[ she finds that this planet agrees with her far more than the one who came before and far better than life at the ship. There is warm weather to enjoy and open land filled with green forests, the stalls at the markets are filled with food and fruit. most of margaery's socialization, however, shall not take at the markets but rather at the little forest clearings, filled with wildflowers as they are. she might be seen walking there nearly every day, donning on the gowns from home and always returning with fresh flowers in her hair or in little bouquets.

it reminds her of highgarden, in a way and she is all too eager to experience it all before it has to go away.

those who wish to join her and innocent bystanders who might find an arm laced in theirs before being dragged into one of those summery walks, might find that she brought food with her from the markets, wine and fruit, mostly.

flower crowns and playing tag in the flower fields would fill her days. you might see her smiling more often than ever. ]

（  Ｂ  ）  ＳＥＡＳＩＤＥ

[ she has never been to the seaside.

there is a soft breeze there and a wonderful salty scent that speaks of summer and freedom. she will take to spending the early mornings there as well as the late hours where the sky will turn from pale to darker blue. you might catch her with her feet in the water at first and at others, you might also be dragged - running into the line of the clear blue water.

it's all playful, of course. the sand is warm and the water's clear, what else does a little queen need? ]

[ so this was a good time to complete the ice cream machine, obviously. the heat and the beach make the machine a much needed addition for the atmosphere so those who want to take out some ice cream to their walk by the seaside or the markets, need only come to the blameless and ask nicely. They only have two flavors so far, vanilla and peanut butter but it's better than nothing, right?

ask nicely enough and he might make yours look like a flower, ok. ]



（  Ｂ  ）  ＴＨＥ  ＢＥＡＣＨ

[ so beach means one thing right? board shorts and cisco might be seen in a pair sitting at the beach, just by the water and enjoying the heat. occasionally, he will have some of that ice cream with him but you could find him with some fruit from the markets, eating and enjoying the time of leisure.

if you're lucky, you might find him there with a soda, singing this as it plays on his phone ]

[ so admittedly, after the time spent wearing gas mask followed by the entire awful mess created by the atroma, the change of scene is welcome. there don't seem to be many troubles on this planet, the natives seem happy and satisfied with their lives and the peaceful atmosphere is more than appreciated.

it also gives him a chance to go back to a habit he has grown to miss. during the early hours of the morning, Steve Rogers can be seen jogging by the beach in his training pants and a t-shirt. unless you have some sort of super speed, it'll be a little impossible to catch up with him but he'll slow down for the second round.

sometimes, after that, in a sort of a last-minute decision, he'll lose the t-shirt and go for a swim, not minding the cooler water of the early hours. emerging, he'll spend his time watching the ocean and looking at the different sea-shells.

when the afternoon changes into evening, you might find him there, sketching the horizon line ]

（  Ｂ  ）  ＭＡＲＫＥＴ  ＰＬＡＣＥ

[ he makes himself useful. for a few hours a day, you could see him carrying boxes full of goods for the vendors and helping them setting up stalls. he refuses most of the money offered in return.

you might catch him at the part of the market that contains flowers, staring at the different choices as if the best one would present itself to him.

he's overthinking this entire 'get some flowers for a woman' thing but you're more than welcome to pitch in and help ]

（  Ｃ  ）  ＣＡＴＣＨＩＮＧ  ＦＬＵＦＦ  ＳＬＵＧＳ

[ ok so even the most professional girls would like a cute, fluffy pet, right? right.

one warm summer day, you might find steve rogers at the outskirts of the forest, standing still and staring at something a few meters away. come closer, and he'll raise a hand, no sudden movement.

he has his eyes set on one of the creatures for some time snow and he might be holding a little box.

don't tell me you didn't want to see captain america capturing a cute ball of fluff. ]

[partialities]

[ it's simply one of those kinds of afternoons. the weather is warm and the air smells sweet and margaery takes her usual walk from where windrose is docked to the wide slopes of grass filled with wildflowers but this time, she is not on her own.

they have much to discuss, her and Winn but surely anything less than wonderful can wait a little. she doesn't seem to mind the way the ends of her gown get a little messy when dragged against the ground near the vendors. ]

oh look here -

[ she all but runs, dragging him with her to a little stall just near the forest offering a verity of candy apples ]

I think they are apples, what do you reckon they did to them?

[winn]

[ this planet is a metaphorical and literal breath of fresh air for winn, one he sorely needed, so he's only too happy to oblige margaery when she invites him to spend the day with her. he always feels like he has to dress up around her, but the weather is so nice, and the beaches remind him of home, and for the first time - he goes to meet her in a t-shirt (his supergirl one, to be exact).

chuckling softly at her enthusiasm, he allows her to drag him along. ]

Looks like candy apples - they're coated in sugar, at least they are back home -

[ he holds up two fingers to the vendor, indicating he'd like to purchase two, and hands her one before handing the man his money (and getting an undesired hug to go with his change. and he thought he and kara were huggers, sheesh!) ]

Let's try it together - on 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - [ he licks his apple and lets out a jovial laugh ]

A;;

[reconstitution]

[ The planet comes at pretty much the perfect time. He can give his crew space and not be around people that don't feel comfortable around him. It's..nice. Winter doesn't feel like the walls are closing in or that his head is on a chopping block, waiting for the blade to fall.

A weight off his shoulders.

Another thing the planet is good for is the unfamiliar scenery. Sure, he's come across these things in passing or the rest are hidden in hard to reach memories. The beach is his favorite. There's something calming about just watching the water roll in and out, and the crashing waves drown out a lot of residual noise. The colors are beautiful once day passes, and he doesn't have to think about anything if he doesn't want. Not even being a person or keeping up appearances.

Winter doesn't even mind that his back is exposed and the sounds of approach are muted by sand and waves. Which is how he finds Steve in his venture to find a spot to sit.

The sight of him sketching is nostalgic in a way that he doesn't get the opportunity to feel much anymore. Some things are certain in his memory, and the ones that stand out the most are Steve is a very talented artist and Steve used to draw a lot more.

He tries to be quiet on his approach and lowers himself into the sand a yard or two away so he can watch both the sun sinking into the horizon and Steve capturing it. ]

[bryces_pup]

[Two pretty ladies, out on the town. Or, well, one very gorgeous lady and one who would be pretty if she didn't look like she didn't just roll out of bed. A minor exaggeration, with emphasis on minor. Riona's look is harried, and she feels rather out of place besides Margaery. But it took so much for her to work up the effort to even come along, let alone put any effort into her appearance.

Still, she tries to put on a smile.]

Feels a bit more like home here. Their apparel is quite simple, but it suits the world around them, I think. [Her voice is quiet, and she nearly winces at how it cracks once or twice.]

C

[passingthrough]

[Kitty would say she's out exploring, but she's really just out enjoying not being on a spaceship. She's been feeling too cooped up and contained for awhile and now she just has to get out and run or climb trees or in this case watch Steve stalk something.

She moves in closer, taking silent, phased steps until she can follow his line of sight.]

...It's a slug.

Do you think it's going to fly away or strike at you if you startle it?

A please?

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ God it felt good to run on something that wasn't a treadmill again. He hadn't really been able to on the moon due to the air, even though he had spent some time on the obstacle course. But that was different from just digging deep into your core and running. Much like Steve, Kirk takes to it in the early mornings - a part of his own natural routine, adopted due to his, well, poor sleeping habits, and a need for zen.

While he is a bit faster than a normal human thanks to his Augmented blood, he's nowhere near Steve. He pouts when the man passes him so quickly, but knows when he's outclassed. He waits for him to come back around, lightly kicking water at him from the surf with a teasing smirk. ]</sub>

Show off.

[universal_charm]

_{[ Ice cream, you say? Of course he manages to hear about this somehow through the grapevine that is the Fleet, and it would make a nice treat to take down to the beach for the day. Thank you, Augmented blood, for letting him burn calories a bit faster and not feel guilty about a creamy treat (and keeping Bones from insisting he go on diets). ]}

So - how did you come up with peanut butter as the second option? Aren't the two basics vanilla and chocolate?

b

[beathach]

[he's in the market place himself, in between the work he's been doing out in the forest, but when he spots Steve he decides to wander over and at least say hello.

. . . of course, he seems very busy staring at flowers, so Hank waits a moment or two, watching curiously before he speaks up, tone light]

Does staring at them help?

[partialities]

[ they have all been cooped up for far too long. now, all the passengers seem like birds in their flight, running here and there, rushing between the seaside to the marketplace to the woods. margaery arches an eyebrow at his explanation and smiles brightly when he offers her one ]

they do have a way with manners here, do they not?

[ she dips her chin, a little bow to the men and holds onto the stick and when he takes a lick she takes a bite and laughs, barely managing her way between the fruit and the sticky sugar ]

Are you not meant to bite into it?

[partialities]

Is that what women in your world wear, sweetling? you never said. Is is warm there, too?

[ she doesn't comment on her appearance nor does she ask questions. Margaery knows that some things women like to keep to themselves, at least for a while. instead, she tucks a few of riona's curls behind an ear and smiles ]

It is very pretty here, is it not? I feel renewed. The lack of warm air was dreadful, I did miss being outdoor so - those dreadful masks at the moon made the entire affair a hassle.

[winn]

They have a way with personal space -

[ as in: they give you none of it. ah well. ]

I just got a personal rule about not biting into things if I'm not sure what they are.

[ he nods. it just seems like a good strategy when they're on another planet; it may look like earth cooking but for all they know it could've been wax. or. something he'd rather not think about! now though, that it's been ascertained as sugar, he takes a big bite and smiles. ]

What kinda sweets do you have in your home? Maybe we can find some!

[benames]

Not on my watch buddy, peanut butter is so much better than -

[ he turns, a little cup meant for the ice cream in hand and he nearly drops it. not again, how does he always manage to be weird or otherwise rude around captain kirk? what a tragic turn his life has taken. he freezes for a moment and then hurries to put both flavors in the cup and hand it to him.

he gave captain kirk ice cream.

that's it, he can die happy now. ]

ah - well. I just found the peanut butter gel to be more cooperative. also peanut butter is dope.

[benames]

[ ok so one of the first things he notices about the beach ( except for the awesome water fluff slugs and the fact that they're awesome ) is the carnival. he sees the ferris wheel from afar and a closer inspection shows that there are classic ride, humble but downright cool when you consider they're on a different planet. there are even little stalls that offer plushies. he never really was the type to be able to throw balls at bottles and knock them all but he does spend an hour there learning the technique ( for science and research, mind you ) before going back and daring to shoot hermione a message ]

yo

liking planet touchy-feely so far?

[uprightness]

[ he picks up the hint of his approach but decides to let it be for a few moments. in truth, he can be happy in just this, just knowing he finally came out of the heron for some fresh air. he lets his pencil meet paper again until sand and water are clear on the paper, just beneath the sky. he would have liked, maybe, to have some color. it seems less warm in its grey and silver and white shades. another moment and then ]

I was hoping to see you.

[uprightness]

I don't want to startle it at all.

[ he smiles at her. the slug is small enough, certainly but if he can collect him with as little fuss to the thing as possible, then why not. to the little guy, he once toasted. the compassion that drives him seems to make him feel a bit of pity towards the animal here, too.

that and. it could sting, potentially. ]

it took me a while to get him to come out.

[uprightness]

Just giving you motivation.

[ his smile is easy. the air is cooler during those hours and the beach is fairly empty save for him and Jim and some early rising vendors already setting up their stalls on the shoreline. he halts, doesn't duck to avoid the water. ]

Another round?

[ he's done four but he could go for a fifth. ]

[uprightness]

Not as much as I hoped it would.

[ you know, there's picking up flowers for a girl you met the week before at a party or at a coffee place or wherever young fellas meet their gals and there is picking up flowers for someone, well.

there's picking up flowers for peggy carter. ]

I'm trying to decide which ones.

[ he gives him a little look. help, hank. ]

[beathach]

[do you know want help from someone who has never bought a girl flowers, Steve]

Are they for Ms. Carter?

[partialities]

Not a rule to be shared with me? Such gallantry.

[ she gives him a sharp little smile before resuming her walk, giving him a moment to catch up with her before answering his question ]

Cakes, as it happens. We had wonderful cakes in Highgarden, they'd use the fruit and honey to make them. There was this wonderful cake of apples and berries, that one was my favorite.

[ she takes another bite of her apple ]

However, this also pleases me.

[uprightness]

[ isn't it time to get Raven some nice flowers, Hank? ]

H - [ ow did you know? is what he intended to ask but a second later he shakes his head. the comm mistake, he almost managed to make himself forget that ever happened. he looks at the flowers, clears his throat and nods ]

[winn]

[ he catches up, not missing a beat. ]

A wise and brave queen like yourself surely knows better than a lowly nerd like me.

[ plus this way she could've let him know if it's gross. ]

I bet we can find cakes around here! Actually, I met someone who bakes on the ships too - a baking pony. I'd promise I'm being serious but I'm not completely sure I wasn't hallucinating her myself -

[beathach]

[he took her on a date!! Listen he's working up to it. It sort of dawns on him that he hasn't spoken to Steve like this in person, but he figures Steve's already picked up on who he is anyway, so it's a moot point.

Also wow Steve, you previous cinnamon roll]

Lucky guess. [is the answer to his unspoken question, with just a hint of gentle teasing] I can't say I know a lot about getting a friend flowers, but - I think the gesture means more than the flower itself? if that helps.
