Sometimes, everyone needs a break. Tonight, Ace is curled up in her comfy chair by the fire with a book she scrouged out of the mid-twenty-first century Earth, when she stopped in for a bit of shopping and lunch a few weeks ago

Xas looks over at the laughing girl from his own seat by the fire.

"You're enjoying the book, I take it?"

Ace looks over, still grinning broadly.
"S'nice t'read a book sometimes that manages t'be even more surreal than m'own life." Ace explains, cheerfully. "That, an' imaginin' a friend as a giant cucumber is terribly amusin'."

Xas' eyebrows go up.

"Only, I would imagine, if you're not particularly fond of cooking cucumbers. Or eating them raw."

Then he smiles.

"But, yes, I can't quite disagree about the worth of a good book--or at least an interesting one."

"Don't believe I've seen you about. I'm Ace, how do." She offers her hand, slipping a bit of scrap paper into her place in the book and tucking it away with the other.
