Rachel: *presses button on her PINpoint, then takes back the phone* I'd say five minutes.

Karen: *squeak!*

Ruth: Hate you, *bleep*er.

Joe: *appears behind them*

Felicity: *sleepy sound*

Legacy: //...You used that fancy teleporter thing that Skylar was talking about, didn't you?//

Rachel: Yup. *tickles tiny dragon*

dragon: *peep! peep peep peep! Tiny legs flail as she rolls over onto her back*

Legacy: *amused* //Cheater. I'll have tea ready by then, hopefully.//

Rachel: Okay. *gently teasing grin for Karen* Aren't you going to say anything?

Karen: *quietly* I'll see you soon, Legacy. I'm proud of you.

Legacy: *quiet little squeak*

Rachel: I got her the shoes and the sushi. Does a living jewel count as the pet you ordered?

Legacy: //...If it doesn't, then it should.//

Rachel: It's why she just got to watch some of your training video.

Legacy: *surprised squeak*

Rachel: Be there soon. Try the chocolate mint tea.

Legacy: //A-Alright. See you soon.//

Rachel: *as she always does* Love you, Leggy.

Legacy: *soft sound, followed by the sounds of a falcon gleefully keeking nearby, then the call's ended*

Rachel: *shuts off the phone and puts it away as she looks toward Karen*

Karen: *about to comment, looks toward Felicity as the girl makes a worried sound*

Felicity: *just realized her dragon isn't sleeping in her pocket*

Rachel: *lifts up handful of wiggle and gently taps the blonde's shoulder with it*

dragon: *peeps and wiggles cutely*

Felicity: *clickstorm as she reaches for the dragon once she turns and sees where it got to this time*

Rachel: She asked to come visit. *comforting squeeze for Felicity's shoulder*

Felicity: *small nod* As long as she didn't get stuck in the seat again...

Rachel: ...Wow. Even Bubba's never thought of that one.

Felicity: *small shrug. She's got nothing*

dragon: *happy peeping is a go as little feets flail gleefully*


five minutes later


Ruth: *pulls up to the little house with the high loft where it nestles on the back of the tiny house lot*

Rachel: *bops herself lightly on her forehead as they park* I forgot to ask if you were okay living next to roosters.

Karen: *still a bit wide-eyed from all she's seen so far on the base. Just going from the front gate, she's seen soldiers who she's been told aren't actually human, a group of rowdies who got scattered by a white bot with swords jumping off a shed roof while a red bot had his six, and a pair of bots who looked nearly identical but for their coloration sparring in a field. Now, her attention is going to the houses* Bhuh?

Rachel: *points to the chooks bopping around happily in pens beside the smallest of the tiny houses that sit there by a teardrop trailer* Yeah. Jake has three. And Heatwave sounds like a firetruck.

Karen: Oh, goodness...

Rachel: *as Felicity and Ruth turn to look at Karen* Is it okay?

Karen: I... I've never lived next to roosters before.

Rachel: *gentle poke for Felicity* Let us out, Ferdy.

Ruth: *snorts and bails herself, then jogs toward the ranch style house next to that lovely... yup. Space ship*

Felicity: *squeaks and fumbles with her seatbelt before getting out of the car*

Rachel: *scoops up tiny dragon once she's out and hands her to Felicity* You dropped something, Sweetheart. //Warren remembers you can't move in yet, right?//

Felicity: *squeaks and apologizes to the dragon once she's got it in hand again* //I think so? I'll go remind him.//

Rachel: *offers hug* I'll see you at supper.

Felicity: *hugs* Okay! ^_^

Rachel: *lets her go and grins as she watches her*

Felicity: *scoots off to find Warren*
