Siv comes in that morning singing "I can see it in your eyes
You need a friend tonight
'Cause someone broke your heart in two

You need a volunteer
To wipe away your tears
Someone who will rescue you"

"
Your whole world is tumbling down
Can't get your feet on solid ground
You're looking for someone
Someone you know, you can count on

I'll rise to the occasion
Help me through the situation
I'll be your inspiration
Yeah, I'll rise to the occasion, ohoho"

She gets some food, nodding to Sally Mae, and goes out to the porch

"No memories to shake
No promises to break
Just tender love and honesty

I can offer you so much
And I feel it when we touch
Maybe this was meant to be"

I'm gonna share a secret with you
My heart's been broken too
I'm looking for someone
Someone I know I can count on

So won't you rise to the occasion?
Help me through the situation
You can be my inspiration
Take to heart this invitation, oho

Ooohooohooohooohooo

Your whole world is changing down
Need to be strong, I'll show you how
You're looking for someone
Someone you know, you can count on

So, come on, rise to the occasion
We'll get through the situation
We'll be each other's inspiration
In a perfect combination

I'll rise to the occasion
Give you real appreciation
I'll be your inspiration
Take to heart this invitation

I'll rise to the occasion
Give you real appreciation
I'll be your inspiration
Take to heart this invitation

Come on, baby, rise"

Yup... breakfast bites between song

And she leans back. The one thing she definitely misses about the Kestrel, not that it's gone, was that she could stay on its deck.

The ship in the bottle? Not much.

Siv smiles, chuckles, and sings a song Vali taught her.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh"

"Ya Ya Yaaah"

"Ya Ya Yaaah"

"Yaaah Ya Yah"

"Ohohohohooo!"

"Oh ya yaaah"

"Ya Ya Yaaah"
"Yaaah Ya Yah"

"Ye Ye Ye Ye Yeah"

"Ye ye yeah"

"Ye ye yeah"

"Ohohohohooo!"

"Aaahooooh aaooo!"

"Hoooo Hahaha"

She does stop as she thinks she hears a groan of someone not quite awake. "oops"

Another chuclke. It is early. And she does look most at ease

Gerd eyes the food in front of her and chews it slowly. Eat it slow, then by the time you're done with it, the digestion process will feel too far along to want to purge.. she hopes. Besides, it's just a salad.

"First the salad" She says "Then the bread, just a little. Just one meal at a time" Doing this alone is the challenge. Thanks to the Hearth and Uncle Vali, she's eating full meals under supervision, but sometimes when she's alone? munch

The food begins to dwindle.. and she's soon had the whole salald, and now a bread with butter

Footsteps coming down the stairs. "Hey, Gerd!" Sylvi smiles and waves.

"Hey, Sylvi" A pause "want some bread? "

"Sure. Eden, you want some?" she asks the girl following her down.

"I could swallow one wwhole like an egg" Eden chimes. Her make up and do touched up in a mild classy way rather than a full glam

Gerd looks up, "Hey... Eden... nice. Very.. hollywood business"

"See? I told you it looks classy."

Eden shrugs and points towards Sylvi "I was ambushed."

"So the video thing is taking off huh?" Gerd says to Sylvi

Sylvi rolls her eyes and smiles. Then she notes the limited quantity of bread on the table. "Oh, let me get some more from the kitchen, be right back."

Through the kitchen door.

Eden says "Is there a famine?"

"No no I.. ah.." Gerd smiles "I didn't expect company. it's ..part of mhy ah.. .well..."

Her smile falters.

"The thing, yeah" The pooka nods, "Gotta suck."

"yeah.." Gerd sighs "Everytime I feel like iv'e finally kicked it? iget these urges?"

"Thank goodness I never almost give into a self destructive impulse" Eden says

Sylvi returns with a basket of bread rolls. "Anyway, yeah, the channel is getting likes and lots of followers."

"Excellent" Gerd smiles "When you're rich, you can buy me a new wardrobe"

Eden enjoys some bread, Aned looks nervous

Then she gets serious as she hears the topic of discussion.

"Well, we'll go shopping, anyway. Don't know about a whole new wardrobe." A grin.

"Um..." she looks between the two of them. "Things okay?"

Eden laughs actually, "gee..last night or now, which is better for me? I wonder." A look of gratitude
