[GOOD DAY TO YOU, MAYFIELD! Did you notice a distinct lack of Miakis in your lives in recent weeks, while she was dead, transformed into a dragon horse, and then droned, all in rapid succession? Of course you did~ No need to worry, because she's back, bitches.She's feeling a little blue due to recent events, but cheering up after a bad day (or,

Comments

[lady_general]

You know, for once, I'd be happy to accept that offer, Miakis. I feel I could use some cheering up myself.

[Action]

[lady_general]

[Celes has gotten ready, her coat is draped over her arm instead of on her because she is crazy and likes being cold.]

[Action]

[sting_like_a]

[Miakis, meanwhile, is bundled the fuck up because she does not like being cold, nope. She's even wearing pants! She'll greet Celes with a broad smile and a wave, looking far more excited than she has much right to be, really.]

Ready to go~?

Re: [Action]

[lady_general]

Quite ready. I haven't warned Dias, though. [She adjusts Miakis' scarf] Oh, come now, it's certainly not so cold out there to warrant pants, is it?

[Fufufufu, she pickin' on you, Miakis.]

[sting_like_a]

Well, then, that just means we'll get to surprise your darling husband~ [She sighs and tugs her hat over her ears.] Hey, it doesn't get this cold in Falena! I'm not used to all this snow...

[lady_general]

You would hate Narshe, Miakis. Snow, year-round, and up to your knees in it. I've only been there once, and I have little desire to go again, to be quite frank. [And this from her. It must suck.]

Let's go, Miakis, before you turn into an icicle. [Celes offers the MOST GENTLEMANLY OF ARMS. Your virtue is safe with her, Miakis.]

[sting_like_a]

Sounds like the Ashtwal Mountains. Never climbing those again, nope.

[Virtue, what virtue. But Miakis accepts the arm happily!] I think I did a pretty good job of bundling up, though! I'm nice and toasty under all these layers~

[lady_general]

[She will pretend virtue for your sake, Miakis!] You do look very warm, yes. Too warm for my taste, but I like the cold, even the capital of the Empire was cold sometimes, though I worried more about the pollution killing my roses. [You do not mess with her roses, man. She will cut you.]

[She steps over a patch of sneaky ice on the sidewalk] It was the best weather to drink mulled wine, though, which I doubt this place would even have. [grumble.]

[sting_like_a]

I don't like the cold much. The snow is nice, but I'd rather have lots of sunshine~ It's good for flowers, too!

And no, Mayfield's selection of alcohol is... pretty limited. What I wouldn't give for some Kanakan wine right about now~

[lady_general]

Kanker... Kanacker... what?

[sting_like_a]

Kanakan! It's a country to the north of Falena... All you really need to know is that they make really good booze there~

[lady_general]

Do they? When I attended state dinners, [Celes makes a face] they served alcohol from all over the Empire, but rarely told me where it was from. I haven't had a good wine in ages.

[sting_like_a]

Well, maybe the town will be kind enough to send me some in the mail someday~ I'll share with you, if they ever do.

[lady_general]

I'll be sure to gratefully accept it.

[Celes stops for a minute, to figure out which direction they need to go in. It was... left? Well, screw it, they'll get there. DEY GOING LEFT, MIAKIS.] It occurs to me that I haven't actually bothered Dias at work before.

[sting_like_a]

Reaaaally? [Miakis knows the way from her house, but not Celes's. WHATEVER, WE'LL FIND IT EVENTUALLY.] Well, that just means he'll be pleasantly surprised to see his beloved wife~
