Heyyy, I actually did another scene in Timothy's sublet after all! One last chance to draw all that soft pastel furniture.

With a bonus background appearance of Timothy's Friend With A Car. Possibly soon to be More-Than-Friend With A Car.

There are a bunch of characters who never got big romantic subplots -- Sparrow, Miranda, and Timothy all come to mind. But with Timothy in particular, I wanted to leave readers with the feeling that s/he was on the verge of starting one.

Evening — a call between two cities.

Bianca: Hey, Patrick! Is everyone with you? How did it go?

Patrick: Hi! I think we won!

We split up — I’m at Timothy’s place. You could probably tell by how I’m Skyping from Timothy’s phone.

Timothy: There was a successful jailbreak of the last two kidnapped Beings. Miranda’s rendezvousing with Dr. Gaillard to patch their Contracts.

And while Reseda and Kara Lynn were providing backup for the flashy distracting shapeshifter fight . . . Jany and I snuck around and packed up all her stuff. Also — gave away the phone Walker got her.

We’re getting her on a flight back to the UK first thing in the morning. With the help of my — uh — friend! A work friend. I trust her. She’s already been good about my gender . . . stuff. And on a practical note, she has a car.

Bianca: “First thing in the morning” . . . so is your Trustworthy Work Friend With A Car staying there overnight?

Timothy: Shhh! Not yet.
