The next morning, when Isolde wakes up, Wanda is sitting outside the cell with a paper bag in one hand. "Good morning," she says, smiling at Isolde.

Isolde slowly stirs, sitting up.

"I swear, whatever deviltry they put into the fabric makes these suits hellish to sleep in."

"...how long have you been there?"

"Long enough to let Tereza out. I decided I'd let you sleep until I was worried about the food getting cold," she says, holding up the paper bag.

"She was indeed. Radiating smugness if such a radiation is possible." She steps up and undoes the lock on the cell, "I take it you told her."

"Guess you wanted to keep it from her just to be difficult at first," she smirks, reaching into the bag to pull out some sort of breakfast burrito thing and handing the rest of the bag over to Isolde.

"She doesn't have to know. It's not as if I'm planning out double-dates or anything," she says as she takes the bag and sniffs at it before withdrawing its contents.

It seemed to be breakfast food, heavy on the breakfast meat. "Of course not. But we are planning on some dates right," she teases.
