As Elladan is being led, he thinks to himself, remembering a quote he always loved. ‘Pick your battles. Then win them.’ He smiled to himself, savoring his victory, as the baby that was Allie complied with Nana.
Allie looks up. “Where are we going, mommy?” she asks innocently.
Nana replies sweetly, “to the ship baby.”
She nods, holding onto Nana’s hand.
Allie sees the boundary of the doorway … reality ends … she pass through … into another reality.
There are controls, lights, consoles, equipment Elledan has no inkling of understanding. Allie looks at it as an infant would: A bunch of pretty glowing lights. Elladan, on the other hand, is genuinely curious.
Nana leads Allie to a clear tube. She pushes some buttons and the end opens and a very comfortable-looking bed slides out. Nana then picks Allie up gently and puts her on the bed.
Alladan manages to ask a question. “What are those?”
He is set on the bed. It is absolutely the most comfortable thing you have ever sat on.
Nana says softly, “Ok baby lie down now and let Nana hook you up.”
Allie complies and lies down. Elladan waits for his question to be answered, trying not to get too comfy.
Allie, along with his body, giggles. She bounces a bit on the bed.
Allie says happily, “It’s comfy!”
Elladan half only mentally shakes his head.
