Fourth Floor Common Room | Sunday Evening | January 10

Hayley was, thankfully, not making a giant mess in the common room again. This time she just had a bowl of popcorn sitting mostly untouched on a coffee table. Hayley herself was draped over a couch, debating if she should call some of the people that'd left her messages yesterday back again.

Yeah, no one had told her those weren't intended for her.

For now, she had a 'Man vs Food' marathon on the TV, though it was mostly unwatched. She kept dozing off. The couch was just that comfy.

She bobbed her head and went to do just that, leaving Helen to her thoughts while the water heated and Hinata puttered around the kitchen, digging out cookies and arranging them on a plate as well as getting come sugar and milk, in case Helen wanted any.

Balancing this all on a tray, once the tea was ready, she came back. "A-Ano, I didn't know if you liked anything in your tea," Hinata said, setting the tray on a nearby coffee table and offering her a cup. "But I b-brought a few things if you wanted to add them."

Sugar, milk, honey...

"Thank you," Helen said quietly. She took the cup and added milk and sugar to it before taking a sip. "It is quite good."

"Are you feeling a bit better now?" she asked gently. "You had a bit of a shock, I th-think."

"I am," Helen said softly. "I... I never thought that perhaps here I could now do things that were forbidden there. Which is ridiculous. There are so many things I did despite what they said, but this... Perhaps I never did because I feared what would happen to the pet when it was found out. But here... they would have no control."

"N-No control," she said carefully. "And I do not think anyone would allow anything bad to happen to you on island if th-they tried--especially not for something like a pet. People are fond of th-their pets here."

Helen nodded, still a bit stunned by the idea. She sipped her tea to help compose herslf. "Yes. Thank you, Hinata."

"You're welcome," she said quietly, sipping at her own tea. "I do hope you consider it."

"I will," Helen assured her. "I will."

Hinata nodded.

"If you'd like to t-talk about it at anytime," she suggested tentatively, "I would be willing to listen."

"I think I would like that," Helen said. "Perhaps, perhaps you could help me decide what I should get."

"I would be honoured to help," she said sincerely, smiling over the rim of her cup. "It would be my pleasure."

"Thank you," Helen said quietly. "You are very kind."
