She tried to give him a warm smile after that news, to reassure him and put him in a better mood. "It's good for you to spend some time with flowers after a day like that."<br/><br/>As to what she did that day... "I spent most of today looking out the window. There was a little group of birds that were flying outside of my room today, and for a while I opened the window to see if they would come inside." She laughed. "Birds can fly around everywhere, so sometimes I feel like they could tell me stories of far away if I could just get them inside." Her smile turned rather sheepish. "Oh, but I know I'm not supposed to just let birds in the house," she said. "I'd shoo them out if they flew in too far, honest!"<br/><br/>-----------------------<br/><br/>Yin sat at her kitchen table, looking over some of the files that had been in her brief case.
