[ACTION; early morning; 747 Partridge Drive]

[The other residents of the Suikoweissassassinpancakehouse might notice that Miakis has finally snapped out of her droning, at long last! She's in the kitchen, fixing herself a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, humming softly and being cheerful in general! If she's upset at all about being droned --

"Hello Miakis... Cheesecake sounds nice if you'd like to come to my home. I... Had an accident with a car and am kind of stuck here for a bit."

[sting_like_a]

Sure, but -- accident? What happened, Ruri...?

[hontobakabaka]

"Drones are bad drivers."

[sting_like_a]

Not as bad as me, I bet!

[Ken is groggy in the mornings, you'll have to forgive him.] Mornin' 'kis...[Wait. Where's his? And it's just cereal...she isn't cooking?

...

.... .... !!!!!!!!!]

You're back! [Squee tackle hug]

[sting_like_a]

[OOF. That's an oddly enthusiastic greeting... Confused Miakis is confused. :|a]

Well, good morning to you too~

[weiss_tank]

[He hasn't stopped to consider things might still be awkward between them.]

I missed you! You were gone for a really long time!

[sting_like_a]

"Gone"? [A thoughtful pause. What does he mean by tha--] ...Oh. Did I get droned again?

[She returns his hug, a little gentler than she normally would because, yes, she is still a little uncomfortable after Ken's ~big reveal~. But that doesn't mean she's not happy to see him, of course!]

Well, I'm back~

After the phone call

[float_like_a]

Miakis! You're back!

[sting_like_a]

Yup! Sorry about that. I see I've been missed, at least~

[float_like_a]

Your drone is... hard to deal with.

[sting_like_a]

Eheh, so I've heard. At least my drone can cook~?

You were gone? So that's why it's been so quiet. [Ha ha.] We lost a few people. Grady's dead. They're trying to recruit a new police chief from the populace.

I think that's about it...

[sting_like_a]

I missed you too, Caesar~

We're always losing people. And I heard about Grady! Don't you think I'd make an excellent replacement?

[commentboxtroll]

Nope. Not even a little.

[sting_like_a]

You really need to have more faith in me!

[crimson_flashed]

A spar? [Priorities. She has them.]

[sting_like_a]

[Best priorities!]

Yeah! It's a great way to pass the time, stay in shape, and blow off steam~

[crimson_flashed]

[Amen.]

Mm. When, and where? [SHE IS OK WITH THIS.]

[sting_like_a]

How abouuuuut... the park in half an hour?
