The York Gallery, Wednesday August 5th

Shilo was still in somewhat of a sugar coma today. She got the floor swept up and put out a bowl of leftover candy from the previous night's festivities before starting to doze at the reception desk.

"'Girl thing' my ass," she mumbled, thinking of the previous night's radio broadcast. "It was totally open to guys too..."

The York Gallery is open.

Look at Shilo napping! (She'll totally claim that she was just appreciating the AC and didn't hear you come in.)

Liir approached the desk carefully, making sure not to swing the bags of food too loudly.

"Shilo?"

Shilo's head snapped forward suddenly. "Nguh what?" she said, and then ran a hand over her eyes. "Oh, hi Liir. How are you?"

His tight smile was all the answer given to that before he spoke.

"Shilo. How are you doing? Did you bring lunch today?"

"Lunch?" Shilo blinked, and tried to remember the morning preparations she'd gone through. "No, I'd forgotten. Why?" Her eyes went from him, to the bags, and back again.

He wiggled the bag.

"I've a ~~moddable~~ sandwich, some lemonade, and white chocolate blueberry ice cream in here. You're welcome to one of each, compliments of the Cafe Fina."

"Liir, you are such a sweetheart," she replied, smiling. "Real food sounds fantastic after last night."

He chuckled, just a little, and pulled out a jar of the lavender lemonade, a serving of the ice cream, and opened the bag of sandwiches for her to grab what she liked.

"Just... trying to be helpful."

He needed it, after last week.

Shilo checked both sandwiches, and opted for the chicken salad one. "So how are your workshops going?" she asked, and then took a bite.

He shrugged.

"Well enough. I'm learning just how much I already knew in some cases."

Shilo nodded. "I know that feeling." She gestured to the candy bowl. "Help yourself, by the way. I'm not going to want candy for weeks."

He shook his head.

"Thank you, but I've been tasting at the ice cream all morning. Best I keep it to that. How about you? How are your workshops?"

"Probably a good idea," she said. "They're going well. I keep feeling like I should be doing something harder, but then I remind myself that it's just summer classes." She laughed a little at that. "I almost wish I could do magic, so I could be taking the magic classes too. Those sound really interesting."

"I've never taken one, to be perfectly honest."

~~Mostly because my mun is one of the ones who teaches them.~~

"But I'm taking private instruction from the Lady Glinda. She's actually from my world. It's quite different from what I was used to doing, but interesting itself."

"I haven't run into her yet ~~because that would break my mun's brain~~, though she sounds interesting from what I've heard on the radio," Shilo replied.

"She's... quite interesting. An old friend of a relative, which makes things awkward at times. But I'm glad she's here."

And not there.

"Well, she can't be all that bad then," Shilo said. She took a sip from her lemonade. "I almost wish someone from my time was here... but then again I don't."

Because with her luck, it would be Luigi or Pavi Largo.

~~Say no to Largo!~~

"When I first came here," he shared as he leaned on the counter, "there was a professor from something like five hundred years in my world's future. It was very odd, what he thought was myth and what he learned to be truth. And the things he told me about Oz's future were very strange."

"Sounds like me trying to explain that we weren't living on the moon yet to Robin," she said. "I hated to do so. He looked so disappointed by it."

"You're from this world's future, then?" he asked curiously.

She nodded, silently. After a moment, she said, "It's a bad, bad place. I'm trying to figure out if I can do anything here to change it."

"You and I both," he said quietly, "so I wish you good luck. Worlds don't change easily, I'm afraid. They're stubborn things."

"Probably because of all the people in them. People don't like to change, so a world full of people really doesn't want to change for just one person, or a few," Shilo sighed. "We'll just both have to be stubborn about it."

"And hope to hell it works," he agreed with a smile, "yes, yes, I'm with you there."

"Exactly," she replied, and took her first bite of the ice cream. "Omigod, this is good..."

He tried not to chuckle smugly, but it didn't quite work.

"Glad you enjoy. I'm going to head out for the moment, but you enjoy your lunch, of course."

"Thank you again, Liir," she said, getting up to see him out the door. "I'm glad for friends like you."

He paused for a moment.

"I'm glad to know you as well. To call you friend."

Then he slipped out of the door, smiling a little more genuinely.

Look at art!

And now to work on the app for Jack Skellington!
