Nathan and Paige, Monday afternoon

Nathan takes Bella down to play 'therapy bird' for Paige. They banter for a while and then set about the serious business of talking out better than a year's worth of misunderstanding and lack of communication. It goes remarkably well.

Scott and Haroun, Monday afternoon

Haroun, his vision improving, comes down to check on the Blackbird. Scott is still working, trying to sort out the problem with the autopilot. The two of them have a rambling conversation about the plane, Alison, and other subjects.

( Man, if we need to get Nathan to lift the plane again he's going to get all pissy. I can just hear it now. )
