Who: Kitty Pryde and You!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Twin Roses or the Malum on the Iskaulit
When: Now

I have some things I'm looking to send to good homes. There's a lot of men's clothing, some sewing materials, shaving supplies, and a few odds and ends. It's probably time they go to someone who can make use of them. [For anyone whose known her long enough this description might make it clear enough these are Winn's things.] It's been over two years. [She knows exactly how many days over—twenty.] That's probably long enough to hold on to them. [And maybe it will make room for new things.] I'll probably donate them at the next planet if no one is interested, but feel free to stop by the Twin Roses if you want to take a look.

Or stop by the Malum during my shift tonight and we'll pour one out to the people we're still missing. I mean, I'll charge you for the pour, so feel free to use your mouth for it. [She gives the screen a little smile.]

[He smiles, his expression far off.]

I would like to settle somewhere. I find it unlikely, though. I have responsibilities on Earth. [Which is kind of an answer to both questions, really.]

But if I were truly free? I want a home.

It sounds appealing. [She's not sure if she believes in them anymore or if she's lousy with them.] What makes a home for you?

[He reaches over to give Kitty's arm a light squeeze.]

People are a large part of it. This ship has been a home to me, and it would not feel the same without people I care about on it.

[But it's not quite enough, and he pauses before continuing.]

I have also determined I prefer having enough room to fly, and I would like to stay in one place long enough for it to be familiar. So it would have all three: familiarity, room, people I care about. Having all three of them is a singularly uncommon experience in my life thus far.

[She gives him a little smile at the arm squeeze.]

It doesn't seem like it should be too much to ask for does it?

I think I'd just want it to last. [The last thing she'd ever expect it to do.] Okay, and the people too. [She doesn't know what home is except people anymore.]

[unbearablynaive]

One would hope. And yet, so it goes.

[He exhales and is quiet for a moment.]

The impermanence is by far the worst part of our current situation. I'd hardly mind traveling the galaxy, if I could count on my friends not disappearing at random.
