Who: whoever!
When: Day 22, afternoon
Where: ~around~

[There was a trial today! Did you earn some Sparks for a new purchase or new memory? Did you miss it entirely and are gonna be miffed at the lost opportunity? Are you too busy doing other cool stuff and don't really care? What are you doing right now, Aurora? LET'S MINGLE.]

[Naeva ran a trial and so was out in sunlight all day! That's why, in the lounge, there are two jackals curled up asleep in a seat!

...wait, two?

Alternately, you can find her and her new companion in the garden, with some paper and a pencil. She seems to be writing something down, but also she has a jackal stuffed in her coat who's just. Chillin' in there. Napping.]

[tiny small voice, don't wake tiny small pups]

Oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhh

[The smaller jackal whines and just sort of hides its face under it's paws. The one with the senna-colored collar looks up and squints.]

Hello, Eliza.

Hi! I see you got a friend?

Her name is Estelle.

[Who is gone back to sleep because jackals are nocturnal.]

Most of Senna has vanished, so it was...getting a little lonely.

[sits down next to their seat]

She looks like she'll be good company. She's very cute.

Of course. Jackals are the cutest.

[She is absolutely an unbiased authority on this.]

Maybe the cutest mammal.

Mmmmmmmmm, nope, cutest overall, by royal decree.

That's abuse of power!

[Reaching out and booping Eliza's nose with her paw.]

Yes. What are you going to do about it.

[squeaks!]

I'll revolt! Form a splinter government!

Oh, what, the Democratic People's Alliance of Necromancers, Eliza?

Yes! But Allegiance instead of Alliance so we have a better acronym!

Wouldn't it still be an A...?

A.G.

Also People is Republic, too.

Oh, I see your game, Eliza...

[Grinning fangily. Dog grin.]

How cunning.

Thank you.

[ having been out for a good while, the garden isn't really the first place elaine decides to check up on, but she does eventually make her way there - she doesn't care for the effect open spaces tend to have on her nerves, but the flowers even things out a bit; it's uniquely calming to be out among the flowers for a bit, centers her in her intent and purpose in a different way than smoking.

so when she sees naeva she seems decidedly more relaxed than usual. is it the environment? did the absence do her some good?

well, you know. ]

Ah... What is it that you're writing...?

[She'd begun to wonder if she was the only one left on Senna, to be honest. certainly, it's a little surprising to suddenly see Elaine up and about, enough so the surprise on Naeva's face is truly visible and readable.

The smaller jackal with her--Estelle--has decided to get up and come inspect this stranger. Hello yes do you have pets.]

...I am trying to think of what food crops could be grown here. If I write them down, then it becomes easier to purchase seeds than just relying on my memory.

[A long pause.] Since I don't need to eat food and am a hunter and obligate carnivore aside, it's a little difficult to think of things.

[ she just sort of

stares down at Estelle for a bit before kneeling to pet her, one-handed, with some awkwardness. what do you............ do with animals............................. she knows but it's been so long...................................

in fact this takes up so much of her attention that she doesn't answer naeva at all for a good few moments. this is a lot for her. ]

Is it an interest of yours...?

Gardening is somewhat, but I feel it's also a good idea to practice some self-sufficiency.

[She doesn't explain why, immediately, watching Estelle helpfully demand tummy rubs.]

Until you woke up, I was beginning to believe I was now alone on Senna. Several other teams seem to be similarly losing members. That's not exactly a good sign in regards to the Prince's energy. If we can rely on it less...

They're multiplying...

They can hear you.

[Her ear just flicked. She didn't even move.]

With those ears, I hope so.
