Flying lessons (Jekyll/Rose and family?)

[call_me_snake]

Snake woke still curled around the bottle on the pilot's seat. He was cramped and cranky. He missed his bed and sighed wondering where the hell he was. For a moment he thought he was back in the war. Luckily that cleared before he opened his eye. There was no telling what time of day it was. Snake didn't care as he shifted around to get comfortable. He still wasn't much in the mood for company but he was going to have to be.

Reluctantly he sat up in the seat blinking at his reflection and mussed hair. He looked like shit and felt almost as bad. Rubbing his eye he slid the hatch back and listened. It was still quiet and Snake leaned the seat back intent on a few more minutes of sleep. He'd come out when he were ready.

Rose closed her eyes, suddenly feeling even worse. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine love, really it is" I smiled a little. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure Snake will delight waking me up shortly, well that and upsetting my stomach again" I still felt a bit green.

"Upset?" Slowly she let out a soft laugh, "feeling a little under the weather?"

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I laughed as she did, my stomach lurching ever so slightly at the movement; "Yeah, just a little bit..." I admitted, knowing that by doing so it gave her free reign to tease mercilessly.

She laughed a little more, "You need to learn to drink."

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I laughed; "Yes, I do. Snake says it gets better, but I'm yet to see it" I was glad that she seemed to be better than she had left us last night, if sleepy.

"When are you going flying then?"

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"As soon as I've finished talking to you" I said softly, smiling. "Must admit I'm still very nervous..." my voice had taken on a more hesitant tone.

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

"You'll be fine," She yawned again, her voice still so very sleepy. "You shouldn't worry."

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know, but you and I both know I worry too much. Although at the moment I think I'm more worried about vomitting in Snake's glider" I laughed a little.

Rose smiled softly, "He'll look after you Henry, so don't worry."

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"I know he will... are you doing anything for the rest of the morning? What time do you have to be at work?"

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

"Sleeping probably, maybe spending time with mom, helping her pack her bag and such."

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

I had to admit that sleeping sounded great right about now but I doubted that I would be able to sleep properly, I hadn't last night. As if on cue I yawned, covering the mouth piece; "How long does she have now?"

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

"Not long," Rose yawned herself, "I should let you get off, Snake doesn't like to be kept waiting."

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"Okay then, I'll probably ring you later, let you know how I get on with it. Take care, Rose."

[earth-defender.livejournal.com]

Rose stayed quiet for a long time, not really wanting to end the conversation, "Be safe Henry."

[a-darker-dream.livejournal.com]

"I'll try my best" I smiled a little before pressing the button to end the call, looking at the phone for a little while before putting it in my pocket.

I couldn't help but wish that she was coming with me.
