Q reached up to wave the hand off, but stopped. Her brow furrowed, then she lowered her hand. "It's all right," she said, but it seemed like she was talking to herself. Her shoulders tensing slightly. "I'm all right."

"Just something I saw when I was walking around with Melody," Ellis said. "I... thought you'd maybe like it." It's a silvery chain necklace with some little quartz bits at the front.

So, the Parvis Dolor ira Populo, or the 'Mafia' as most people call it, is very well structured as I might have said in the past. Just because we don't follow the law as laid out by the government, doesn't mean we're lawless."

As her eyes scanned over it, something happened that hadn't happened in a while: she smiled for real, in front of someone she hadn't known for a while. Running her fingers over the quartz, she continued to smile. "Thanks," she whispered. "I mean it."

That's because she's short. Q lifted her short hair, waiting for Ellis to complete. After he was finished, Q let go of her hair and nodded in appreciation. "Thanks again," she said.

"You'll find it over there, next to the bakery," the woman said, then started to pat herself down. She smiled at the two. "You two are a cute couple, by the way." Q blushed slightly, looking away.

"Mmhm!" the woman said with a smile, starting off in the opposite direction. One timeskip later cause I guess it's my turn, they arrived at the front of the bakery. Surprisedly, it was still open, though there were two customers in the bakery. To the left was the general store, which was––no surprise there––open. Q cocked her head. "Huh, the lady was right."

"I've honestly never had it, so you can do that."
