~*~

Ronan, Gansey, and Adam spent the last day or so boarding up each of the barns on the property, gathering supplies in case they lose power and the ability to heat food, setting up bedding and food for the goats and Anvil. Chainsaw already has her own special, no furry beasts play zone. They don't own any furniture yet so it's sleeping bags and mattresses on the floor. There are plenty of candles and instead of flashlights Ronan has dreamed up some floating fairy lights and few a glow balls that look like it could be the solar system.

Eventually, after what was probably another five minutes of pulling various things from out of her bag, Blue finally zipped it back closed and set it off to the side. "Considering they didn't even know about the storm until it was only a few days out, I'm not very confident."

Getting up on her feet, she crossed the room to look out the window, her head tilted to the side in an attempt to look up at the sky -- which looked just as dark and ominous as it had all morning and afternoon. "I like it." She said simply, looking over her shoulder to give Gansey a wide and lopsided grin. "You should keep all the mattresses in here and just have an unconventional layout."

"Maybe predicting the weather is more difficult in pocket dimensions." It was something he could add to his list of research topics, but that list was already far too long. Unless there seemed to be a trend in storms occurring regularly, there was no need to spend time on that subject.

The smile seemed strange, did strange things to him that he didn't understand. He thought of what Adam had said about the future. How different Adam was than expected. Mellower. Blue was like that as well. Maybe familiarity had blunted some of the edges to their words and actions. "I assumed you disliked unconventional layouts. You didn't seem impressed with Monmouth." Most people weren't, but he still loved the space. It was his, completely different than where he grew up in DC that he could feel comfortable there instead of feeling like there was a chance he would always be thrust into the spotlight at any moment. "Other than the goats and calf, this version of the Barns is basically normal."

"All those years of studying, only for the weather to do whatever it wants anyway." Blue smiled at the idea -- she'd always wanted that kind of freedom too. To go where ever she wanted, to do whatever she wanted without fear of the consequences. She'd spent so much of her life trying to be as sensible as possible that the wild reckless teenager in her was constantly begging to be set free.

(Maybe she could do that here. Would that be selfish of her to worry about creating herself a new life instead of figuring out how to return to their old one?)

"Hey, it eventually grew on me." Which couldn't have been more truthful. Blue might not have been outwardly impressed with Monmouth upon her first introduction, but after spending enough time there with the other's, it felt as much a part of her as her Raven Boys did. "I had to get past the layers of dust to see its true beauty." She laughed, looking between the baby animals with a content smile. "You guys picked good company to start out with. Are chickens coming next? Fresh eggs would be nice."
