Quiet Rooms

May finds herself in one of the quiet cabins after breakfast with a book in her hand. She was settling into life on board the train easily enough. She was glad that Peter was there with her so she didn't have to worry about him at home by himself. Also, she was internally grateful to Mr Stark for keeping an eye on him when she couldn't. It was a debt she wouldn't repay anytime soon. Of course, everyone else she had met so far seemed quite nice. She was looking forward to properly meeting everyone else though.

Meal Area

After finishing up in the quiet room, she made her way to the kitchen where she put together a bowl of salad and grabbed a can of tuna to add to it, one of the few things she could successfully make. The meal in hand, she settled at one of the tables and flipped through the network to see what she had missed.

Comments

"If it helps I'm o the opinion we don't actually leave when you come here. I don't know exactlu it works bjt Peter never went missing and he comes from before I do.

Oddly enough, that didn't make Danny feel much better. Mostly because he had an idea of what was involved in his own universe when time shenanigans were happening.

And it never, ever, ended well.

"Peter?" Wasn't that the guy that had been there when he had failed to walk through the wall?

"So I don't have to worry about flunking tenth grade? That's something, I guess."

"Parker, he's my nephew and has been here for a bit," May explains.

"No, you don't have to worry about failing which must be a relief."

[schrodingersghost]

"Well, my sister is less likely to lecture me when I get home. So that's a major plus."

He shrugs. "We've met. Sort of." At the time he'd mostly been trying to find a way to get out of a very awkward conversation.

"That's cool, though. I don't think I've met anyone else here yet who has family here."

[mayp]

"That is a plus yes," she agreed with a nod. "He's a good kid. I'm sure he'd like to get to know you." Of course May was probably biased when it came to her nephew but who wouldn't be?

"I hope more people get family here, it is nice and I imagine it makes it easier."

Danny briefly considers the possibility of his parents arriving on the train and cringes.

They were his parents and he loved them, but...

He suddenly remembered the time he'd disappeared for one afternoon and they'd started towing a billboard sized photo of him through the city streets while calling his name through a bullhorn.

And that wasn't even getting into the issues with being half-ghost around them.

"Actually, I'm kind of hoping the rest of my family stays safe at home.

[mayp]

If she had known what he was thinking she would agree. There was overprotective and there was overprotective and she liked to think she fell either in the first one or just shy of it. Or at least she used too. She had come to the conclusion there was no point coddling Peter, he would still do his thing but she would keep trying.

"Well that's fair, not everyone is close to their family. Do you at least have someone here to look out for you?"

[schrodingersghost]

"It's more like my parents don't really do subtle. Or quiet. Or trapped in small areas with lots of people."

He shrugs awkwardly. "No, I'm here alone. But I'm sure it will be fine."

He was perfectly capable of taking care of himself, despite what his sister said.

May frowns at that. You should at least try for your child. "Well if you need anything let me know? No one should be truly alone," she says concern lacing her voice.
