Chapter 213: Day 212

Day 212,

Once again, Maiko was back in the morning.  Not sure if she’s really good at getting in here quietly or if I’m just that deep of a sleeper.  Could be both I suppose.

I asked her how her night was but didn’t ask where she’d spent it.

Decent.

I asked how her time with Lin was.

A smile, easy to miss if you don’t know her.

Good.

I didn’t ask for elaboration on either answer.  If she ever wants to say more about it, she will.  Not a good strategy for most people, but it seems to work for her.

A lazy day, all told.  We did get back into our old ritual of laundry and fishing.  I stayed near, or at least in sight of, Maiko the whole time so no spritely visitations.  I’d considered returning to my old laundry spot in the stream, but didn’t want to worry Maiko.  Truth be told, I’m not sure I even could make myself get any work done there, but I need to try eventually.
