[align=center][div style="width: 430px; text-align: justify; font-family: calibri; font-size: 8pt; color: black; line-height: 22px;"]☁  it was morning.

hayley realized this only when she turned her gaze up from the table in front of her, with various little figurines to represent various things, and glanced out the window. this realization wouldn't have been as startling if she'd been, say, in her bed at some point. but, when hayley had gone up to her bedroom the prior night, instead of laying down beside jackson, who was fast asleep beneath the covers, she'd seated herself at her desk and worked out plans for various things. several times she'd left the desk, only the make a quick trip to the bathroom, or to tend to hope, but she always returned to the desk. and only when she glanced out the window did hayley chase realize that she'd spent her entire night working instead of sleeping, and now that it was morning, it was a little too late to go to bed.

❝fuck it,❞ was her response, pushing herself out from the desk. she'd pulled two-nighter's more than once since her arrival to the lodge, and while she knew going for a walk outside was impractical on such little sleep, she had plenty she could do inside. help with meals, restock the infirmary, go through supplies. she always spent a few days inside a week, and thus far, no one had ever cornered her about needing more sleep. on a good night, she might get five hours rest anyways.

mind made up, she changed out of yesterdays clothes, touched up her hair and makeup from the day before, and headed down to the kitchen for some caffeine. jackson would have to wake up soon, and whoever beat the other up almost always had a cup of something warm ready for the other. slipping silently out of her room and down the hallway, by the time she made it to the kitchen her brows arched in surprise at the sight of daniel and blake already wide awake. she caught the tail end of the conversation, blake drinking not-coffee and daniel clueless as to how to make tea, and she glanced at the two with a look of surprise. after all, neither of them really struck her as early-morning-people.

❝they're not too hard to find if you know where to look.❞ hayley spoke finally, alerting the pair she was there, opening a cabinet to produce a pot. she grabbed one of the many jugs of melted snow and poured it into the pot, walking towards the firepit they often cooked on, flames still clinging to life, and she hung the pot on one of the hooks before placing another few logs on the fire to heat up before breakfast. ❝i will say though blake, i'd recommend wine for breakfast. you can use the whole made-from-fruit thing as justification.❞ she spoke as she worked, before straightening and moving towards the other two, pushing herself to sit on the counter. ❝not that most people here would judge you. i was nineteen once,❞ she said, pausing and smiling just a bit, ❝and eighteen, and seventeen, and sixteen, and... shit, i'd be getting a cup myself if i didn't have a kid. but alas, tea it is.❞ she mused, some part of her missing being young and stupid, but another part of her glad for the growth hope brought into her life.
