[The video opens in Bobby's room. It wobbles as she attempts to prop it up at the right angle to show her bed, where a young woman in her early twenties is sitting on top of the covers knitting. Bobby makes a shh gesture with her finger over her lips before giving the camera a big smile.]

Bobby, what are you doing over there? I'm not done with what we were talking about earlier, you know.

[Bobby just makes a running leap onto the bed, landing half on the woman's legs and giggling.]

Honestly, you. I dropped three stitches.

[But the affection in her voice makes it clear she isn't mad at all. She puts down her knitting to pull Bobby into a hug, to which Bobby only squirms a little, laughing.]

Get off!

[As both girls laugh, the feed clicks off.]




[ooc: Bobby's older sister is here for the day! Replies will come from horseish and lionesque. (And maybe manlike if Boots feels brave enough to show his face.)

ALSO these ladies are open to all and any form of fourth walling. Hit me up, yo.]

Particularly for ones who never had it forced on them growing up. I had to teach her to read and honestly it was a miracle to get ten minutes out of her in one day.

Your perseverance is truly admirable, Miss Jocelyn.

If there's one thing her and me have it's patience.

You've been teaching her, haven't you?

[candothat]

Nothing else? I have only met you, but you seem clever to me.

I have, yes. [With a lot of fort-building.]

[lionesque]

Thank you. I appreciate everything people have done for her here.

It is no trouble, Miss. You should be proud of Bobby; she has taken the City well.

[lionesque]

So I've heard.

Have you been here long, Mr. Chekov?

video;

[candothat]

Three-hundred forty-four days. Not so long as many people.

video;

[lionesque]

That's not long?

video;

[candothat]

It is more than long enough.

[lionesque]

I'd certainly say so. Aren't you worried about what might have left behind?

[candothat]

No, that is not necessary.

[He's ready to launch into his theories regarding the unique qualities of time and space that characterize the City, but it occurs to him that such things aren't of much interest to people who aren't him.]

Time stops, essentially. When I return home--and when you return home, and Bobby--no time will have elapsed.
