"See ya, Tracy - and remember to practice that 2nd chord!" Then, alone, she sniffs the air. A new perfume someone is using? Or maybe scented candles? Curious, she traces the scent.

There isn't much of a 'kitchen' here... but at the place near the microwave, there's a smell that is DEFINITELY not microwaved... it smells like.. strawberries but not.. not Jersey strawberies, who are angry in your face strawberries and thus perhaps a bit too tart for some.

She enters the room, and sees... Siv, and a plate full of California strawberries!

"No way." She bounces over and leans in to get a whiff of the fresh fruit. "Where did you get these?!"

"Well, I think it was Santa Maria area?" she smiles "Hard to tell, you know all your california looks alike to me"

"I have a ship that can transport anywhere there's water" Siv smiles "Figured I could use that for my best gal"

"All California- ALL CALIFORNIA?!" She start to sputter, then snickers up at Siv. "You're TEASING me." Taking a strawberry, she holds it up for Siv to bite.

Siv says with faux innocence "Just teasing.. a bit" And she bites the strawberry in half, and and makes an mmm sound

A laugh, and she tugs Siv down until she can share a kiss that tastes of fresh berries. "What are you up to today, other than gallivanting around Cali?"

"Well, funny you should mention, today is my day off from the Marina. I am actually somewhat at a loss of what to do with meself. I'm not even scheduled for a patrol"

"Oh dear. A troll without work or duty? You're adrift with no purpose!"

"I know, all forlorn" She feeds Piper another strawberry "Forlorn and in a haze.. who can save me?"

"Well, what's our Jonas up to?"

"Well, we could text him and find out? I know he was doing something for Anne Marie, but that was earlier this morning"

A bird trills a happy note from the glass

"What would you like to do? Piper leans against her while nibbling a berry in pleasure. "I'm plum out of ideas, was just planning on a lazy afternoon."

"Lazy afternoon doesn't sound bad" She admits "I..."

Jonas enters in, clearly taht's who the bird announced

"Salutations, Ladies of my life" He smiles

"You're just in time for a sweet treat." She smiles up at him in return.

"You are my sweet treats" he says matter of factly

"Oooo he's getting better" Siv coos at that, then looks to Piper "Isn't he getting better?"

"He's always been good, but he's refining his style." A grin!

"Lover with a Penis" Siv declares....

Jonas groans "I've asked you not to call me that"

Siv goes on ".. Piper and I are trying to decide how to spend a lazy day together.. now wwith you. Take charge, and advise us."

Jonas looks at her like she's nuts, then says "If I maybe direct? Sometimes you ladies want me to suggest a restaurant. You say anything I decide is 'fine by you' then I pick a place, and you go 'not that'... and maybe TEN suggestions later we narrow it down with you fussing at what took ME so long to decide. This feels like that"

She pouts a little. "How about this. You give us two options, and we promise to pick one?"

Siv joins in the pout

Piper pouts harder, bottom lip stuck out. It's a pout-off!

Jonas looks at them both "Guilt inducing... but all right. Six Flags Great Adventure Amusement park, or we go to the movies and watch the Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent"

Siv blinks , clearly she wasn't expecting either, thoughh she doesn't nix either

"Oooh! Both sound good... but it's so nice out, let's go to the park!"

"I'm in!" Siv says "Buuut you guys can't leave me to do the scary rides alone"

(And off they go to a day of fun and frolic) (End scene unless revived)
