Hey, you guys.

[Sam sounds serious, but there's an anticipation at the edges of her attitude---something in the set of her shoulders, or the hand hovering, half-curled, over her collarbone.]

I've got everything I need, so I'll be ready to try to send a message soon.

[She straightens and smiles, pleased to say:]

As in, within the hour.

[Sam's content to sit quietly for the remainder of the ride, since the ritual results have given her a lot to think about... and will weigh on her mind for a fair few days, with or without the distraction of discussions.]

[Once they've arrived, there's a brief intermission---it's one banana milkshake, plus a ham-and-pineapple pizza, please, boxed up to be taken out---but the contemplation continues; what a day.]

[Wing ordered himself some energon and just...sat with her. He’d fuss a bit, making sure she ordered herself enough for now and later, and when she’d ready he’ll take her back to her room, setting her on her feet at the door with an admonishment to rest.]

[That final admonishment, following the fussing, tips the scales to a small smile and the almost-inevitable:]

Yes, mom. Rest of the night, I'll... Probably read through the book I didn't ready for ritual use, and turn in early. Don't worry; I'm in no danger of overdoing it.
