a time that normal people start baking? Especially when she's only just shown up within the last half hour?

[ Hi, City. Ariadne's looking rather bleary-eyed, Biscuit the cat's orange self plopped onto her lap and staring up at his human as she tries not to yawn into the camera. ]

I think we're going to need a new freezer to store everything in, guys. [ TOO TIRED FOR LOCKED MESSAGES TO HER HOUSE. ]

Anyway, I'm Ariadne and welcome to the City. [ Pause. ] Any familiar faces out there?

[ Okay, so maybe she's hoping for some... ]

((ooc: Open to all sorts of fourth-walling, save for telling her she's from a movie!))

I'm glad someone did.

[ Oh, dammit, George-- Biscuit is dropped (much to his displeasure) and Ariadne hugs him, squeezing. ]

We all did. Ginny, Percy, Merlin... me.

[It takes him a moment to remember how to react. His heart stutters inside his chest in a way it hasn't in too long and then his arms are wrapping around her as well.]

I missed you too, love.

[ God, she doesn't know how she's supposed to be reacting. She can't fall back into this, she can't, not when he's going to leave again -- not when he'll go home, watch Ginny get married and have children. But she wants to. ]

How long has it been? And... I know you probably didn't, you said as much before you left, but... did you remember anything?

A few months, I think.

[He'd forgotten the way she fit against him and holding her like this, it's all flooding back. He lets one hand tuck a straw lock behind her ear, like he used to.]

I remember, something changing I think. After I came back. No strong memories, but something. Then I showed up here again and... it's like suddenly remembering you've been missing something without knowing it.

Yeah, it was... a few months here, too.

[ Ariadne can't decide if she wants to tuck her face into his shoulder or if she wants to keep looking at him. Biscuit comes back over and rubs himself up against George's legs, purring. He's gotten bigger since he was here last. ]

... Did it help at all? [ She hopes it did. ]
