When: Now or nowish. Definitely now-adjacent.

I have an important request. I need someone who can make cheese. Do cheese makers have an old timey name like cobblers and haberdashers or are those only for clothes? Anyway, calling all of those.

Cheese doesn't seem to be a thing here from what I can tell, but we're just one ingredient away from some really great pizza. I have no idea what cheese requires other than cows or goats or something. I grew up so close to Wisconsin, but I feel like I learned so little.

I would also accept alternative cheese. I know there were vegan kinds made out of hopes and dreams or something I assume. I can pay you or share the finished pizza or do something in trade if I had skills. I could beat someone up for you maybe. [She's not going to do that. Probably.] We'll work it out.

[She's on the planet doing all of these things and more but this post won't get to CAPTCHA! You might find her on the Windrose veeeery rarely!]

Trying to peer into the existence of inanimate plants isn't as interesting.

Does that mean you've tried? Did you an avocado once get really well acquainted?

There aren't that many plants in the desert to be acquainted with.

No, I guess not. Seems like all the more reason to befriend them now, but I guess if you only do interesting things...

[ He shrugs. ]

We can get by without the use of plants in the desert. They waste too much water to keep.

You mean waste it with all that living they're trying to do? [She smiles lightly.]

There are easier ways to use water.

Well, I'll accept you as the expert there while I crown myself pizza lord. Hmm, maybe I should have gone with that instead of Shadowcat.

Why did you go with Shadowcat?

It sounded cool.

...It sounded cool to a teenager? As intangible as a shadow and the cat thing was just a play off my name.

Not a fan?

I've never been much for the superhero lifestyle.

Not even the super tight, revealing uniforms?

[ He considers that. ]

I suppose some allowances can be made.

[That earns an almost surprised laugh. She looks amused. Even happy.] I knew you'd come around.

Most things do, in the end.

Skin tight saves the day. I half expect Winn to make me a new suit any day now. I spend half my time with him and he still manages to pull things out of no where. [She's fond of that guy.]

I'm sure she'll get to it eventually.

[~~Oh, sure, call him "she" as if he doesn't have enough hangups about his manliness.~~]

Probably. He's an unstoppable force of nature. [She's proud of her guy.] And how have you been, Leto?

[ Shh. ]

I am as well as can be. Yourself?

I'm...kind of great actually? I think this planet was just what I needed. [The people in her life are even more important, but after the moon (even with it's amazing dance) and then the fight with Winter she really liked the change of pace.]

[ He softens slightly. ]

It's good to know.

[She can't help but smile back.] Would you like it if we hit a desert next time around? Familiar in a good way? [Or bad?]

It would be nice, but it would probably annoy the rest of the Fleet. I'll manage with what I get.

As it turns out we all will. I'm almost sure I don't have the power to customize stops even for your benefit. But, hey, now if we do land on a desert planet sometime at least I'll know it's a good place for a friend of mine. [Smiling.]

I'd be the only one enjoying it, I imagine. Being a desert creature and all.

But the desert can be beautiful too, if you know where to look.
