Sonia is resting sulkily on the ground, breathing heavily. (This is pretty much what happens when you have giant second trimester belly. It is still v. annoying.)

*facepalm*

Yes, that is entirely possible.

"Actually, I'm not sure that will work. It just harnesses the heat...not the light."

Because isn't it the light that kills them? Angela is sure that's a factor.

"No...it's stored in vessels that retain heat. But...not like fire and not like light."

Clear? As mud.

"'Fraid not. Just good for heat and hot water and running the lights and stuff."

"Nope. It just takes the warmth and saves it."

Angela doesn't understand it all fully herself! She was never good in science.

Angela smiles sheepishly. "Sorry for breaking your brain."

"I can imagine," she says. "I'm sure there will be more. I just...try not to think about the stuff that confuses me too much."

Angela nods. "It's good policy, in general. But...chances are, you're going to be here for a while, so you'll have time to understand things."

"Exactly," Angela says.

"Till then, I'd just try and take care of yourself, and the baby."

Angela tentatively puts an arm around the other woman. "It's going to be okay," she promises. "We're all supposed to help each other here, aren't we?"

Otherwise, what's the point of everyone living so close?

"Yeah, but you'll be able to again. It's sort of hard to lean on other people, isn't it?"

[identity profile] angela-edmunds.livejournal.com 2008-09-25 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, then you can repay the leaning with being leaned on later?"

"Yeah...we kind of learned our lesson about going out in the world beyond the farm a few months ago."

She sighs. "Zombies are so not fun."

"Well, it would definitely be more difficult with this belly of yours."

She grins a little. "Maybe you should find a hobby that isn't fighting."
