... Yeah, I thought you might. [she mutters.] The way things are I figure the list of people I don't want to lose is going to go real high, just like you said.
[she absently rubs at her sternum.] But... they're my family. My real family. So.
[she hesitates, just a moment, before she sets the meringue aside and reaches for her notebook, flipping through it.
after one more pause, she lets beau get a better look at the page she's stopped on. it looks like it might be a recreation of a portrait or photo-- seven people in matching uniforms, with lucretia in the center, though it's a younger version of her. she points out each as she goes over their names.]
Lup, Barry, Taako, Magnus, Merle, and Davenport. The seven of us were on an exploratory mission-- I was serving as its chronicler, in the beginning.
[extremely so. she picks the piping bag back up, working again while she speaks.]
I'm still working with three of them to try to fix everything, technically speaking, but things are-- it got... pretty rough, after what we did to the world.
[and she's quiet for a minute, after that, but.]
When it's all over, I hope that those of us who are left can still come back together again.

[she finishes up with the meringue batter, starting to move it into a piping bag.]
I understand that well enough. The people I traveled with-- they're my family, too, and if any of them were here, I wouldn't let this place take them.

Tell me more about them? [her family. she's curious.] Are they the people in your notebook?

she looks over the picture, head tilting.] Oh. Somehow I didn't realize you had elves and dwarves where you came from.
... This is a nice picture.

[he's just a fucking tiefling, guys. also haha yeah of course it was gonna be that picture what else flurry
she's smiling as she looks down at it, but there's definitely something a little bittersweet to it.]
But- thank you. I don't have the original here, so this is sort of-- it's the next best thing.
