Pen wakes up at about four in the afternoon. It takes her a few seconds to remember why she's here, but then she remembers and starts looking for Cindy.

He offers her a napkin. "You gooped," he says.

[campanas]

Pen peers at herself. She dabs at the sauce. The feathers come reasonably clean.

"Soon I need bath. You have small bath," she says. "No stretching space." (She extends her recently desauced wing illustratively.)

[manofmyword]

"True," he says. "I can try'n find a bigger one. No promises. I don't know if they come big enough."

[campanas]

"I fly in rain?" she suggests, thoughtful.

[manofmyword]

"Would that get you clean or just wet? Mm, I'll think of something."

[campanas]

Pen shrugs.

[manofmyword]

He grins.

[campanas]

Pen flaps a little bit. "Fly fly fly tomorrow tomorrow fly fly."

[manofmyword]

"Mhm!"

[campanas]

She folds her wings again. "Home I fly all days," she sighs.

[manofmyword]

"Well, this isn't home," he says.

[campanas]

She folds her arms on the table and drops her head onto them. "Know that," she says. "Want door. Or Jane."

[manofmyword]

"I can't get you any of that," he says. "But I can get you someplace nice to fly tomorrow."

[campanas]

"Know that," says Pen. "Want anyway."

[manofmyword]

"Yeah."

[campanas]

"Miss Mommy and Daddy and sisters and people."

[manofmyword]

"Yeah."

[campanas]

"Do you dreaming thing?"

[manofmyword]

"What's the dreaming thing?"

[campanas]

"A Jokers nice bar thing. They dream, they be at it."

[manofmyword]

He shakes his head. "I've never done that."

[campanas]

"If you dream it tell Jane and she tell everyone."

[manofmyword]

"And where will I find Jane?"

[campanas]

"She in Belltower, or you just," [brainphone.]

[manofmyword]

"All right," he says. "I'll remember."
