i should learn not to derp out at times

[Summer's approaching, and mom's done with her spring cleaning. And to celebrate, mom's outside enjoying the calm weather. Right next to her is a pitcher of lemonade, some glasses, and a small cake placed on top of the garden table. She watches the people passing by and smiles at them whenever they looked.]

Lovely day isn't it, dear?

[Come and

[not son, but a surprised looking rival!]

... Ah, yes, it is, I guess.

[comehomered]

[Mom nods.]

Well, it's been a while since you last visited, Green. How are you doing? [She takes a sip of her lemonade.]

[neededacrit]

Ah, yeah, been busy and all that... [umm]

How are you, Miss?

[comehomered]

I'm fine as well, dear. [And she smiles.]

Would you like a drink? Or... are you busy today?

[neededacrit]

Lemonade--? [that is clearly lemonade]

... ah, well, there's not exactly much else to do here. I can't really be busy.

[comehomered]

Yes, it's Lemonade. My specialty too.

Well, alright. Come and I'll pour a glass for you.

[neededacrit]

Ah, if you insist, I guess. [smile! We will sit down]

... uh, have you been here long?

[comehomered]

[She nods.] Eight months is really long, isn't it?

[neededacrit]

[just a blink in response, he's sitting up very straight]

Yeah, but... not so bad. I mean, just a long vacation, huh? Being away from home should be nice.

[comehomered]

It's nice, yes... but... [She pours some lemonade in an empty glass for Green.] It can't be helped but feel a little homesick. And I can't leave either. Those who arrive here will be stuck here for quiet a long while.

That's what Red told me. [And she takes a sip of her lemonade.]

[neededacrit]

... you see Red here?

[comehomered]

Of course. One is staying here in this house. And the others sometimes stop by to visit. [Because sadly, mom doesn't have room for a bajillion of her babies to stay.]

[neededacrit]

... you seem really happy. [we'll finally take that lemonade, adjusting our posture a bit to flop into something that might be more relaxed]

[comehomered]

Well, knowing that my son is here safe and sound, of course I am.

[neededacrit]

Yeah... yeah, of course. [siiip... oh that is good]

[comehomered]

How's the Lemonade, dear?
