“I’m sorry for not sending news I was coming, but I just had to come here. She’s a girl going through a lot so I just wanted to check up on her. I’m sure Hana wouldn’t mind, we do know each other after all” I noticed Mima glaring this way. I turned towards Mamizou, flicking my head Mima’s way and hoped she’d get the message. She glanced over at me.

“Of course, nobody told me. But did you think a shindig this important would slip my notice? I’m just here for the party, whatever else you do is of no interest to me” She clarifies. I swear this women somehow knew about everything going on. Did she do nothing but lounge around all day, listening to gossip while smoking and drinking?

Feeling at ease that she wouldn’t move against us for now, everyone started to mill around to bring some life to the place. Alice and Marisa talked about potential clothing for the baby. They were deep in discussion on how many frills were too many frills. Mima and Mamizou had seemingly started to warm up to each other as they were also chattering along. My eyes glazed over as I tried to listen in, so it was either about high-level magic or some obscure topic, or they were just swapping rumors like elderly women usually do, which was worse in my mind. While everyone was distracted, I swiped a few cookies off the table to have. When a doll nearby gave me a disapproving look, I split one in half and gave it to her to buy her silence.

So things continued on, and I started to feel to ease. Like a tightly wound toy, I felt the twists and pits in my body slowly dissipate as the stress seemed to fade away. Who cared about the future? Well, I would but this was the now. I could have this day for myself, the future was always a day away.

I overhear Mamizou continuing her chat with Mima, and my ears perk up when I hear what she’s saying . I think I hear this story before. Pouring myself a cup of tea, I move over to them and wait for a chance to butt in, a smile on my face.
