Here's a once-familiar face

There's never much rhyme or reason to how long it's been since people see each other when Milliways is involved. But whether the time is long or short (or perceived as long or short) Parker's greeting would be largely the same.

Which is a grin, open arms, and a squee that sorority pledges during Rush Week would envy.

"Amy!"

[kitchen_maid]

"Hello, Parker," Amy says, Cheerfully.

Parker gets a hug.

"Susan was just asking about you this morning."

[parkerlee]

Parker returns the squeeze.

"How are the munchkins? I feel like I haven't visited in forever."

Though Amy doesn't look all that different, so it likely hasn't been that long.

[kitchen_maid]

"They're well.

"Susan was four, last month. And Merry is into everything. And Caspian is crawling everywhere, and so quickly that you can't turn your back for a second, while Laurie just sits there and watches him."

Marian's coming out from The Dogs Playing Poker, when she spots a familiar, not all that long ago for her, person ducking out the Back Door, headed in a determined manner.

It's too far and too many people to shout across, properly, and since she hadn't any plans past getting some tea, she decides to follow out the back Door, once crossing the room, instead.

Marian will find Amy checking on Dar and Kiseki, then.

It's not that she has any reservations about the care they're receiving, but she still wants to look in.

[queenofmay]

"Good evening, Queen Amy." And if the words are formal, perhaps, it is something about Marian's amused, calm smile. That betrays more something along the lines of being relieved and quite pleased to see that her assumption of that headed person was correct all along.

"I'm only ever Amy here," Amy says (mostly truthfully).

"Hello, Marian.

"How are you?"

There's a tall, green, uniformed youth in the stables, tending to stable-y things.

[kitchen_maid]

Once upon a time, Amy spent a lot of time out in these stables.

And they haven't changed so very much since the days her brother ran them.

The green boy gets a slight nod as Amy makes her way over to Dar's stall.

"Hello, girl."

[a1enzo]

"That one's yours?"

[kitchen_maid]

Amy nods.

"Yes.

"Darjeeling.

"Dar."

[cutting_edgex23]

"Amy."

X's speech is often simple, much like her wardrobe.

She does not seem to mind.

"You have been busy?"

Beat.

"At home."

As if that were unclear.

[kitchen_maid]

"Yes, though no busier than usual, and with nothing too worrisome.

"Hello, Laura.

"How are you?"

[cutting_edgex23]

"Good."

X's response is firm.

At least this part of her response is.

"I am okay, too. And it has been quiet. For me."

Beat.

"At home."

[kitchen_maid]

"Good," Amy says.

"Sometimes, a little quiet is nice.

"Norman was asking if we were expecting you the other day."
