Deciding to take a moment to give her a lesson himself, Randall explained, “Well, uh, if you do get cold, or you just want some fresh water, what you gotta do is pull the stopper down there...”

Rolling up his sleeve, he reached into the water to point out the stopper, before pulling out and gesturing back to the knobs, explaining, “And once the tub is empty, you can put it back and then refill it-this one, with the H on it? That stands for hot, and the one with the C here stands for cold.”

As he explained this to her, a curious question crossed his mind: What colors could Emily see? Could she see all the colors he could, or did sirens have a different way of seeing them? Was she colorblind? To be completely honest, he wasn’t even sure what kinds of colors fish could see, and he found himself briefly frowning in thought-maybe after dinner, he’d show her some of his color swatches and tell her what each one was.

“Randall! Soup’s on, come and get it!”

“Coming, Ma!” he called back, before smiling back to Emily, saying, “I’ll be back up after dinner!” before hustling out of the room, eager to get himself a big bowl of hot potato soup and spend a little time with his folks before he had to get back to work.

#((oh man; if constance so much as looks at the paces funny there's gonna be hell to pay!)) #((constance has already done emily harm; beating her and leaving her for dead; and the pace family's kindness that saved her)) #((and between that; the bond she's formed with all of them; and her love for randall; she won't let ANYTHING happen to them)) #((so she'll be getting some serious payback when she returns to the bayou! and i feel the paces wouldn't let emily face her alone)) #((and would do whatever they could to help emily: they've heard about her; they all know what she's done to emily)) #((and her wanton cruelty in general; and will no doubt help take her down for good!)) #((i think emily should be the one to deal the killing blow but i don't think the paces will sit idly by and watch the fight go down!)) #outofhatboxes #beatingheart-bride #V:Part of Your World
