[If you have a keen nose or happen to be passing by the spaceship, if might become apparent that someone's spent the better part of the day baking with maple syrup. (Adversely, if you happen to be inside the spaceship, chances are good you've already found the freshly baked stash of maple cookies big enough to feed the Royal Canadian Air Force (

Well done.

[Jill's been watching for a bit, after hearing the repetitive noise and going to investigate.]

[welljustwatchme]

Thank you.

[She doesn't stop, sparing only a glance Jill's way. If she wants something more from Canada, she'll say it.]

[freemade_grace]

Is this just how you get over this, or is this how you are and I was accidentally misled into thinking you were the type to sit with her hands folded on calm days [She's attempting conversation because she remembers her from before, and it might be rude not to. But then again, it might be rude to do so.]

[welljustwatchme]

I like having things to do.

[And thwack goes the ball against the spaceship.]

But today it's for getting over things.

[freemade_grace]

Anything you want to talk about, or should I leave you to this?

[welljustwatchme]

[Canada's silent a moment, catching the ball and keeping it as she looks at Jill.]

... Do you remember who I am?

[freemade_grace]

Canada. The one who's both a nation and a person, who talked to me about my poetry and a bit about her independence.

[welljustwatchme]

Thank you.

[Congratulations, Jill, you've won yourself a tiny, heartfelt smile.]

[freemade_grace]

[She offers a brief, close-lipped on in exchange.]

Why wouldn't I remember you?

[welljustwatchme]

I'm very forgettable.

[freemade_grace]

I beg to disagree.

[She complimented Jill's writing and put up with all her questions. That's more than enough.]

[welljustwatchme]

In that case, I thank you very much, Jill.
