Natalie's Apartment, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Saturday
Well, this was one way of recuperating from any work stress that may have been happening, as well as the stress of wondering whether some birthday gifts had been a good idea. How had Natalie not thought of this before?
Oh, right. It was because turning into an eight-year-old wasn't exactly within her usual abilities. And wasn't something she would've chosen, anyway. But here it was. She'd gone to bed a young woman in her late teens, and woken up a kid. She'd still gotten up at around the same time, but then she'd put on her fake glasses and started on a different kind of day. One that – as Peter would probably be thankful for – was unlikely to involve going outside the apartment much. Or at all. There was plenty to explore right here! And, there was Mr. Moxy. And Natalie knew you had to take good care of pets, and she'd never had one, and she was going to take advantage of a situation where she could care for one.
Mr. Moxy, of course, couldn't muster up being confused by this turn of events. He was a Fandom cat, these things happened. As long as he was getting fed, he was fine.

The photos on her phone had probably been turned kiddie-safe the way everyone's weapons had, but no one needed to know that.

"You want me to make a trip out there with ice cream?" he asked, amused.
no subject
She was so sweet. No really, she actually was. That was utterly sincere.

"I'll come bring you ice cream, if you want. I'm not doing anything right now. I'll just have to get the ice cream."

He hung up the phone and shook his head. And then it was off to get some ice cream and some candy for her before he headed to Haiti.

They were going to ask Jim whether she wasn't feeling well or something. Because she sounded weird.

When the security guys asked after Natalie, he told them she had a cold and was losing her voice. They seemed to accept that and they let him up.
He knocked on the door and waited.

"Hi."

"Hey, Natalie," he said, nodding. "And Moxy. Can I come in? I got the ice cream."
no subject
She was so serious about being polite.

Well, she'd managed to spend time with Jim for the better part of a year now. Guess it was time for the Todd thing to come up.

"He lives next door," Natalie said. "We play all the time."
no subject
"Sounds like a cool dude." Well, he didn't know what else to say there. "He called you today?"
