The Grandfather of the Reunion

Act 2-13

Give to the needy

Starting first memory playback with: Memory of certain day

After the storm passed, and Hosea and Talulah passionately shared the night in each other's arms for comfort, there had been urgent news of the Academy that rendered Eno and Sasha to...not go there for a while. Essentially, they got a few weeks vacation.

They were pretty bummed out about that news, but at least they get to spend time with their group now. When Gordon and Eno serenade the Union, their relationship got tighter to the point it felt like they're family to each other. None denied it, nor spoke up about it.

This morning, Hosea shares a cup of coffee with Fred, who was also given a two week vacation from the Academy. He wears a yellow zip-up sweater, and without wearing that bag full of tools, he looks lean and soft. It's a miracle he's able to lift that amount of weight.

Fred: "What a life, eh Hosea?"

Hosea: "Would you say...this way of nomadic life is better than in New Seattle?"

Fred: "Heh, I can't just say that. Remember, we're traveling with a group of cutthroats... Resistance members who did horrible things... Horrible things with either good or bad reasons. I'm just glad the rest are enjoying their stay down south, considering the turmoil they went through up north."

Hosea: "Good to know that at least some people still kept their wits and humanity to themselves."

Fred: "When people say the world is bad, that's not true, in my personal opinion. I think that people make it bad... Saying everyone is bad is also not true. There is something called 'The yin and yang', the bad and the good mixed together into a happy medium. We are the yang, and the Union are the yin

Yelena: "Hey Hosea? Can I ask you something?"

*They turn around to see Yelena, with a curious expression, standing behind them. One of her tall ears are bent, expression curiosity.*

Hosea: "Sure, go ahead."

Yelena: "Yesterday... Just...what did you and Talulah do?"

Hosea: "That's a personal question."

Yelena: "I promise, I won't tell anyone. Satisfy my curiosity, Hosea."

Fred: "I'll just...go away for now."

*Yelena takes Fred's place as he gives his mug to Daniel, who thanks him, and walks off to find new conversation topics.*

Hosea: "Okay, so...we might've... We didn't 'Do the deed' mind you; Talulah simply just needed someone to hold her."

Yelena: "She does? Nothing serious was going on?"

Hosea: "Nope. She just needed someone to hold her, and I can't blame her."

*Yelena nods and purses her lips. While her expression boasts that of pensiveness, she's actually nodding in approval.*

Yelena: "Good initiative, Hosea... Indeed, she does need someone to hold her. I remember back then of a certain friend of hers, that unfortunately got killed not too long ago. She's still suffering and mourning the loss of her friend, considering it is recent and all. On behalf of the Union, thanks..."

Hosea: "On behalf of the good left in this world, you're welcome."

*Yelena giggles, looks down, and sighs after her laughter trails and fades.*
