Home Sweet Home

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

Home Sweet Home

There's a loud knock on Will's door. Almost as if someone was banging a stone against the wood.

"Don't break the dang thing," Will grumbled, moving over the endless mess war provided by Nina and Emily's battles over cleanliness to get to the door.

"Nope! They had a thing that they wanted somebody to look at here, so I volunteered. And so did Robin." she smiles. "We missed you."

"Missed you, daddy!" Robin says and jumps in place a bit, barely managing to stick the landing and not topple over.

"I wish you had called...I would have tidied up..." Will said, standing in such a way to block the mess that was the apartment.

The apartment...well, it had seen WORSE days, for sure, but it was definitely a mess. It was in full "Nina" mode at the moment, before Emily could get through and clean it up.

Robin's dollhouse and playpen were still set up, but other than that, it was a disaster area.

She chuckles, then raises an eyebrow when she spots some stuff like science journals and textbooks strewn about. "Been getting into some light reading while I was gone?"

"Nano-cellular structures and their effects on cell-differentiation." she reads one of the articles topics out loud. "This one has notes and corrections scribbled in it."

"Yeah. 'Wrong! Cross-membrane FSK ins't involved in inter-cell signal transduction!'" she reads one of them out loud. "This paragraph is just scribbled over with an angry smilie-face next to it and at the bottom it says 'See me after class'."

"Well... I won't deny that I'm not her biggest fan, but if you trust her enough to let her live here I should respect your judgement. Even if the current state of the apartment would agree with me." she jokes slightly.
