21 - Waiting for Spring - 21

[onemanshort]

[With the weather finally improving, Kaylee’s gone out to the stables to work on her Mule. Except, after Valentine’s and Slenderman and how crazy things got, she’s finding that it’s hard to concentrate.

The journal, having flipped open on its own, picks up the sound of metal and mechanics for just a few minutes before she sighs and takes a break]

Can't say I generally notice the cold.

Couldn't you wish for some?

[onemanshort]

...

No. Guess that ain't really a problem for you, is it?

[a laugh]

Wishin' for flowers aint' the same as seein' 'em grow. And even if I wished 'em into the ground, it ain't quite warm enough for 'em yet. They'd probably just shrivel up on me, and that's sadder'n anything.

[breakmychest]

Yeah, there's some benefits to the whole undead thing.

[You can't see it, but he's grinning.]

Couldn't you wish for a flower that blooms in the winter?

[onemanshort]

Then I'd still have t'be out in the cold to appreciate 'em. Much better if Spring would just hurry up and get here proper-like.

At least around here, the snow melts eventually.

Spent enough time on an ice planet to appreciate that.

Been on a few of those two, actually. Guess we really could have it worse... if Paradisa decides t'go and change the weather, I'm gonna have t'find a new place to work. Losin' three months t'cold and snow is drivin' me crazy enough.

[hanfreakingsolo]

What kind of work are you doin'? Mechanical, I take it.

[onemanshort]

Well, that's the hope. I've been wantin' to get my Mule up and runnin'. She's that land transport I was tellin' you about before. Except, she's too big t'keep up on the fifth floor (at least, if I was wantin' to bring her back down again), and but the stables ain't exactly ideal neither.
