The Piemaker no longer had any genuine idea what age he would be at that moment. Everything seemed to last longer here in this place where he had no real sense of purpose. There wasn't much to do to pass the time, despite having a Renaissance Faire right outside. He still hated dressing up, he wasn't a big fan of learning to weave baskets or joust or make tools, and even his own dog had found a new playmate. Of course, he was used to Digby being a bigger fan of Olive than himself, what with her actually being able to pet him. But a pig? That he wasn't a big fan of.

So time dragged a bit more for Ned than usual. Having Olive around was still taking a great deal of getting used to. Especially without Chuck. He still missed her desperately, but the ache was getting a bit easier to deal with. Maybe she was better off back home without him. Maybe she'd find some man who she could actually touch. Without dying, that was. And who hadn't killed her father.

That thought alone was enough to drag him out of bed. He peeked out the window and noticed it was still drizzling, which was getting a bit unbearable. Dressing in the most casual thing he could find, he stepped out the door, trying not to let his eyes wander across the hall where Olive was likely still fast asleep. It was relatively early, after all. He waved Digby out behind him, even less worried about him being off leash than he'd been at home. Not only was Digby a good dog, but he was a smart one, too. He'd be just fine on his own.

At the first glance at her, Ned took a slightly surprised step back, bumping into his own door, the knob jabbing him in the back. He winced, and forced his eyes up to her face. Did she always dress so...so... Well, there wasn't much there, was there? Swallowing hard, he didn't even get a chance to reply to her greeting when her arm linked through his and he found himself walking towards the door of their building. She would never have been bold enough to try this back home, but then, they weren't back home, were they? They weren't even on the planet Earth, he was pretty sure.

"Changes?" he questioned. He hadn't exactly paid any attention to his surroundings when checking the weather. He'd only discovered that it was still gross outside and that he wasn't going to wear a nice outfit when it was likely to get muddy. Dirt was just another one of those things Ned wasn't very fond of. "What sorts of changes? And good morning to you, too."
