Knocking on the door to the room Autumn shared with Tohr, she waited for her mahmen to answer. They hadn't had a chance to spend any time together in the last couple weeks, but since they both had a free night, she figured it was as good a time as any.

She looked up at the knock, and finished braiding her hair as she walked over, tying it off before opening the door, and smiling as she saw Xhex on the other side. "Good eve, daughter mine. It has been too long. How fare thee?"

She smiled and leaned against the door jamb. "I'm good. You?" Autumn looked good, happy. It surprised her, actually, how good her mahmen's happiness made her feel.

She smiled wider. "I am good as well. Quite good indeed." She gestured with a hand toward the room. "Would you like to come in? Or mayhap take a walk?"

Nodding, she went into the room and sat down in a comfortable chair. "I was thinking you might like to watch a movie with me tonight. We can gorge on heavily buttered popcorn and candy. If you don't choose something too sappy, I'll even let you pick the movie." She smiled at that, thinking that it'd be nice to do something they hadn't done for awhile.

She smiled, thought as she went to join Xhex. "Have you heard of...Monty...ah...Python, I believe it is? Tohrment had me watch it once, it was quite clever."

She laughed and shook her head. "Clever is a good word for it. Monty Python is perfect, one of my favorites. We can go in a minute, if you need to finish whatever it was you were doing before I showed up. I don't want to interrupt anything."

She touched her braid and checked the tie, then looked down at the oversize sweater and her yoga pants, considering them, then shook her head and smiled. "I believe I am...all set?"

Smiling, she stood, leading the way from the room. "I am still getting used to you wearing clothes other than that black robe you used to always wear. Its kind of nice to see you looking comfortable, both inside and out." She looked over at her mahmen as they walked down the hall to the theater. "Tohr's really good for you. I like that."

She smiled and looked down at her clothes again, smoothing her hands over them. The sweater was one of the first things Tohrment had bought her, hence the size. He'd been going for loose and "comfy", but, like the dress he'd bought her, had overshot the size a bit, but still, she loved it, and it had the desired effect. Thick and soft, it remained one of the most comfortable clothing items she possessed.
"I must admit, they are much more comfortable and practical than my sheaths and cloak. It is still odd at times to be without my cowl, but Tohr would always have me leave it down, anyway." She smiled softly, "As do I. And to think I had thought myself content to be as I was." She chuckled quietly in disbelief at herself as she shook her head, her braid gently swaying behind her.

Entering the theater, she held the door open for Autumn and led the way to the collection of movies in various formats. While they searched for Monty Python, she glanced over at Autumn. "I don't know if I've told you, but I'm glad that you came. No matter how content you thought you were, something made you come to see me. Not to be cliche about this week, but I think I'll be forever thankful for that."

She smiled, those words touching her heart more than she could say, certainly without making Xhex uncomfortable. But then, because of Xhex's gift, sometimes words were unnecessary.
However, they were necessary when giving credit where it was due. "As shall I. But I cannot take all the credit for the decision. We have Payne to thank for inspiring me, and giving me the courage to take that step. And I shall e'er be grateful to her for that. As the risk of being cliche as well, I wouldn't have missed any of this for the world."

Grinning, she grabbed the movie. "Then we shall have a popcorn toast to Payne, as thanks." Setting everything up, she and Autumn scooped popcorn and grabbed the other snacks they wanted. Settling into seats as the previews started, she looked at Autumn. "What was the part you liked best when Tohr had you watch the movie?"

She chewed a kernel absently as she thought, then smiled. "The killer rabbit."

She laughed and nodded. "That is a good part. I like the witch part and the Trojan rabbit that they forget to get into." As the movie started, she leaned back and picked up a handful of popcorn. This was good. A quiet night watching a movie and laughing with her mahmen. She thought this is what normal must be like.

She laughed. "Oh, yes, that was very funny as well!"
As they ate and laughed, she glanced at her daughter a moment, then smiled and turned back to the screen. To think of all she could have missed. Namely: Life. Yes, it had been hard, to say the least, to reach this point, but it had been more than worth it, for moments like this.
