He isn't going to keep carrying around Baby's inert mobile forever. That'd just be morbid.

But he tried keeping it in his room upstairs, and that's worse somehow. It looks like a toy, sitting there. Like nothing that was ever really important.

So he's bringing it downstairs to try to find somewhere better to keep it. Maybe a shrine over the bar, like the memorial for Bernard and Tonks, if Bar herself wouldn't find that too painful. Or maybe in the Security office, in a storage closet there or something, so that if Baby ever -- if she ever does come back --



Right now Andrew's sitting by the fireplace, watching the fish swim in and out of the flames, with a mug of Irish coffee in his hand and a little metallic arachnoid in his lap.

Botherable.

"It hasn't been that long, though", is all he can offer in the way of reassurance, though it's not the first time he's said it. "Maybe she's still in hibernation, or something."

"Want me to try?" he offers. "I know she was closer to you, but it might be worth it once, just to see."

"Okay." He reaches out and strokes the little spider, briefly. "Just tell me what to do."

Jonathan nods and follows towards the office.

"Any supplies we need to pick up first?"

"I know", he says softly. "He could have fixed this. But without him... we'll just have to do our best."

Jonathan steps into the little room after him, peering around.

"Never knew this was here. What's it for?"

Jonathan moves closer to study it, eyes widening.

"This is amazing work. But then... Tim."

He nods.

"You got good service out of it when you needed it, at least."

"Will do." He scans over the book quickly, moving to settle down in a corner. "Looks straightforward. So I guess we'll see."

Jonathan reads dutifully.

He isn't sure what's supposed to happen, except that maybe the little mobile will start moving again.

"Baby?" Jonathan tries in turn, standing up and stretching before he heads over to Andrew's corner. "C'mon, wake up."

"And we came back, like we promised." He crouches to rest a hand on the mobile, stroking it like a pet.
