Dec. 11th, 2008 11:06 pmThe desk in their room has gotten a little cluttered, over the past couple of weeks. Simon's putting things away when he comes across the unfamiliar bundle: dark fabric, wrapped haphazardly around ... more fabric, he discovers on unfolding it. And a few other things.
He smiles at the pattern on the scarf and gloves, and examines the video-discs curiously. (Also dubiously, and wondering what Kaylee's told Rose Toren about him.)
As he puts the discs back, a piece of paper flutters to the floor. He bends and picks it up to replace it, and a phrase catches his eye, read in a blink: -- know the time and effort you put into this --
It's automatic: he keeps reading.
He's reading it for the second time, standing at the desk frowning down at the paper, when Kaylee comes in.
