"Thank you!"

Rebecca starts on dinner, which is a pot of some grain with butter and salt. "Oh, you cleaned up! Thank you!"

Permalink

"I wanted something to do, and there were dishes, so I did them."

Permalink

"I'm impressed!"

Permalink

She grins proudly.

Permalink

"Wanna hear about my day?"

Permalink

"Yes!"

Permalink

Rebecca starts talking. And talking. Her words don't contain any details about what she actually does, aside from vague mentions of couriering documents from one place to another in the city. She does spend several minutes complaining about her boss, Lieutenant General Grumman. She mentions post offices (she resents being treated like one), chess (Grumman is apparently very good), and horses (she likes them except for that one horse who ate part of her bag a year ago).

It's informative about context and soothing to listen to. Anne approves.

And then Rebecca serves the food! It's hearty and simple. She stops talking to wolf her portion down.

Permalink

Anne approves of the food, too.

Permalink

"How've you been feeling?"

Permalink

"Okay, mostly. I wanted to introduce myself to your neighbours but then I was too shy."

Permalink

"We could go meet them now! Ooh, or we could make cookies first and give them cookies!"

Permalink

"That sounds like a great idea!"

Permalink

Cookies! Rather more than could possibly be eaten by two women who just had dinner. Funny.

 

They go ring the Tuckers' doorbell first.

"Yes? My wife's not home if you wanted to see her ..."

Permalink

"Oh, no! I wanted to introduce my new roommate; this is Anne. She's interested in alchemy."

Permalink

"Hi," says Anne. "We have cookies!"

Permalink

"I can smell them! Come in, come in."

 

Their apartment is filled with books. He takes the cookies and sets them on a table. "I haven't been cleaning lately; I've been so busy studying for the exam."

Permalink

"Oh wow," says Anne, impressed. "That's a lot of books."

Permalink

"Oh, yes, I suppose so," he scratches the back of his neck. 

Permalink

She smiles at him. "Are they all for studying? Must be some exam!"

Permalink

"One of the requirements is original research or demonstrated combat applicability of a technique, and you need a lot of books to do that properly." He frowns.

Permalink

"Oh, what are you researching?"

Permalink

"Animal medicine, mostly."
