Who: DelPavo
Where:
When: Day 259, morning
What:

[there is a dirty, exhausted one-armed blank making his way to Pavo.

For the observant he's wearing the old uniform, and through the dirt and whatnot it's not hard to tell he's wearing Pavo's color. And then there's the hair - dirty, but still very big.

. . .

It appears that he's following a black cat]

[Holds him a moment more, just to hold him, just because he's really there, because he's here and holdable and

and really pushing himself so hard, though this one time she wouldn't have wished him to do anything else.

She takes a step back, toward the door, guiding him with her.]

We share our dorm with Delphinus now. The left side is theirs, and the right's ours . . . we share the spots in the middle.

[Lets it go, guiding him back through the door.

The foyer is open, at least; far more so than their old dorm. Most of the old dorm could likely have fit inside it, and the ceiling rises two storeys instead of being low and close.]

The stairs go up to two rooms . . . they're mostly empty now, but Pavo wants to use ours for a bath room, sometime. Once we've rebuilt the bridge.
