It had been a very very very interesting and confusing time for the past few days.
For certain it had placed Tambrey, in some respects, in a better place and mood than she been in, and allowed her, or perhaps forced her, to abandon some of the strains that sleepless nights and extracurricular research had been causing her...
In other respects... It had made some aspects entirely worse, for those who might know how to spot them.
KO was -not- dead; this was good, she had her friend and colleague back. She was happy about such a fact.
KO was -not- dead; this threw her off her game; made her question her judgement, what she knew about... a lot of things. And, subtly, perhaps, ate at the idea that she'd wasted time on some of the subjects she'd pursued. She hadn't, in fact, done a thing to help. In fact, that too, was an issue; the guilt over not getting him out of there faster, when she'd thought he'd died, had crystallized somewhat into something... different, yet feeling quite the same.
What had /happened/ to Kirk?
It was a mystery with more mysteries on top, and not enough clues or cues, yet, to offer many answers...
There were other things now, too; things she'd neglected, and things she wanted to do, that could take their place.
Overall, she wanted to talk to her friend, her partner, about all she could. Talking to Aulus had helped before, more than once. Almost as though feeling she'd needed an excuse, too, though she supposed she didn't, she'd mentioned needing to ask a favour in the 'dex message she'd sent him, on the way back to her room. It wasn't long before she was knocking on the door from the bathroom.
For once, none of her pokémon, except a sleeping Palu in the corner of her room, were out of their balls.

She'd been grateful for the reply, and further appreciative to enter and find Aulus already had tea and biscuits just about ready. She supposed she should have learned to expect something like that by now, but it was still a nice surprise.
"I... um, I hope I didn't interrupt anything important?" She queried, wondering what he'd been doing /before/ he'd gone into tea-making mode. A glance around the room to see if she could spot anything obviously abandoned, but couldn't see anything that suggested as much. From what she could tell, Aulus could have been doing anything or nothing. "Or, uh, intrude on your time off?" She'd entered a little further- sure he had tea out, but if he was busy and had been being polite, she could take into her room or something. Vaguely she wondered -why- such thoughts were cropping up now; she was usually confident Aulus didn't mind.

Aulus smiled warmly, the expression softening his scarred features from their neutral 'I might be rather angry' setting. "Psh, you're never intruding if I say 'come in' not 'bugger off'. Seen as you ask though I was writing a report," he waved at the closed laptop, "important but it was neither urgent nor thrilling, so," he waved at the tea set up of neatly made bed and beanbag, "pick a seat. Sometimes I wonder if I should get actual chairs other than the computer chair." That would mean money though and he was trying to keep on saving up for a mega stone for Tortie, and then he'd need one for Red, and he wanted one for Juno.... Yeah, he wasn't going to have disposable income for a long time.
Anyway though, that was an issue for another time. Right now he wanted to know what Tambery wanted, and he also wanted to know why she was hesitating rather than just wandering in and sitting down. "So what's up?" Aulus asked as he headed over to his mini fridge to get out the milk.

Tambrey smiled gratefully, and headed for the beanbag. Sure, there was the bed, and she -never- minded other people or pokémon or the like on /her/ bed, yet she couldn't shake, when it came to other peoples', that a bed was rather personal. They were specifically for sleeping, really, after all of course.
Besides. She liked the beanbag. "Aw, but I like the beanbag..." She voiced allowed, then watched as he moved to get the milk, considering how to answer that question.
"Uh... Beside the obvious?" She smiled, a little ruefully, and then properly again, if wearily. "A few things, but, um, specifically one or two."
