Drifting

Who: Makie and you!
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Twin Roses / Iskaulit
When: Nowish

[Makie moves back into the Twin Roses with a lack of fanfare.  It's comforting to at least come back to a place with a room that still reads as distinctly hers; the peasant dresses are still tucked away.  The replacement weapon she had made is still here.  Her assurance that she has another life waiting for her in Adstring is gone.  So now, this ship is the only home she has.

She's spent the last weeks rebuilding her stamina, even if it's just by walking the length of the cargo bay and taking long walks through the Iskaulit.  She'll always be a ghastly pale woman, but she no longer has to stop quite so often to get her breath back, and  a recovered appetite means she's finally putting a little meat back on her bones.

She still drifts through the weeks quietly enough.  There's a lot to take in.

-------

Today she owns the melancholy she feels, taking a trip down to the Iskaulit to visit the memory tree.  Her own name is attached here; it's a vague sort of surprise.  She reaches out to remove it, hesitates.  Then finally plucks it from the tree only to move it, clipping it to the piece of card with Lilly's name scrawled on it.  That Makie is long gone, and maybe she gets a happy ending.  It doesn't matter.  It just feels right.

Then she settles quietly by the tree, Misty's shamisen in her lap, and plays.]

We could write a formal letter of complaint to the Atroma to send us more women. Or were you thinking of knocking a couple of our guys off? [Kidding of course.]

Hey... Of course. I mean nothing would make Vash happier, right? [She tries to keep it light, but looks concerned.]

Oh, probably. We get so surly and unpredictable otherwise.

[She can totally relate even if it's been a long time. It's not the kind of thing that ever feels that long ago.]

It's rare that's ever come up anyway. [It's not like there are zombies attacking them every day or something!]

Yeah, I know the feeling. Rests are good. I hope the timing works out for yours.
