If I could go back in time and shove myself in a closet for the entirety of those days, I think I just might.
( He says it easily, trying not to sound too disheartened. The mistakes he made during the week try to snag at his thoughts but Charles has spent ten years putting certain people out of his mind and he won't be beat now.
He just wishes he could do something to help the woman beside him. Frustration wells, he feels so powerless. And isn't that a kick in the teeth? ) I'm glad you answered. I'm glad you're here.
( Another sip of his tea, gaze soft and thoughtful where it rests upon her. ) If only because you're brightening my day with such a lovely dress. I feel like I'm putting us to shame.
( vanessa is also starting to feel glad that she answered. this man had so easily brightened her day before and though the effect isn't quite so instantaneous this time, they've both been affected by something, she feels some of that same pleasure again now )
Nonsense. ( you may only have a jumpsuit, as she previously had, but it didn't make the man. he was too wonderful regardless ) I discovered it in my room after the music had stopped. A token from home, I suppose. Many people seem to be discovering such things.
( His eyebrow lifts slightly at that. He thinks of the serum. )
Ah yes, Hank and I found something from home too. I confess I was a bit unnerved to know they're able to do that, but the relief far outweighed my suspicions.
( He likes being able to walk. Which brings him back to the fact he's running out. )
( vanessa shares the sentiment. though she'd tried not to think too much about how it had happened, assuming that the items had been brought in the same way that they had been. it was strange though, somewhat unsettling, particularly when the items weren't just how they'd been left )
I couldn't say. ( if only she did know. it was a strange thing ) I have discovered things of mine twice now. Once in my room and once in the mess hall. I can only guess at whether more items will arrive.

Do they do it often, do you know? Is it random?
