Patiently Waiting

[Will Stanton]

As Tereza headed off to try to put Viv on a leash, Will headed back to the Wolf Den, or whatever they were calling the room now.

It was locked, but that wasn't a problem, as Will shrunk down and squeezed herself through the gap between the door and the floor, dusting herself off as she went back to normal size in the room.

She sat down on the bed and waited. Patiently. After a few minutes, she started tapping her foot.

...The corner of the bed wasn't...wasn't quite made. Nope, none of her business, it's fine. Tap tap tap.

...OK, no one's going to mind if she just straightens that up, she thought to herself, and quickly stood up to un-tuck and re-tuck the blanket. There.

...A couple loose hairs. No matter, she can pick those up real quick. She placed her hand on them and absorbed the stray wolf hairs, leaving the blanket clean. Perfect.

She sat down and started waiting again, patiently. Tap-ta-tap-tap-tap.

...The corner of a shirt was sticking out of one of the dresser drawers. OK, that's easy enough to fix, she reasoned, going over, taking a few out and refolding them. And while she was doing that, she might as well pick up those dirty clothes over there....ah, THERE was Tereza's shower stuff, so she could tidy that up...

And so Will kept herself occupied.
