Torpid Void

Louis
"No swearing in my house," Louis reminded her, picking up the paper and heading to the door. He found what appeared to be reminiscent of a tack and stuck the paper onto the door, swinging it shut. "This place is pretty bare. I'll have to figure out how to get furniture and stuff like that," Louis muttered to himself.

Harper
Harper proceeded to list off a ton of swear words anyways, shrugging at the end. 

Louis
"What did I just say?" Louis complained. He picked up a blanket folded up on a table and draped it over Harper as he walked past her. "You're in the blanket of shame now."

Harper
Harper muttered a few more swear words under her breath, but then got the random idea to just be a ghost instead. She wandered around momentarily then ran into a wall, a small "ow" slipping from her mouth.

Louis
Louis shook his head. "Do you know how to not swear?" He walked over and bent, gathering the extra blanket pooled around her feet at the floor into his hand. When he straightened, he quickly pulled and lifted, sweeping her off her feet (and keeping her from hitting anything). After a second of debating what to do, he slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes (being gentle and mindful not to hurt her, mind you).

Harper
She was about to reply, but was taken off guard which just resulted in her yelping. "Louis!!" she yelled, although by now she was laughing too hard to even manage to swear.

Louis
He grinned, heading for the hallway. "What?" 

Harper
Harper managed half of a swear word, but didn't make it any further. "You're so annoying!"

Louis
"Thank you!" Louis reached Harper's room and crossed to the bed. He swung the blanket off his shoulder and then plopped Harper onto the mattress. That was the first time he'd heard her laugh, and was honestly a little relieved. 

Harper
Harper rolled onto her back, still laughing to a point where her stomach was starting to hurt. 

Louis
The laughter was amusing and mildly contagious, which resulted in Louis chuckling. He got the blanket back and folded it over his arm. "Be warned - I will use the blanket of shame again if and when I need to," he said in a deepish voice, like some TV drama narrator. 

Harper
"Oh the poor blanket," Harper managed, although she really couldn't stop laughing.

Louis 
"I'd be more concerned about yourself. It appears the blanket has turned you into a seal." Louis exited her room and tossed the blanket back where he had picked it up at before turning into his own room. He scanned it to see what he'd need to do to make it more comfortable and like home (who knew how long he'd be here?). He could hear Harper laughing in the next room over and smiled to himself. 

Harper
"A seal! Oh well now Imma be a harpoonist!" Harper called, covering her mouth in an attempt to stiffle the laughter.

Louis
"Harpoons are for whales, not seals." Louis checked the bedroom door and was relieved to see that it locked.
