[ parvati's in her room, you think. it's a simple space. it isn't messy, but it isn't exactly clean either. there's a lot of things just scattered about; a few fledgeling plants in messy and lopsided clay pots, multiple toolsets, and various parts and knicknacks that are presumably for her use later. there's a large beanbag next to her window, and multiple shelves lined with trinkets. some that probably stand out are a wooden statuette of tenna t-posing (?), a crochet snow-pikachu, and a neatly folded scarf that inexplicably looks like a long bacon.

parvati herself is close to the pearl, that she's propped up on her small table that's covered in even more random parts she's acquired, and never used nor put away. screws, bolts, some rough equivalent to bobby pins she's found, hair ties...

she's shuffling in her seat, grinning from ear-to-ear does she even have ears in excitement about something she's holding out of frame. ]

Guys! Look what I found! [ whatever she's holding doesn't remain a mystery for long - she pulls it into frame and holds it up to the aperture. it's a picture of two women, in a hexagonal frame. ] No clue how it got here, but I had this! In my room! Back home!

[ a wistful sigh. she points to the woman sitting. ] That's what I look like. Looked like. [ her finger then moves to the woman who is standing. ] And that's Junlei! My girlfriend!

[ her glee is almost childlike. ]

Oh, Courier Six? He's great! He gave me a reference book of radioactive bugs for Christmas!

[edgewater]

[ ohhh. so that's what that was! ]

Ain't he? He doesn't give himself enough credit but I'm working on it.

[0dchess]

Glad to hear it, it's always important to make sure people feel appreciated. Especially when they can't appreciate themselves.

[edgewater]

He's a good roommate. Dunno what it is, but I feel real comfortable around him. [ she places her hands in her lap, swinging her legs. ]

[0dchess]

Glad to hear it! Cedric's been a great roommate too, it's nice. I haven't had a roommate since... [Kinger's face falls again.] Since my wife Abstracted, after all.

[edgewater]

[ parvati's already worked out kinger's wife was no longer with him (what with the past tense and all), but she isn't quite sure what that means. she doesn't really want to press further at the risk of upsetting him. ]

I'm sorry. Is it at least something you're getting used to again?

[0dchess]

Yeah. It took a while, but having new people show up back home gave me something to care about. That's what keeps me going here, too.

[edgewater]

You're real sweet, you know that Kinger?

[ she hopes he does. the bay needs more people with good hearts like him. ]

[0dchess]

You are too. I'm glad we finally got a chance to talk like this.
