for Wanderer
Helen had promised to spend a little more time talking one on one with Wanderer when there weren't the concerns of arrival or the bustle of a party to contend with and she'd settled for having tea with her on a Saturday afternoon. She'd brought Gregory along, of course, because she hated to saddle Will with him when she was unoccupied and it seemed that Wanderer had been fond of the baby; Helen was always pleased with people who were interested in her son.
She was a bit early, so she'd snuggled Gregory in his sling across her chest and gone to boil the water for tea, hoping to at least have that done before Wanderer turned up in the kitchen. Whether or not they'd stay in the Compound was up to her - Helen hardly had an opinion - but this part would need to start here.
When she heard a noise behind her, she turned slightly. "Just getting a few things ready for us. Did you want anything in particular?"

"You'll wake up in someone else's body. It's disconcerting, I can imagine."

"I think I could listen to you talk for hours on end about all this. I apologize, curiosity is both a virtue and a vice of mine."

Helen couldn't imagine having a choice in body and wondered if she would still choose her human one if she hadn't been born to it originally or had a choice of living in another type.

I'd been about to day I wanted to die here, but that seemed a little more melodramatic than I wanted. Especially since my humans had decided to keep me, apparently.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "There are suicidal people on the island?"
