[Action]
[It's weird how much a small, seemingly trivial thing can change everything. Something had been nagging at him ever since he arrived and in all the confusion of being in a new place coupled with getting used to Helix all over again he never really figured out what it was.
And then, that morning, it just disappeared.
It wasn't even something he realized that he'd been missing, but waking up and discovering that Helix had snuck into his bed sometime during the night (when did he even come home?) just made everything so much... better. They weren't even touching, nothing happened at all but it gave him some well-needed proof that everything was alright and now he could finally relax. Not worry quite as much.
It was closer to noon by the time Helix wandered out of the bedroom and Aidan had spent the better part of the day immersed in the idea of Growing Things. He was still pretty excited about it but did what he could to tone it down - he could recognize a hangover when he saw one.]
