Moonlight Nocturne

She beams and snuggles into them both, kissing Miriam's jaw happily. "You're the best."

She still smells faintly of antiseptic and pain, and her hand is swelling up, but she looks happy.

 

Miri kisses her nose and gently pulls her in closer, feeding her fries.

 

Elena eats them happily, leaning into her side. "... I kind of cracked my ribs. And my hand. So I have to sit around until they get better."

 

"What'd you break on 'em when you hurt your hand?" Miri looks at her with bright-eyed interest.

 

"Um... Two noses. I'm not sure which one broke my hand." She beams at Miriam. "... I kicked one of them in the junk, too."

 

Miri gives an approving grin, kissing her again.

Nick ruffles her hair in what cannot be denied as an approving manner.

 

Elena kisses Miriam back, basking in their approval as she snuggles in closer. They're the best.

Peter would have been so disappointed in her.

 

The rest of the night is full of food, carbonated drinks, junk food, and explosions!

 

It's an awesome night. Elena falls asleep in a happy pile of pillows and pack, sprawled across them both.

 

The next day, they wake to a late breakfast, with Nick managing to wrangle scrambled eggs and turkey sausages.

 

Elena cuddles sleepily into Miriam, muffling a whimper of pain as the movement tugs at her cracked ribs. "... Miri? Breakfast?"

 

Miri hugs her gently. "....Nick'll bring breakfast in. The old people are all at work already, so... just don't spill."

 

She yawns. "... Okay. Do we have to-- oh. No school. Right."

"... what do we do all day?"

 

".. exercise. Hang out. Lou gives me homework and stuff... Natasha and Gabe'll probably have him come over later?"

 

"... do you think he's going to be pissed at me?"

 

"...why should he be?" Miri squeezes Elena's less-injures hand.

 

New "... he might think I got expelled on purpose? I didn't. But... I don't really mind that much."

Elena beams and kisses her cheek. "... can we practice hunting?"

 

"Mmmmh..." She grins crookedly. "Yeah. I'd like that! Rabbits?"

 

"Yeah! How do we catch rabbits? Should we bring Nick?" She bounces happily, breath catching when her ribs protest.
