"..I'm trying."

She looks over and sighs. "Hellooo, Russ."

Stephen wants to stay out of that mess.

"I know you are." She lays her head on him.
--
"What's on your mind?" He leans on the back of the couch.
--
Rufus sighs. ".. We'll be on our way soon. Stephen, come up here with me." He heads for the deck.

---
"Just stuff. How are you?"

She kisses his cheek.
--
"Just fiiine, as always." He reaches to curl a finger in her hair.
--
To the deck! Rufus has cleared a spot and has constructed what looks like a large iron dog crate. He gestures towards it, grinning. "Well? What do you think?"

He smiles slightly and looks out the window again.
---
"Hey, don't mess with my hair!" She reaches up to swat at his hands.

He sees the crate and takes a step backwards, his face paling. "...Eh... what?"

Kiss kiss. "I want you to feel better."
--
He pouts.
--
"Easy, easy. Come look at this." He walks over to it and crouches down, pointing at the door. "It locks from the inside. And it only opens if you're human and can work the combination. Think of it as a safety room."

"Be nice to the hair." She pats her hair.

"I was being nice."

"No one can lock you in. Only you can do that."

"I'll be the judge of that."

"You promise? This isn't some sort of Stephen trap?"

She nods.

Sigh! "Fiiine. I won't touch your hair."

"Aw, don't be a grouch."

"But it's a cage."

"I'm not." He drops the newspaper on her.

"It's to protect you."
