Neshomeh and Phobos were lying in bed one afternoon, murmuring softly, and doing whatever it is that happily married couples do in bed together*, when Neshomeh suddenly jumped up, cursing.

"What is it?" asked Phobos, watching her pull on clothes** and dig for her red pen amongst various bedroom detritus.

"I'm late!" Neshomeh pointed with one hand to the clock on the other side of the bedroom as she pulled on a shirt. "I was supposed to have a beta-ing session with Herr Wozzeck in ten minutes, and I'll never get there in time!"

Phobos sat up. "But that means I'll be here all alone," he said, pouting.

Neshomeh sighed, and nodded. "I did promise... but you can always use a second beta, right?"

Nodding enthusiastically, Phobos jumped out of bed*** and followed her out the door.

"The problem is," Neshomeh muttered, turning corners at random, "That I'll never be able to find the place in time. Why is it so hard to distract oneself from one's destination?"

Phobos grinned. "I think I can help with that..." he said.

Herr Wozzeck turned a corner at random, trying to not think about the library, or his beta meeting, and promptly tripped over Phobos and Neshomeh.

"Um... guys?"

They looked up. Neshomeh smiled cheerfully. "Oh! Herr! We were just... on our way to meet you!"

"For beta-ing," Phobos added helpfully.

"Er. So I see," Herr said, trying to close his jaw. "Are you... trying to find the library?"

They nodded.

"Do you need help?"

[And... scene.]
