[Eleanor was not, and probably would never be, a morning person. So her routine was pretty predictable. Alarm went off, alarm went off again five minutes later, and then she finally slid out of bed and shuffled around until her feet found her slippers and she could head for the shower.]
[The only real change in her routine of late was that if she happened to pass Yukiko on the way there, it was less of a tired wave and more of a tired shoulder hug or kiss. Today was a shoulder hug and a muttered 'Hey you' with a little half-asleep smile as she passed her and then disappeared into the bathroom. Must...shower...]
[Yukiko was only somewhat of a morning person. She woke up earlier than Eleanor, but so did bats and owls. And since it was Valentine's she had some things to do. Just prep work but still.
Yukiko was doing just that when Eleanor shambled by on her way to the shower. The door clicked shut and she felt something tugging at her, arm flying back out behind her.]
H-huh?
[Turning back, she noted a red string trailing from her wrist into the bathroom.]
