[Watches TV, gets something to eat at some point, spends a half-hour or so untangling the knots in Alessa's silky leg-fur...]
[It's around the four-hour mark that she realizes Cooper's probably not going to answer.]
[Then it's another two before she decides she should suck it up and say something.]
