And because we can never do things by halves, she is a little unsettling weirdo about it.]

[SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE. MOM, DO YOU COPY?]

Comments

Action

[passingthrough]

[Well, not mama. But hearing that word softens whatever edge set when looking for the mystery guest. Or mystery crewmate as the case actually is. Kitty looks over her too, seeing the child. Her voice is gentle but clear when she speaks again.]

I'm Kitty. I live here. Who are you?

Action

[motheater]

[Lilly's made it a point to scuttle on all fours to find somewhere to keep safe; she ultimately ends up bent up and curled under a small table, looking up at Kitty from where she's hunched like an animal. At least she doesn't seem terrified? Cautious more than anything.]

... Lilly.

Action

[passingthrough]

[Kitty crouches down slowly, coming more to her level.]

Hi, Lilly. [There are a lot of questions. She starts with the least pressing because she's a child. She doesn't need to be pressed now.] Are you hungry?

Action

[motheater]

[Is she hungry? Is the sky blue? Yes, yes, and her eyes widen slightly, eagerly.

Her caution is not gone, but she does seem rather interested in the topic of food.

She nods, the slightest of nodding.]

Action

[passingthrough]

I'll make us something. [She straightens slowly and moves out of the room, assuming Lilly will follow after the nod.] I have some treats better than the space food. [She's always stocking the Windrose up. She leaves some of it in her own room, mostly to save it for Winn or the Tourist crew when she visits, but most of what she collects goes into the pantry for everyone on the Windrose to enjoy. Food was hard to come by on her world and she appreciates the steady supply here even if she doesn't always love the taste. She did manage to get a little spoiled in the prison with it's endless supply of great food. Easy to manage in a virtual reality setting. She was probably actually eating glucose and such.]
