Sep. 6th, 2006 07:09 pmKim and Paul have very little trouble finding their rooms; they're side by side, as they were in the palace at Fionavar, and their magically provided keys slide easily into the locks.
The rooms themselves are comfortably bland - more like a Hilton than the palace, here - and it doesn't take Paul long to take stock, assess his surroundings for possible items of import, and then go over to knock on Kim's door.

"Romeo?"

Date: 2006-09-07 02:45 am (UTC)As he'd expected, it looks essentially the same as his. (Thoguh it's odd, somehow, to walk into Kim's room and see no signs of Jen.)

"Depending on how long we're here, of course."

"Not unless you can take us out."

Date: 2006-09-07 03:29 am (UTC)"Not in Fionavar and not now. I don't know what unleashed it, but I can't just wave my hand and make it work."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-07 03:37 am (UTC)"Something's meant to happen here. We wouldn't be here otherwise."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-07 04:17 am (UTC)Kim offers him a rueful smile.
"Then again, I could probably say that about any number of things that have happened to us since May, couldn't I?"

"It all means something. We just need to figure it out."

"Somehow."

Date: 2006-09-07 05:25 am (UTC)He straightens, pushing off from the desk.
"Probably best if we get sleep."

Date: 2006-09-07 05:56 am (UTC)Kim gives him a mischievous half-smile.
"You'll have to make sure it's suitably adventurous when you tell him about it."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-07 06:00 am (UTC)A pause, and he feels his face pulling into yet another unaccustomed smile.
"Not, of course, that I am suggesting any of those things.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-07 06:05 am (UTC)"Of course not. We should have brought Kevin."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-07 06:13 am (UTC)"Pleasant dreams, Kim."

Date: 2006-09-07 06:25 am (UTC)"You too."
