[ oh okay, handholding. she just goes with it. ]

I guess. But there's that stage outside. That would be better for making announcements and things like that.

[undread]

[yay!]

True. Maybe it's for sleepovers!

[it is making her feel a little odd? nothing too out of the ordinary, but the feeling makes her want to stay here.]

[killies]

Maybe if everyone brought their own sleeping bags. And pushed all the hay out of the way so there was floor space.

[ wow a sleepover here doesn't sound that bad. mysteriously. ]

[undread]

I do feel as though I might like to stay in here and take a nap.

[or maybe not nap but lie down on the floor and let the earth reclaim her? she will go sit on the ground.]

It's nicer in here than it is out there.

[killies]

[ they're holding hands, so ash ends up following to just. sit. yes, this is good. stillness is good. ]

Yeah. It's a little darker, which is nice. Maybe they just used this place for the shade.

[yes, they can just sit together. she'll mildly lean her head against ash's.]

The bright sunlight is a little cloying after a while. And everyone crowding around the new locations is draining.

[killies]

[ well that's fine ]

Everywhere is always crowded. I thought it was bad when we only had the village...

[nodding...]

It's unusual to be around this many people and have it go well for me. And Imogen could never stand to be around many people at once, so we'd always have to avoid it.

[killies]

I don't blame them. I prefer being by myself.

... But it's going well for you? [ aside from the ritual murders. ]

[it's hard to think about it in here, but...]

Everyone here is nice. Well, nearly.

[killies]

Yeah. Nearly.

[chinhands.]

Oh! Who don't you like! Do tell!

[killies]

It's not about liking or not liking, some people just aren't as nice the rest.

[ it's karma. ]
