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

[bigdamnprincipal]

As the heat continued to bear down on the lawn, many of the tables and chairs were set up in the spots where there was shade, so no one got overheated or anything. That would be very rude for the first day in Fandom, after all.

[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!]

"Sure does," Nell said. "I ended up here that way myself."

She nibbled on one of the cookies she'd snagged. "Maybe a good thing, though. I surely was too young to be married even if it did save me from a worse man."

"Married?" Jules echoed. "You?" She clapped a hand over her mouth. "I didn't mean that to sound so rude! I just meant- you're right, that's a terribly young age to be wed already."

"Been married now for four years," Nell said. "Granted, two of 'em I've spent here, so m'not really sure they count."

Never had to do her wifely duties, though. They'd been waiting till she was 15 and she'd ended up here before that.

"It's unfortunately pretty normal back at the church I was raised in. More like a cult, you ask me."

"I would say that sounds about right," Jules agreed. "I'm glad you're here and not there."

"Me too," Nell admitted. "Though I do feel a bit guilty about leaving John, my husband, all alone when his other wife had just died. And my sisters. I always hoped I could get them out of the church."

She sighed, then managed a shrug. Which reminded her of her bag. "Oh! I got some samples of the teas and lotions I make to give to people here today. Would you like some?"
