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.]
