Ben's room [Ellis Island, Enderverse, Wednesday afternoon, Fandom time]

[momslilassassin]

Ben finally got his hand extracted from Ender's (he hadn't really been trying that hard while Alai had been visiting), and left the room to give Val (and Alai, sigh, grumble, whatever) some time to spend with Ender as well.

Ben went for a walk, got lost four times, found some food and a shower and finally made his way back to his room.

He sat down in an uncomfortable chair on the theory that if he sat on the bed he'd fall asleep for a week, and began making some long-delayed calls back to Fandom.

With his luck, time had sped up there, he'd been gone for a month, and Karla was after his head...

[OOC: If you think he called you, he did!]

"Maybe the cookies have built up some kind of an immmunity?"

It was a weak joke, but Ben was trying.

"...do you think he actually eats them?" Tony asked, latching onto the normal conversation like a limpet.

"I have no idea," Ben admitted. "I've been kind of afraid to ask."

"Maybe he hides them in his wings."

[momslilassassin]

"That'd be a neat trick," Ben admitted. "The best I could do would be to make people think I'd already eaten them, and that would only work on the weak-minded."

"So, I'm safe?"

[momslilassassin]

There was a slight pause. "Sure!"

He'd never really tried...

"...heeeeey."

[momslilassassin]

"It's not like I've attempted it!" Ben replied.
