PICNIC TIME!

[yulietorious]

It had been a while since Yulie had been able to properly spend time with her brother, and she was excited to finally get the chance, even if they weren't in exactly the best circumstances.

Despite being told about the City and how difficult it seemed to be to leave, she was going to make the best of it. So on a bright summer day, she decided to go with her brother to the park for a picnic.

She sat on the blanket that her brother had gotten, getting out the sandwiches and snacks she'd prepared that morning. The young paladienne was looking forward to spending a nice day with Kresnik.

Of course, she wouldn't object to others joining them if they happened to pass by.

Pausing for a few moments to eat in silence and enjoy the time with her brother, she started to wonder about the City. Sure, he'd told her about how it worked and that she should be careful, but...

"What else is there to do here?" she asked after finishing up her sandwich.

He enjoyed the silence with his sister, occasionally taking a few potato chips from the bag to eat.

When she suddenly asked him a question, Kresnik sat and chewed his sandwich before swallowing. "There is the..." ...What do people do around here? He's been so focused on returning home that he hasn't really engaged in any...activities.

After a moment, he finally answered. "...The library."

She'd figured, from the way he seemed in the time she'd been with him in the City so far. Still, it couldn't hurt to ask. And it was certainly a start.

"The library..." she repeated, looking curious. "How big is it?"

At least Yulie seemed somewhat interested in the library.

"The library is quite large. It's most likely the biggest one I have ever encountered so far."

"Really? We should visit it together sometime," she said with a smile.

"Alright, we will." He responded with a small nod. "...There might be some cookbooks in there that you can look at."

[yulietorious.livejournal.com]

"Good idea," Yulie replied. "I have been wanting to look for a few new recipes."

[gene-driver.livejournal.com]

"Is there anything in particular that you are thinking about?" Yulie was the cook in the family, he only knows how to make simple stuff to survive off of.

She looked thoughtful, tilting her head slightly. "Not really... Just something I haven't done before."

"Alright, that's fine too. The markets will most likely have all the ingredients that you'll ever need..." He stretched lightly before lying down on the blanket.

Yulie watched her brother lie down and decided that was a good idea, lying down beside him and staring at the sky, content.

He closed his eyes and let out a small but content sigh.

"...I enjoyed having a picnic with you, Yulie."

[yulietorious.livejournal.com]

"Me too," she replied, closing her eyes after a moment as well.

At times like these, even Kresnik could admit that the City was nice...
