It's complicated

[happy_dsign]

Daphne had shown Bay around the compound, given her a quick run-down on island life, and then Bay had decided to go explore the carnival that she'd abruptly appeared in on her own, much to Daphne's relief. She needed time to process this new development, to decide how she felt about Bay's presence here. Of all the people who could show up, it had to be Bay.

She went into her room, glancing at the empty bed across the way that would be housing Bay at least for a couple of days before unpacking the Deafenstein t-shirt that had appeared that morning, a present from her best friend that she couldn't even thank him for. She changed into the shirt, smoothing her hand down the front, and then looked around the room before sighing and going back out into the hallway. She thought for a moment, then went next door and knocked on the doorframe, hoping Dairine was there.

Daphne will miss most of what goes on after the knock--the hollered, "Just a minute!" and the clatter of a stack of books falling off something, though the last at least might shake the door a little. So it's a longer than usual moment's wait before the door swings open, and Dairine, looking a bit mad-scientist, pokes her head out.

"Hi," she says, signing that part at the same time. What's up?
