(Snip!)

Mirembe welcomed the bottle and jabbed her free thumb at the balcony. If Bree’s gaze wandered, she might notice vines looming over the railing and plants lining its base. Amid them, a table stood adorned by an old cloth and petrified wood cutlery. M’Ahar wasn’t a uniform person but she made it work. Happily, she guided Bree to the door and tugged it open for her.

“Isn’t that half the fun?” She grinned almost conspiratorially after setting the bottle beside a mismatched glass vase. M’Ahar knew little about pairing alcohols, but she did know what tasted good and what didn’t. And she’d no doubt Bree had a keen sense for flavour.

“Anyway…” Mirembe shot a glance at the oven through the window. “There’s a few minutes left on the veggies. Have a seat if you’d like.”

“Thanks…” Bree settled on one of the chairs and lowered her hand to beckon the dog to her if it wanted more scratches. “You look pretty settled in. How long have you been here? Just a few months, myself. But I didn’t bring much so my place is still pretty sparse.” She laughed lightly watching Mire check on the dinner. “Honestly I hadn’t considered I’d have accommodations as opulent as mine are. I’m a little overwhelmed what to do with all the space. Used to a small bedroom of an almost equally small living area that double as dining area.”

Eo, compelled by a intrinsic love for attention, bimbled over to the newcomer. He wasn’t much concerned by who she was, only the quality of her scratches and whatever goods she’d accidentally drop on the floor.

Her quarters weren’t much different than this though angled slightly different due to her location. And other than a few scattered nick knacks, her quarterswere pretty bare.

“A week…” Mirembe chewed on her lip and struck a finger for ever day she recalled. It was useless. Shrugging, she tossed Bree a spirited grin and resolved, ”…long enough to peeve someone.” She watched as Bree described her barren quarters and the sudden upgrade from one-bedroom nook to metropolitan digs. “If you don’t mind my prying,” another idle glance at the oven, “what were you up to before Oed?”
