[Getting sent to Westport by the weeping angels was more than a little unsettling for Miakis, not to mention highly unpleasant and exhausting. When she returns to Mayfield on Thursday, she eats a larger meal than a woman of her size and stature should be capable of consuming, takes a long nap, and... talks to her drone husband.

Dammit, Ken. It's

"You're welcome to come here... I'm Ruri. Scott and Tom have been quiet and things here... Weren't nice. I need help removing the barricade I set up."

[sting_like_a]

Hi, Ruri! I'm Miakis~

I juuuust might take you up on that offer~ Quiet actually sounds kinda nice, for once. [a beat] What kinda barricade?

[hontobakabaka]

"My bed and dresser in front of the door, a book case in front of the window, well near it, I had to get out of the room somehow. Those creepy statues were stalking me and well... I guess I over reacted."

"That being said, for some reason, I haven't much liked solitude since. Perhaps its lingering paranoia. There's also chocolate cake here."

[sting_like_a]

Well, it's not a bad way of keeping those statues out... I think. I dunno, they were pretty powerful...

I've never liked being alone, myself~... Cake, though. You're getting more and more tempting!

[hontobakabaka]

"The offer is open at 2242 Stevens... And... Other than Omoikane I grew up alone mostly, so, I'm kind of used to it. I guess three years with people does things to you."

[sting_like_a]

Three years can be a really long time! Enough to change a person, definitely.

2242 Stevens... [a pause as she scribbles that down] Thanks, I appreciate it~ Not many people are willing to take in a stranger!

"I was taught that its better to be kind, you never know if you'll find a friend. You should meet the crew of my ship back home...."

[sting_like_a]

I wish more people around here believed in stuff like that... This place would be a lot more tolerable if people were a little nicer!

...Ooh, a ship, huh? I love boating!

[hontobakabaka]

"It wasn't a boat. The Nadesico is a space capable battleship. Though, when we were over the ocean we did go fishing off of it once. Well... The cooks did."

[sting_like_a]

Space capable...? [Technology, it is lost on the Miakis.] Well, fishing is a lot of fun! We did it a lot back home, too... Well, the Prince did; I just cheered him on~

[hontobakabaka]

"I've never met a prince before... Yurika said I had to one day, but, it all seems kind of silly."

[sting_like_a]

Why would you have to meet one?

[hontobakabaka]

"When I was 12, I was informed I was the princess of a small banking nation. Yurika and Minato liked to tease me about that."

[sting_like_a]

Ooh, a princess, huh~? I'm a bodyguard for a princess back home! Except she's actually queen now, but... Ooh, stay out of that arranged marriage stuff. Nasty business~

[hontobakabaka]

"I've read stories of noble families using that as a way to take over the throne. That being said, I have six brothers, so, its not very important that I marry or anything. Truth be told, I've never been in love."

[sting_like_a]

It's a really effective means of taking over a country, soooo... yeah, those stories aren't far off~ But if you're not set to inherit the throne, I guess you don't have anything to worry about!

And I've never been in love, either! [...pause] Well, maybe. Anyway, it's not a big deal~ You have your whole life ahead of you and all that~
