When: May 22nd


Hello! [Lily waved to the screen, there seemed to be some smoke..no steam rising to occasionally fog the lense. She was dusting her hands off on a towel before she tossed it onto her shoulder.]

Well, exciting month last month eh? Parties, dances and meeting all sorts of new friends. I didn't want to do anything until all that fun had worn off; but I may have managed to obtain some things to help ease the space travel after such lavish offerings. [And with that the camera pans down and around, hey she's gotten good at this since her arrival! And there is food, not as grand as the tables at the party but still quite a spread of breads, pastries, cheese and real meat.]

And as a special gift, Captain Furiosa, [She raised a small fruit in her hand. A peach, three others were on the table next to a plate of grilled peaches and popovers.] All food is available in the galley, stop on by when you get a chance.

Closed to Lily

[Furiosa is stunned into silence. She hadn't thought she'd ever see one again, in the whole fruit, not any of the flavored paste or watered down canned varieties that were incomprehensible from the real thing. Her gratitude goes beyond a reply on the network; she's remembering all those days, all those years she carried the peach pit, waiting for a chance to plant it in the Green Place - a chance that would never come.]

[She finds Lily in the galley and puts a hand on the back of her neck, lightly touching her forehead against Lily's as a sign of gratitude.]

Thank you.

Open

[Tonight Furiosa can be found in the galley, wanting the peaches as well as the company in a rare good mood as she's ever been in.]

[ came to investigate the food. stayed to investigate the food, but she seems like she's in an okay mood too ]

Those look pretty great.

[kill_switch]

They are. [She holds one out to Nova to try, which is about the greatest honor she could give.]

[takeabow]

Are you sure?

[kill_switch]

I'm sure.

[Her voice is soft, but sure. She smiles a little and wiggles the pair.] Unless you don't want it?

[takeabow]

Just a taste, then. We can share it.

[kill_switch]

Hm. Alright then. [She sets the peach on a plate, and then digs out a knife and slices the peach in half. She hands it over.] You have peaches in your world?

[takeabow]

In some districts. Not mine, though. The climate isn't right. I feel like they wouldn't let us keep something that good, anyway.

[ bites into her peach ]

Thank you.

[kill_switch]

Who's 'they', if you don't mind my asking? [She takes a bite of hers, savoring it, using the back of her hand to wipe away any errant juices and yes sucking it off her hand because she's not about to waste any drop.]

[gifted_witch]

[The Captain is rarely one for small shows of emotion so this catches Lily by surprise and nearly makes her cry, just a little.

She knew Furiousa's life had been dark, but such small acts of kindness shouldn't be so rare for her. And if Lily had her way from now on they wouldn't be.]

I was happy to do it, I really hope you like them!

[kill_switch]

[She steps back, smiling, and loads a plate up with peaches and pastries before taking a seat at the table.]

Looks like you've been busy, how long did it take you to make all this?

[gifted_witch]

Well it's been a fair bit of the morning in getting things peeled and ready. A few hours I guess. But it lets me feel useful round here. I can't do much else compared to most of you.

[She wasn't a pilot or a fighter persay. She was just herself.]

[kill_switch]

[She chuckles lightly.] Really, there's not much any of us can do. Atroma's taken the purpose out of a lot of lives for the excuse of leisure.

[She appreciates being busy, too.]
