home is where the heart is (buried beneath the floorboards)

A home to discover. This is home now. Home. What a silly concept. What a strange concept. A boat was their home. A home-boat. How long had it been since she had a home? A real home? She was here. She found it. Lurid found her. A good game. The next time they played, it would be a shorter game, she thinks. Can't be away from home for too long. Can always hide away within home. Is hiding at home a game too? No more game, not right now. The game was over, but something even better had just begun.

"Next to yours?" She chirped, considering for a moment. She could have her room next to Lurid, maybe. If she was allowed. Atropos wouldn't say that she hoped... but she did. "With a good window!" The girl added, seeming to need to take two steps for every one of Lurid's. Damned short legs. No complaints. No complaining. She knew better. Atropos would just double her stride in order to keep up. She could run with them. Her siblings, she could keep up. They were bigger, they were stronger, but she didn't need to be. She didn't need to be big. She didn't need to be strong. Quick and sharp. Smart. Don't let anyone see the smart, just be the smart. Atropos knows that Lurid knows. No one else needs to know.

"We explore, after?" The question is broader than the boat. It's the question of their new home, as a whole. They would explore, they would learn, they would find what they needed to. Hopefully. Hopefully find it. Their new lives had just begun, after all. Had to make the most of it. She was certain.
