A Celebration for Nell

[mylandmyrules]

Nell had tried something a little different for dinner tonight. She'd made a large, and hopefully tasty, vegetable stir fry and had stir-fried some beef in a different pan so those wanting meat could have some. She also had homemade sourdough bread, salad, and a vegetable broth based soup to start the meal.

The apartment was spic and span, the cats were happily curled up on their cat trees, for however long that would last, and she thought she was prepared as she could be for her first ever birthday celebration. Now to wait somewhat anxiously for her guests.

"I see," Steven said, as though he had any experience whatsoever with this sort of thing instead of none at all. "So... bit awkward, I imagine?"

"Considering I'm now old enough to be her mother, just a bit," Lana agreed. "Although I did meet her a few months ago, and it was good despite that. It's good to know she's been doing well."

"Oh," Steven said. That made the awkward... much more awkward. "Yes, I imagine that is a bit difficult, isn't it? If you knew each other as students and there she is still a student."

"She is at least grown," Lana said. "But near as I can tell, it's been only a few years for her - or at least, it had been. And decades for me. Still, as I said, it was good to know she was doing well, and I hope she manages to make it back. Her version of the galaxy is also at war, so she may not be able to get away."

"That's horrible," Steven said. "I hope she's all right, and it's all sorted soon."

"So do we all," Lana said. "Thank you."
