"Was he there?" She eased herself down to the floor, sitting amongst the plans and papers. "Or did you just enter... an empty void?" Leanne had the strangest urge to reach out an take his hand, to tell him it was all going to be right, that she would take him home if she had to summon hellfire to rip apart the fabric of reality. But that was probably the hormones talking. She coughed uncomfortably, trying to clear her mind and return to the topic at hand.

Leanne.... Leanne didn't remember dying. "New Jersey... that's in America, right? I've heard of it."

She paused, thinking about his words. What if they were all dead and this was some twisted afterlife? Did that mean that she had failed- Leanne looked down instinctively. No, still there. What kind of life was she to leave?

"Tell me Evan... what was it like when you came here? Was there a house yet?"

She patted him on the shoulder awkwardly. Neither of them were people that dealt with their emotions well. "Where would you go if you could get out? Back to the same day and time you disappeared? Mentally sixty-five years older, having an adventure no one could comprehend? Back to the same place, walking back into society as if you'd never aged a day?"

"This house warps us. They're young and idyllic. But a gilded cage is still a cage. I- I don't even remember how I got here."

	So Aleks says Evan is crazy. Evan says Aleks is crazy. Leanne shivered. One of them was telling the truth and the other was lying. And depending on which one was being honest... Or they were both crazy, and could only see in each other. "Hm. What are you working on right now?" [Read more]

	"Which is fair. But... no one else has stayed that long. What's it like?" She carefully stepped into the room, mindful of everything. It was... parts everywhere, crinkled plans covering every surface. Leanne didn't even see a bed. (It had probably disappeared under more plans. "Woah." She looked around, fascinated. "This place is... crazy." [Read more]

	"It's... fine, I guess. You weren't... you weren't that bad." She wasn't expecting him to apologise, and it threw her for a loop. "Do you mind if I come in?" She smiled slightly, curious. [Read more]

	"You're being loud," she said bluntly. "It's literally impossible to ignore your enraged screams from this close a proximity, and I was kind of trying to get a little sleep... But this seems more interesting. What's in your lair, Evan? What demon-killing projects are you tinkering with today?" Leanne smirked, putting a casual hand on her belly. [Read more]

Leanne padded upstairs, returning to her room in the older part of the house. She felt a little bad that she was hiding away up here, bit was too lethargic to care. She summoned flames at her fingertips to light the candles dear Min had given her -- "The shopkeeper said they ward off of evil spirits, taking strength from your soul." A sniff "I'm not sure how accurate that is, but for a few knuts, they're rather nice. And I'm not sensing any harmful magic, either."

There were a few things in her old world she missed after all. The cameraderie of the squad, the purpose, the danger... Yet it had become too dangerous. The man may have defeated him, but there was more darkness brewing in the vacuum he left behind. Leanne shivered.

Until all of the sudden, her lovely nap was interrupted by a frustrated shout. Why did she have to share a wall with Evan? Aleks had warned her not to disturb him. What about when he was disturbing her?

Leanne, by definition, liked to play with fire. She was very good with it... Seventh year duelling champion because of it. Most of the time, she could keep herself from being burned. She stood, exiting her room a little annoyed, and knocked on Evan's door.

Leanne shivered. Why did she feel like she was being threatened? Aleks was her friend... albeit, a little annoying and chaotic, but he was her friend. After seven months, he was often the only one there for her. Yet there was an edge to his voice that gave her pause.

"That makes two of us. Madness would be quite inconvenient to have to deal with. And you know how I hate inconvenience. She turned, sidestepping him to walk back up the stairs, pausing to see if he would stop her again. It was times like these when Leanne realized how little she knew about this strange new world.

"Ah, yes. Run me to the ground so I die before my prime. What a wonderful idea." She nodded sarcastically. "I'm tired. I'm taking a nap."

When the man with the maniacal smile didn't move, Leanne sighed. "Just give me three more weeks. Then I can do your activities again."

She refused to use her condition as an excuse in a sentence, and it was making everything harder. Eight months in, and she still wasn't sure how she felt about the small human growing inside her. She didn't speak of it, didn't change her life to revolve around it, nothing.

But she sure thought about it.

A lot.

	Leanne yanked her arm away unceremoniously. "Don't touch me. I am not playing with you right now, nor will I ever make plans to. You couldn't possibly have anything I want, anyway. So go outside, Emmie. Enjoy the village. Annoy someone your own age." With a final glare at the girl, Leanne turned on her heel, stalking in the direction of the stairs to take a nap. [Read more]

Leanne's stare at Morpheus was pointed, more than a little annoyed. She'd been dealing with this for eight months. One could assume that she actually knew what she was doing by now. Merlin, these people constantly overstepped their boundaries into unwelcomeness. Detestable.

"See... it's never just a stroll with you, Aleks." She finished the tea, setting the mug in the sink. "I know enough not to trust that smirk on your face, my friend. So really, if it's all the same to you, I'm taking a nap. Go and have fun with the children without me."

Leanne just shook her head. "I don't know about that one, chief."

There were no chiefs here. This wasn't the squad. There was no wild haired squad leader barking orders at her. Leanne frowned. She was really quite tired. "Your idea of relaxing certainly doesn't match mine. Pardon my scepticism, but I'm not sure if I'm in any state to make that journey today." Her clipped accent emphasised her words, making Leanne sound like she was back in Britain. The North-Londoner came out when she was too exhausted to somewhat conform.

"I might just go back to bed..."

"Tenant...?" Leanne frowned. "Of course." She thought that Evan and Aleks were friends. She thought they had known each other since before this house. Evidently, she had been mistaken.

She sipped her tea, lost in thought for a moment. Then she finally asked, dreading the answer that she knew was going to somehow terrify her, or at the very least, fill her with dread. (Just think, she could have a moment longer of peace before asking.) "What did you plan for today, Aleks?"

"You know, I've decided that I think I hate you sometimes." She grabbed the tea, the first sip tasting like pure, blissful, perfect heaven. It was one of the few reminders about where she came from that Leanne looked forward to. "But then you'll make me a cup of this addicting substance, and you're alright in my book." She crossed her arms, leaning against the counter.

"Seriously. Check on Evan at some point." Her brow furrowed. Leanne was inexplicably worried about the cyberkinetic. He clearly didn't want help from her. Or at the very least, she hadn't found the right words to say so he would accept help from her right now.

Leanne hesitated. Evan was... not in a good headspace, she could tell. But having people like the little twerp who had followed them in his safe space was the last thing he needed right now.

"Fine, I'll give you some room. But you owe me a conversation, you little piece of-" she stopped, taking a deep breath. Leanne grabbed Emmie by the back of her shirt, lifting her into the air with a grunt. "Are you made of rocks or something? Seriously."

Hauling Emmie downstairs was not as easy as it should have been. Dumping her in the kitchen, she whirled around to face her. "Emmie. Stop following people. Private conversations are private. They do NOT include you." Leanne glared at Aleks. If Evan was telling the truth, then this was his fault... she could just tell.

"Morning Aleks. I'm doing great, thanks for asking. Did you know your tenants are out of control? Evan's also in a funk. And for the love of Merlin, is there any tea? I'm about to die from dehydration if the lack of caffeinated earl grey doesn't do me in first."

	Leanne stared longingly between tea and Evan. Eventually, she made up her mind, following Evan back up the stairs. At least upstairs had no Emmie. "Evan, wait up," she muttered, trudging up the stairs after him. Glancing as Cass, she smiled briefly, before darting after him. [Read more]

"Yeah, but the human parts? They need sleep. I should know..." She looked down, scowling at the overabundance of humanity. She had never said a word about it, nor would she start now. Leanne was pregnant. Three words. It was just a fact that the house accepted.

"Evan, why can't you just take a break? It's not that hard. You might enjoy it, or somethi-"

"Has anyone told you that conversations aren't meant to be interrupted?" She sighed in exasperation. "I'm Leanne. Fourth time I'm telling you this, Emmie." This girl. She was the most annoying out of everyone there with her stupid roller skates and over-the-top happiness. Actually, Leanne wasn't even sure if it was happiness. Just pure, frenetic energy.

She rolled her eyes. "Goshdarnit Evan, would it kill you to take a nap? Despite the 'very real and present part of me that doesn't want to,' I worry about you. One day, you're going to collapse from not taking care of yourself, and before I help you up, I will laugh, very loudly."

Maternal instincts, Aleks called them. How could she want to throw someone out a window so much and want to give them a hug at the same time?

"Well, sor-ryyy. I thought you would know. And he's... busy." Leanne sniffed disdainfully in the direction of the kitchen. There had better be a pot of tea.

But then, she paused, taking a second to really look at Evan. Something felt off with both him and the house. "Are you okay? You look like you've maybe gotten about five hours of sleep in the past week. And you don't need me to tell you that that isn't good."
