That shouldn't be there either. At least, I don't remember putting it there. Or his bed in the living room. [She massages her temples.] I don't even remember coming to see you last night. Or any reason why I would need to stay the night.
I don't think so. [She pats herself down for a moment, shakes her head, and then croons to her puppy, who trots over and lets his human pet him down too.] We're both fine.
[She purses her lips.]
You don't think we went through something similar to Lucy, do you? Except on a much smaller scale?
No, I don't think so. That was a while ago, and I remember most everything that's happened since then. I had a 4th of July party a little early, Freya and Lucy moved in, and...yeah.
[Pen does immediately start for the electric kettle, flipping it on for tea. She's conscious of friend's likes and dislikes. And tea...oh it's so much better than coffee.]
...Hell, it really is a monthly pattern, isn't it?
No, it doesn't. It feels like a steady stream, but there's definitely a pattern of things happening on the first of each month now that you mention it.
Just...arguing over not remembering how we stopped arguing. I said something insensitive. I owe her an apology. But I think...once we've cooled off some, we'll be good.

[Pen shrugs, apathetic, and drops down to give Koro a scratch as he goes for his water bowl.
And then that catches up with her...]
...Your dog has a water bowl in my kitchen...what the fuck? Not that I mind, but, what?

[The bed for the dog is weird...]
Freya and I don't remember last night either. But we're all here? It's...weird but you and Koro aren't hurt, ya?

[Their trip to Bosuma was a while ago, though...]

[Pen says that much rather emphatically.]
No, I don't think so. That was a while ago, and I remember most everything that's happened since then. I had a 4th of July party a little early, Freya and Lucy moved in, and...yeah.

Right, then I'll just. Assume this is part of what's happening for the month for now, then.

It's been part of our lives for so long that it doesn't really seem like it actually comes in cycles, does it.
no subject
No, it doesn't. It feels like a steady stream, but there's definitely a pattern of things happening on the first of each month now that you mention it.

[She'll tell Ragna this later, too, but she feels okay with admitting it to Pen.]
The worst thing, I think, is that this time it happened to us while we were asleep.
[It's just like having a body transformation. It's something that can't be stopped, done in the dark of the night.]
no subject
[Stooping while the kettle starts up, scratching at Koro's back and giving him attention he definitely deserves.]
But you're not hurt or anything, right? Nausea, headache, anything?
no subject
[Koromaru huffs happily under the attention, his tail wagging as he gives Pen a few licks over her face.]
Really tempted to go back to sleep after tea, though. I'm usually a late riser.
no subject
[Pen giggles a bit, nuzzling the pooch.]
But the pupper stays out here with me so I can give him attention and treats.

[When the kettle goes off, Minako pours the water into their mugs, cupping hers between her hands to soak in the heat.]
And speaking of significant others...
[She tilts her head a bit, waiting for Pen to answer, whatever that answer may be.]
no subject
[Yeah. Yeah Minako had heard, right?]
Just...arguing over not remembering how we stopped arguing. I said something insensitive. I owe her an apology. But I think...once we've cooled off some, we'll be good.
Just. Fuck Retrospec, man.
no subject
Hang in there.
[There's very little else she feels she can do or say, in the face of that.]
no subject
[She grins.]
I love her. She loves me. In the end, we'll work through anything. Don't worry.

...Have you talked to your boy today? he might be wondering.
no subject
No...first instinct was to come out ready for a fight. I should go tell him I'm okay before he tears up the apartment looking for me.

[BREATHE.]
I'll make pancakes, eggs, and bacon. So stay hungry.
