[Video] [Backdated five days to the twenty-fifth]

[When Sheila turns on her NV, she's standing over her kitchen stove. There are piles of dirty dishes in her arms and she shifts them with a soft clatter to the sink, and a feast of food sitting in a mountainous pile beside her, including some . She gives her forehead a mopping and looks ruefully into the screen.]


It hath been a long journey from the place I embark'd. To think that I once cook'd o're an open pit and had to watch my skirts afore they burst into flame. I hope that all hath attained peace at long last. And that all hath found a reason for thanks. 'Tis not quite Christmas yet, but the feast season hath begun.



I hath prepared a repast of thanks to Saint Catherine. Ye need not share my faith to join me in a cup! If any art hungry, my door remains open until sunset.





[OOC: It's just past Saint Catherine's Day, and Sheila's prepared a takeaway meal for all of her friends! This is open to action threads for any who want to come eat at her apartment.]

I do not mean to be trouble. It is my own fault I am in trouble. I know this. I... this is why I am in a bad mood, I suppose. It is just a worry - always here in my stomach. It is only as it was in France - but it makes it seem as if I will never be a lady. And here, Marius never talks to me either. And Yosuke is gone, and Madame Aqua...


And you try to help me and always I make a mess of it.

[.. Oh dear, now it's all just pouring out isn't it? Hattie, naturally, feels a bit frustrated by it, but who doesn't have troubles these days? .. Still, it'd be nicer if it were all about herself.]

I know, Eponine, and in a way I do not blame you. It is difficult to know who to trust and who you can not- and the way we have met did not simplify things for you.

[She hesitantly slips an arm over Eponine's shoulders to try to comfortingly squeeze her.]

I forgive your mistakes, and I hope you will someday forgive me for my own. Either way, I believe you realize you cannot move forward on your own just yet. We will work things out, one step at a time. Together. [She smiles] You'll see, things will get better. I promise.

[Well, at least Hattie understands that. Eponine takes a breath, mastering her emotions once more.]

Okay... Thank you, my lady.
