A. Town: Food store
[Apparently as wife it was her job to do the food shopping for the household, which was an interesting experience to say the least. She had a list of food that she was supposed to get but stops and looks at every item that catches her eye. Human food was so interesting and the packaging was often pretty! While her list may not be

[And apparently it was the job of the only son to go with her and pick out food and also carry what they have so far.]

Don't forget that we need to get more honey for my lusus.

[motherofjegus]

We can get the honey in the bottle shaped like an animal, I am fond of that one. [except she's staring at this huge wall full of bread. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OPTIONS] Are you aware of the differences in these items?

[3dvi2iion]

Sure.

[He blinks]

Which items?

[motherofjegus]

[She holds out two different loaves of bread, one white and one wheat] Besides color is there any difference between the two?

[dreambubbly]

[Having failed to find appropriate plushies in the toy shops, it's time to try making them. Feferi's busy comparing fabric swatches and humming to herself. But when she sees Dolorosa out of the corner of her eye, she waves and smiles.]

[motherofjegus]

[Dolorosa waves back and approaches her] What brings you here?

[dreambubbly]

There's a human winter holiday coming up. I wanted to get everyguppy plushies that look like their lusus, but I couldn't find any, so I decided I'd try and make them. I'm trying to find the right fabric to use.

[motherofjegus]

[she tilts her head to the side a bit] What kind of human winter holiday? [she smiles] I would be happy to assist you in your search for fabric.

D.

[crusthatecean]

Oh.

[He immediately feels a strange combination of fury at Sollux and guilt and self-loathing about her. He never meant for this to get back to her. He doesn't want her to look down on him, but with the Signless' arrival, it's gotten too difficult for him to cope with this ancestor situation anymore.]

Sure.

[motherofjegus]

[But that's the thing, she would never look down on him. She is well aware that he's not Signless, nor does she expect him to do the things that Signless has done. She does believe that everyone is capable of greatness, and with the leadership he has shown, she believes he is destined for great things]
Oh! To be honest I am surprised you answered. How are you? [She'll feel him out a bit before going into it]

[crusthatecean]

I...

[Awful, he wants to say. Everything is falling apart at once and it hurts so much, and he doesn't know what to do about it anymore. But that isn't what he says.]

Fine. I can't complain.

[motherofjegus]

[In a reassuring voice] But it is not fine, is it? Things are difficult for you right now. [she wants to say more but she'll once again wait for him to answer]

-An odd girl with wings and a tail also seems to be shopping for fabric...-

Excuse me, but you seem to be looking for something specific?

[motherofjegus]

[She only stares for a moment but then acts like she looks like no different than the others]

I'm looking for durable fabrics!

[heteropennae]

How durable must it be, ma'am? -A good reaction.-

[motherofjegus]

Hmm, well I am making clothes for a friend and she is rather adventurous and wild, so I need something very durable that does not restrict movement.

*And in doing so she might bump into Kanaya. No, literally bump into her - the younger troll is carrying so much yarn in various colors that she can't see in front of her.* Ah! Pardon me.

[motherofjegus]

Oh! [She picks up some stray yarn that was knocked over in their encounter] Would you like some help carrying this?

This is their first IRL meeting, isn't it?

[chastesaw]

Oh no, I'm-- I'm perfectly fine, I assure you, if perhaps slightly overburdened. I would hate to be a nuisance. *That voice sounds fairly familiar.*

yes it is!

[motherofjegus]

[This girl sounds familiar as well!] It is no trouble at all, you would not be a nuisance, I am always happy to help. [she goes to take a peek at the person behind the yarn] Forgive my assumption, but are you Kanaya?
