Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

The lawn was arranged with tables and chairs - some near the food, some not - and there was plenty of food to go around. The school had even wised up and put to-go boxes by the plates, so people didn't have to put food in their pockets to take it with them for later. No one was gonna judge you for making some pocket bacon, but at least now it wasn't a necessity.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

Breq could see through that last argument, but she accepted the gift.

"Thank you," she repeated while putting them on. "How have you been?"

"You know... I've actually been pretty good?" Sparkle, don't sound so bewildered about that. "Things are kind of starting to calm down, I think. And, I mean, I know I'll get bored sooner or later with everything going well, but bored's still better than going nuts because I can't keep up."

Well, that was both vague and weirdly specific.

"How about you?"

"I've been visiting a friend," Breq replied. "He invited a few os us to his homeworld, for the second time."

She smiled at Sparkle.

"It's a... a lot of it is very gentle."

"Gentle?" Sparkle smiled a little at that. "Sounds nice. I mean, especially if maybe you're not used to gentle otherwise, so much."

He didn't think for a moment that she was.

"So it was a good trip?"

"It was," Breq said. "I met a group of bird children who loved singing."

That had been the best part.

"Oh my god," Sparkle said, blinking. "That sounds adorable, I'm sorry I didn't get to see that."

"They were happy to sing for me all afternoon. I remember some of the melodies, but I can't actually sing them correctly of course," Breq said.

They had been adorable.

"You'd probably have to be a bird," or a small flock of birds, "to manage that, huh?" Sparkle smiled faintly. "There are some avian people in Atton's galaxy, but I've never had the pleasure of meeting them myself. I'm kind of jealous."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2019]

[justice_undone]

"Do they sing too?" Breq asked. "I don't know of any similar species in my universe."

Re: General Mingling [Spring 2019]

"I'm sure everyone's got some kind of song, right? Music from Atton's galaxy is pretty fun stuff, at least so far as I've heard. The things they play in cantinas, you know, while people are drinking?"

Sparkle smiled crookedly.

"Kind of grows on you."
