♕ 4th - video - A Rose In Bloom

[ this month, elizabeth is all smiles—and it's neither forced not an act of pretense. she truly is quite altered from last month's angst now that her mother has awakened. her red hair is plaited with ribbons for the first time in months, and she is wearing one of the new gowns she has sewn with nuala. to a new arrival, it will appear as though she is seated outdoors, though she is merely relaxing by one of the streams which criss-cross the oxygen gardens.

her face is flushed with her joy, and it reaches her eyes to brighten them while she regards the camera with a barely-contained grin upon her face. ]


Greetings, fair Tranquility. How does everyone fare this month? I have a query to put to you all:

Once, I believe there was a tradition of large communal feasts being held here, be it weekly or monthly. And the good lady who held them has departed since, causing an end to it.

I would think she would find that a great shame, indeed. Thus I propose that we should hold them again, either weekly or monthly depending upon the preference of the majority of you, and that we take this opportunity to eat together and know one-another better. What say you?

[ she will even provide the music, if necessary! honestly, these dreams of home have rendered her a bit homesick for such entertainment and interaction with others. and here, she does not technically require to keep her true nature hidden from those she socializes with.

elizabeth hesitates, as though she believes herself to be finished, and then adds hastily: ]


Lady Éowyn, might we speak in private at your earliest convenience?

It seems to be a problem in a lot of places.

Well. Not the jumps.

( the reaction is - unsurprising, and she crushes the brief disappointment ruthlessly. she knew going into it that that was going to be difficult and that severus' temperament combined with elizabeth's might make it moreso. it isn't sufficient to induce her to give up, and she certainly hasn't ceased to care, so she simply takes this distance in stride, and doesn't allow her own warmth to dim.

she is measured, a courtesy to that distance elizabeth enacts between them, but her manner is an open hand that may be clasped again at any time. )


You'll tell me if you've any need of aid?

A right good idea. I would try to make something--but I've never been a very good cook.

[He smiles.]

I could try to make something, though.

Well I am happy she will be there, but I would come regardless.

[ for a while, elena says nothing. she has nothing to say. the dinners were all jenna, and even though elena joined them every time, it's not like she had much to do with them. she's fine with them starting up again, but she doesn't really think she wants to participate. they were special, jenna's dinners, and it would feel wrong to go to one inspired by her without her here.

but she knew jenna wouldn't want her thinking like that. jenna would want her to offer to help, she'd want elena to try her best to stay connected to people. elena's been trying, but it's hard, having lost so much.

eventually, she turns on a video feed, and offers up a small smile.
]

My... aunt was the one who organized those dinners before. She'd like that they're continuing, even without her here. I'd like to help you with them, if that's okay? She'd want me to.

Jenna was an amazing person. She was here from the very first jump, the ship's not the same without her.

[ elena herself only got here about six or seven jumps ago, but she is certain of that much. nathan wouldn't be the same, at the very least, and neither would the rest of the mystic falls group. the only consolation in all this loss is that neither jenna or alaric had to deal with being on the ship without each other. elena wasn't sure she could have handled seeing the heartbreak they'd have to go through after that kind of loss. ]

Oh, that won't be hard to do, you're halfway there already. She'd be really happy to see someone carry on the tradition. I'll take to her best friend, he's been around longer than I have and he can give us pointers.

I'll skip the socials, but if you need a musician...

( lazy salute. it's not often something on this ship comes up that her skills are actually relevant to, she might as well. )

I'll take requests from the 1960s to the 2000s, within reason. Screamo is right out.

I'm going to teach you Free Bird. ( ilde you're a terrible fuckin person. ) But I have a fairly broad repertoire, and my cello. If there's a piano, it'd be easier to play that and sing.

--and I can always do the old Latin hymns if you like.

I can't say I know how to cook beyond campfire fare, but I'd be happy to help fetch anything that might be needed. It's a good idea, especially for people who are new. Or if - all this is far more different than they're used to. [He looks around at his surroundings when he pauses. Suffice to say, it's something more like what they'd have back home, which means it's more than welcome.]
