Carry on

Goodness, it's almost May already. I should start putting in the garden for this year. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to plant?

Mal, I've collected some of my favorite recipes, I'd like to send them to Claire. Do you have her address? Or should I send them care of Rachel?

I don't know her address. Sorry. I was- *clears his throat, with a false casual tone* I was um- just about to send off a letter to Rachel, actually. If you want I can slip them in there with a note to pass them on to Claire?

[songless_psiren]

Ah. ...Yes, thank you. Here. *hands over a small bundle of little pieces of paper with recipes written on them* And tell Rachel she's of course also welcome to use the recipes herself.

*takes the recipes carefully, smoothing them out in his hands and nodding* Yeah, I'll do that. *pauses, not sure if he should go on, then adds very quickly* I'm- the letter's about what you said she said to you, I mean, about her thinking I hate her. I'm trying to set it straight. But- without making a complete fool out of myself.

*nods slowly* ...What does it say? ...Or, I mean, you don't have to tell me. *feels weird about asking, but he did just sort of volunteer the information*

[ishbalriffs]

*shrugs, ears going a little redder* Not everything, obviously. Just- some stuff about getting to know her and how I think she's really cool, and how I know Moshe says he doesn't mind if I'm around but I feel like they deserve a chance to start a new family and be together without me gettin' in the way.

*smiles a little bit, although she looks a little sad around the eyes, tries to cover it by messing with her hair a little, so she doesn't embarrass him* ...I think that will make her happy.
