"You should go with her for now, Evanne." The fragile woman whipped her head around to look at him. She was surprised, yet at the same time not surprised he had been there to listen and tell her what to do. He hadn't once come to see her and yet he was there now to tell her what to do. "After all, she's right. You're in no condition to take care of a child on you're own right now. Cather anything that is yours or Evelyn's, though. There will be new arrangements by sundown."
Evanne opened her mouth about to say something- though she wasn't sure what- but he had already turned away and began walking to his office. It had been so much easier to talk to him before the truth had sprung free. She knew things would be different after he knew, but why was he avoiding her? In the hospital, he had acted like he wanted to move past things. Sure, it could have been the drugs. But most of the time when people are on drugs, that just helps people be more honest. That's at least what she had seen.
She let Jamie push her home, following her mother. She found herself going through the motions of what Noah wanted. He told her to pack her and Evanne's things and that's what she was doing. That and mulling over what he had said. Did he want them to live with him? If so, why not just ask her? He had never been demanding about most things in his life, but that didn't mean she had to do whatever he said, even though he was Evelyn's father. The more she thought about what he said the more she got frustrated and just plain pissed off.
Evelyn's soft snores came from her mother's bed. The little girl wouldn't let her mother put her down for a nap. So the only other choice was to let her play until Evelyn wore herself out. She glanced out the window. It hadn't been too long since they came home. She would have plenty of time before sundown to go and talk to him before whatever he was planning on doing.
Evanne stood up carefully. She was weak and tired easily but she could still walk. She made her out of the room. She leaned on the railing, supporting herself with her left hand as she went down stairs. She could hear her mother back in the kitchen but she didn't want to have another confrontation with her. Instead she called out as she opened the front door. "I'm going out. I'll be back before sunset!" She heard her mother's voice but not what she said as she slipped out and shut the door behind her.
Moving as fast as she could, the blonde hurried away from one of the larger houses in Dust. She stumbled up to another building as she headed towards his office. She caught herself with her right hand but do to her injury she just collided with the wall. She gasped in pain, closing her eyes as she pushed off the building with her left hand.
Evanne took a deep breathe as she continued on. She had to concentrate as she went. She had to be careful. It wasn't until she got to his building that she noticed anything was wrong. It wasn't the sky that gave something away. It was shouting... Robin was shouting. She frowned as she watched him pull Juniper along with him into shelter and that's when she saw it. She gasped, not even bothering to knock as she pushed open Noah's office door and shut it behind her. "Noah! There's a sandstorm!" She turned to face him. "Oh god, Evelyn's at my parents'."
