Hm.

[There's a pause after this thoughtful noise and then the voice, recognizable as Riza's, speaks again.]

I think I could get used to baking pies. I still need a little work, though.

I hope everyone has been taking advantage of this overabundance of apples. We might get sick of them, but it's food and we never know if we could run into a

[Long overdue is right. Things have been strange between them ever since the previous event. No, from the very beginning, but it had been easier to ignore. For her sake he had held back his questions, but he's glad that now she's bridged that gap. It's disconcerting, having other people know things about you that you don't, and he doesn't care for the feeling.

Roy doesn't bother responding to her on the network; he simply goes and immediately seeks her out.]

[She knew if she didn't bring this up soon, she'd shove it all to the back of her mind and continue ignoring it to the best of her ability. But that wasn't fair to Roy, not when this one hadn't had any choice in the matter.

He deserves the truth, that much has always been obvious. Riza just needed to get comfortable with that fact.

She's in the kitchen, putting various apples in the icebox, mostly out of a distraction than a need, but when he sees him approach, she speaks to give him a better idea of where she is.]

Are you going to share?

[arrayed_back]

Perhaps with friends.

[AKA she doesn't know you.]

[impertinenti]

What's your name?

[ AKA, he's hungry enough to attempt to befriend random city-goers for pie. ]

[arrayed_back]

Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.

[Good luck.]

[saintedsinner]

...

What was that, Lieutenant?

voices; trolls gotta troll

[grandvision]

Food is critical for proper growth. I applaud the Lieutenant's foresight.

voices; dammit

[saintedsinner]

Uh huh. That's not what she said.

voice; mwahaha

[grandvision]

After all, if we run into a food shortage, it could shorten people's life spans. Young children may never get the chance to grow!
