MCA #9, Monday Evening

Today was a weird day. Octavia knew that didn't really mean much on this island, but some days packed enough of different kinds of unusual into themselves that calling them weird seemed merited. And between the insomnia, the coffee shop trip where everyone she ran into was a woman regardless of whether they were that usually, the onsen and the ensuing Thai dining with Shunsui... Look, even if it wasn't weird as such, in general, it was still pretty unusual for her specifically.

And now Duke was supposed to come over to get his newly longer hair braided.

So that was new.

Octavia hadn't done a whole lot to prepare for it. She had a hair brush and some hair ties ready, sure, and she'd cleared out some of Bellamy's stuff from around the couch, but other than that, the biggest thing was that she'd asked him to clear out for a while. With how uncomfortable Duke had been this morning, she didn't need any kind of a big brother scene happening. Not tonight. And miraculously, it had actually worked, possibly because she'd dragged her upcoming birthday into it.

And now, alone again, she waited.
