"Shit… are they okay? Will the FSB leave eventually?" Lloyd asked, a bit nervous. "Should…. should we be worried or is this normal?"
"Shit… are they okay? Will the FSB leave eventually?" Lloyd asked, a bit nervous. "Should…. should we be worried or is this normal?"
"I… I don't know… my mother said that everything is okay for the time being, but I'm not so sure… This has never happened before either." Irene kept looking down at her hands then around the room, possibly attempting to draw her attention to something else.
Lloyd moved over to Irene and hugged her, wrapping his blanket around the both of them. "I'm sure they'll be okay, Rea…" He said softly. "From what I know about your parents, they'll do everything in their power to keep each other safe."
Irene curled up and hugged Lloyd back semi-tightly. "Thanks… they probably will be… and I know they will try their best to protect each other, but I can't shake the thought that I could be without my parents for a long time…"
"Well, I promise to try my best to help take care of you if that's the case…" Lloyd hugged her tightly. "Shit and all, we'll always take care of each other."
Irene smiled. "Thank you, Lloyd. And that's definitely for sure."
Lloyd nodded. "But I'm sure they're okay, of course…"
"Probably…" Irene sat there hugging Lloyd for a bit before she sighed. "Don't get me wrong this is really comforting and nice, but I'm honestly a little bored…"
"Yeah… is there anything you want to do?" Lloyd pulled away from the hug to look at Irene.
"Well… I honestly don't know. I guess I only really do stuff alone, not really any two-or-more-person things…"
"Same, but for me the activity is just reading textbooks and dictionaries alone in my room." Lloyd laughed weakly.
"Hmm, we could make a fort in the studio… I don't know…" Irene looked up at the ceiling once again this time to try to think of an idea.
"If you want. I'm open to just about anything. Preferably not going outside again, though…"
"That is what I was thinking. You know what, let's go build a fort! Is that too childish?"
"I never did it as a kid, so it could be fun." Lloyd shrugged and stood up, dusting himself off and going upstairs with Irene.
Once they got to the studio, Irene looked around. "Okay, so there's a couch, 4 beanbags, and some pillows in here… I think we should get some more blankets, pillows, and couch cushions. I'll get some from my room, could you get our blankets and some cushions from the living room?"
"Sure." Lloyd went back downstairs and grabbed as many blankets and cushions as he could carry before making his way back upstairs. "Is this enough?"
Irene wasn't in the studio when Lloyd got up, but she came in a few seconds later with her arms full of blanket and pillows. "Whew, here are all the things from my room that we can use."
"Is this enough?" Lloyd asked, setting down the blankets and cushions he'd gathered.
"Oh yeah, probably. So I don't know how we should start it though… maybe use the couch as a starting place and go from there?"
"Dunno why you're asking me, I have no clue. Although, I am taking engineering… gimme the beanbags." Lloyd started building a base for the fort.
"That's why I was asking you." Irene giggled while handing him the beanbags.
Lloyd laced the pillows so they were more stable and draped the blankets over top the whole thing to dome it off. "I have made a… uh… mediocre pillow igloo."
"Ooo!" Irene crawled in. "Wow! This is actually really good!"
"Thanks?" Lloyd crawled into the fort as well. "See, the structural integrity of pillows compared to bricks is… well, pathetic, so unfortunately this structure won't last near as long."
