"For you? I'll get the world." (Part of future past TP. 8x8.)

Location

<BOM> House of Leaves - Ascension Island


A small log cabin halfway between the main clearing and the beach, this little lodge is nestled alongside a twist in the stream. A large mulberry tree by the water has had a tire swing hung down over the creek; its branches seem in occasional need of pruning for how they butt up against the side of the cabin.

Inside, the cabin is small and neat. Its entry room is a small sitting space, an eclectic host of artwork hanging on the walls. It holds an old but very comfortable black leather couch, a sunny yellow throw rug in front of the fireplace, a pair of large bookshelves on the back wall, a small oak coffee table in front of the sofa. A little dining table along the left side wall stands next to a window; pushed up against the wall, it has room for only three chairs. There's a tiny kitchenette off in the back.

The right wall has a door leading to the bedroom. Its queen-sized bed is usually covered in an abundance of pillows and blankets, bright yellow and dark blue. A desk stands against the window, often littered with books and notes. The bathroom is small, tiled in pale stone, with a claw-footed bathtub.

"Guardians." There's a wry amusement to Regan's tone.

"{Fucking ballsy.}" A wing draped over her shoulder.

Lean back. Eyes closed. "Not here. Not yet."

"Five years..." Dusk's wing tightens. "Maybe not ever."

Blue eyes fix on the computer screen, thoughtful.

Dusk's track down, too. "What do you need?"

A small smile. "Everything you can get me."

A nip. "For you? I'll get the world."
