Lily wanted to believe him, that they'd get home -- and soon -- but she was also trying to be realistic. "It is," she agreed. "I'd rather be there than here. And back in our own time, while we're wishing for things."
She licked her lips, gazing down at their hands. "I've been ... well, trying to avoid long term planning, but doing it all the same. I don't want to think of us being stuck here for weeks, or months, or Merlin forbid, years, but it's a possibility. Something we have to consider, at any rate. Better to plan for it and find a way home than to not plan and ... be worse off than we would have been otherwise."
But they could spend time looking for a way back. Between working or finding work or finding a place to live that wasn't the welcome center.
