"I'll be sure to tell her you said so," he jokes. "Next time, she shouldn't go time-traveling without a spotter."

That sure is a vibrator, and it's not one Mulder recognizes, either. Which is fine - he'll take a battery-operated rival over a flesh and blood one any time - but it's strange to realize all the ways in which Scully's moved on.

It's probably for the best that they go on to the dresser, even though it doesn't feel much safer than the bedside table. He's less a useful contributor and more Scully's shadow, watching as her attention's drawn first one way and then another. When she looks at the photos, he's relieved to find her interest is taken by the picture of Bill and Tara and their kids; it won't require any delicate explanations.

"That one's Matthew." He names the other kids as he points to each one in turn. Tara and Bill, of course, need no introduction. "You got this picture for Christmas, if I'm remembering right. They owe you a new one."
