video

[When the video kicks in, Maggie can be found with the Gym in the background. Her device is perched in her lap as she addresses the network.]

I've been here a while, but I don't think I've seen anyone offering lessons for a long time. I'm not too bad with throwing knives or hand to hand if anyone wants to learn or wants someone to practice with. It's always good to keep sharp, right?

[Maggie looks like she's ready to go already, her hair pulled back and gloves on her hands.]

Anyway - for anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Maggie. I'll be in the Gym if someone's lookin' to blow off some steam.

Closed to Glenn - on the SS Goldstone

[With the ships drifting, there really isn't much of a chance to take a shuttle out and find somewhere to explore. This leaves things up to improvisation as Maggie takes over a small corner of their spacious Cargo Bay, setting out a blanket and a makeshift picnic basket. It wasn't much but it was something.

Maggie had a plate of food in her lap and a fork in her hand. It wasn't the fun world exploration she would have liked, but it was something. The last planet hadn't exactly been that spectacular, but hopefully the next would make up for it. No matter the location, she was just glad to see it with her husband. Speaking of, she can't help but look up at him, a small smile on her face as she enjoys her food.]

I know a lot of this is rations and synthetic stuff, but it's not too bad, right?

Gym - open

[It was always good to blow off some steam once in a while and Maggie is no exception. She can be found practicing getting in a few punches and kicks on some training equipment, her focus completely on beating on the piece of equipment in front of her that jostled every so often from the force of her blows. Anyone looking to train with her was welcome, of course.

There wasn't too much to do during drifting like this, but this was enough to take up her time. Keeping busy, keeping fit, was important. Once she was done wailing on the equipment, Maggie would be stopping for a stretch, seated on a mat with her legs stretched in front of her as she did so.]

[ There, he laughs slightly. ]

Hey, not always. I don't need that kind of pressure.

[ His fingers easily find their way to twine between hers, squeezing lightly as they do. Like they're home. ]

Yeah... me too.

[ And he smiles at the kiss, warm but bittersweet - because it should be more than just the two of them. Because this shouldn't be the only way it's possible for that to happen. ]

I don't think there are too many other people who actually want to stay here.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

I call it like I see it. You've always been the voice of reason.

[She smiles fondly, just enjoying the closeness.]

Mm. I was one of those people. I know the Hilltop probably still needs me but if what they've always said is true - that time is just stopped or somethin' - I don't think I'm in any hurry to get home.

[She'd rather not go back to a place where he isn't, to be perfectly honest.]

[rheecon]

Nah. I just tried to learn from them.

[ That's true, in his mind - Dale, Hershel... they set the kind of example he'd aspired to. Maybe, after they were gone, he'd managed to convey what they might have. He tried.

But right now, this is what matters. ]

Of course they need you, but... I believe it, time being stopped. If I can be here and we can have this, then I don't doubt that Hilltop is exactly as you left it, waiting for you to get back to it. And I know you'll be incredible when you get there, but until then, I'm going to take every single moment like this we can get.

[ And because they're just a little too close to going too sad, he pulls it back with a warm bit of levity - ]

And a million pictures. Exactly a million.
