I don't believe in fretting and greiving, why mess around with strife?

[In some ways, this trial was simpler. The killer was lacking in remorse, the victim innocent. The lines were clearer. Was that better, or worse?

Either way, Fern and Alex make up something of a green team, preparing a meal in the kitchen. Nothing particularly complicated. Coffee and water for whoever want it is at one end of the dining table. Along the rest of it is a variety of foods. A plate of cheese and crackers, a bowl of salad and carrots for the healthy people, some handy finger sandwiches, and... a big pot of mac and cheese. What they lack in presentation they make up in sheer volume of food. That's a big tub of mac and cheese.

They struggle with the invitations for a bit before eventually coming up with possibly the most awkward phrasing possible. These notes are quietly shoved under doors with little fanfare more than a quick knock.


We got food in eat place. Food is good to eat. Enjoy food with us?

[The dining area is lined up with some appropriate decorations, quick paper streamers and even some doodles that have been taped to the walls.

Its possible too simple. But maybe people need something simple to gorge on after a complicated day.]

Because we're a difference in kind [ Species ] and here I am, seeing my grandchildren when I look at you people.

...If I may say so, I don't believe that's such a bad thing. After all - it means you care for the people here. Learning to care for each other and working together is the only way we're going to be able to leave this place safely.

[ she can say so, but Elda's not going to fully agree. Maybe that is somewhat accurate, but the fact of the matter is... no. No, she can't do that. Care about people? Sure, maybe she can't help it because of how soft she's gotten... But she'll never be friends with a human. Never.

She said as much, right? She exhales, shaking her head and waving a hand to make it unclear if she agrees or not but she is at least sort of agreeing. ]

[A pause.]

I apologize, but I am uncertain about what you are trying to tell me.

[matchbreaker]

Honestly, I'm not either.

[ The gesture was vague on purpose. But she now is going to stand. ]

Still, I think I'm going to stretch my legs. I'll see you later, princess.

[ and she's going to leave the dining room. ]
