[OOM-but-not: Five days.]

Meg comes downstairs this evening, knitting bag in hand, considers for a moment, and then selects a comfortable chair not far from the fireplace.

She's working this evening on another scarf, this one a dark purple, worked in cables. It's a complicated pattern, which is good, as it leaves her mind with very little room to think about anything else.

She would not be adverse to company, so long as you don't mind catching her at a good stopping point.

Comments

Meg waits, and eventually she smiles slightly.

"You're welcome to take it if you would like to, or if it's something you can use. And if it's not, well, it won't hurt my feelings."

Finally, Elle's eyes drop, and she only mumbles (not unlike a shy child), "You don't have to."

"I know," Meg says.

"But I want to.

"I like for people to have them."

[ellectrical]

Elle gives a small shrug, and eventually -

"Okay."

She still seems rather convinced this will somehow be the wrong thing to say.

Meg holds the scarf out.

"I hope you'll enjoy it."

[ellectrical]

She takes the scarf, her uncertainty not particularly abated.

After folding it over in her hands a couple of times, she observes in a detached sort of voice, "X likes this color."

[noteful]

"I do, too."

Beat.

"Do you?"

[ellectrical]

The answer isn't automatic, though only because she seems to actually consider the question.

"Yeah."




And then, like she's just remembered- "Thanks."

[noteful]

"You're very welcome, Elle."
