Rand shook her head, “No, it shouldn’t take me long.” She took the blanket off the bed, folded it and set it on the table. She took Roman’s PaDD and inserted a data disk. She worked at the table where Hart could watch. She saved everything that wasn’t his books to the disk, then removed library access, and removed the disk and set it in the desk drawer.

Then she went to the closet and knelt down. Carefully she opened Roman’s violin case and removed everything that was not the violin, bow, and resin. She set everything she took out carefully into one of his storage bins. She brought the case out and set it, open on the table as well. The next part took the longest.

She found Pipkin’s travel crate, extra water bottle, food dish, litter box. She filled small containers with bedding, food, and hay. She pulled out a small brush and a few new toys. She set it all on the table. Everything, minus the food, was brand new and never been opened. “We’ve never had to take her anywhere. I can set it all up if you prefer, but I thought Roman might want to.”

“I agree that he should do it himself,” Leah said with a nod. She wanted to give him as much agency as she could under the circumstances. He had more than he believed, and that might seem on the surface, but it was allowing him to flex that agency at opportune moments that would allow them to proceed with his path forward in a positive way.

“Just pass me whatever you need me to carry and we’ll get this cleared and sorted.”

Rand took an empty duffel and put the rabbit stuff all together, then put the blanket and PaDD in a different one. Then closed the violin case. “Okay, all ready.” She kept the violin and one of the duffels and handed the other to Hart. She knew she wouldn’t be allowed to see Roman again, but she didn’t mind helping carry everything back down.

Leah took the proffered item and together they made they way back to the temp quarters. She set the duffle down so security could screen everything and turned to Rand. “So, come on by for breakfast in the morning. You can make him tea. As mentioned, I won’t make promises about what tomorrow will or will not look like, but he and I are going to do some more work together so I can finish the eval and then we’ll go from there. But if anything changes in the interim, I’ll let you know.”
