[Just, you know, chilling out in the backyard doing Margot things. She adjusts the sleeves of her giant duster, rolling them up, as she goes about planting flowers. Yes. Flowers.

And then there is a GIANT FLIPPING SHADOW over her house.

And a loud crash in the front yard. Like, LOUD.

It's still too early for this.]

[meanwhile, on the front lawn...

LOOKING AT RUSSIA ACCUSATORILY IN THE COCKPIT]
