Party preparations

Mira and Tara just made themselves comfortable in the livingroom while Elena is already preparing some food.

Kaya disappears. She must be in her room, maybe hiding from Tara.

Mira and Tara just sit there comfortably, smiling at each other from time to time.

Looks like you two have really found each other.

Mira and Tara start to grin.

But you're pretty dirty, Tara.
You better get clean before dinner is ready.
You're welcome to help her, Mira.

Good idea. Are you coming, Tara?

Alright.

The two go to the washroom.

Do you need help or can you handle it yourself?

I'll be fine.
But I wouldn't mind if you just stayed.

Tara starts washing herself.

You know you have to take off your clothes while washing yourself? I'm sure you're also dirty under your clothes.

You might be right. But for now, I thought I could just get my clothes clean as well. I'm not wearing a lot anyway.

I guess it's best if I bring you some proper clothes instead.
We are about the same height, but my clothes are probably a bit wide for you.
I'll go and ask Kaya.

Thanks.

Mira leaves and wants to go to Kaya, but when she tries to enter her room, it's locked.

Can you please open the door?

Are you alone?

Yeah...

I'm coming!

Kaya opens the door and Mira comes in.

Since when do you lock your door?
Are you getting paranoid already?

Mira seems to wait for an answer, but nothing comes back from Kaya.

I need some of your clothes.
Can I have them?

Probably for your new friend.
Just pick something yourself, I got enough from my journeys.
Try to pick something from the black one. I basically don't wear them anymore.

Mira starts to look for clothes, while Kaya just stands in her room and watches Mira rummaging through her clothes.

You seem a little annoyed. I don't know you like this.
But I think that's your own fault for being so cautious when it comes to new people.

Kaya just keeps standing there impatiently.

It takes a while until Mira finds something she likes.

That one is really pretty.
I'm sure Tara will look good in it.
Thank you!

Mira leaves Kaya, who immediately locks her room again afterwards.

Mira goes back to the washroom where Tara is already naked and pretty clean.

Her skin has a certain tint even without dirt.
But what would one expect from someone living in the wasteland?

Tara notices Mira.

Ok, I'm sorry, but you said I wouldn't bother you.

It's all right. What's the problem?

Yeah right, we're both girls.

Of course we are. What else would we be?

Tara laughs seeming confused.

You are really sexy by the way.

You think so?

Anyway, brought you some clothes.
I hope they fit.

It looks like it will fit, thanks a lot.

Well, I'm going back to Elena.
Maybe I can cook a little with her.
Today might be the last time I have the chance to cook with Elena after all.

Mira goes to Elena, but she is already almost finished.

You're just in time. Taste it!

Mira tries it.

It's good, but a little more spice would be nice.

Feel free to season it yourself.

I'm allowed to spice things up, too?
Even on your special day?
I'm so glad about that.
You really trust me a lot, don't you?

If I'm not there anymore, someone else has to do the seasoning anyway. And you're an expert on that, aren't you?

Mira seasons the food and when it's right, Elena and Mira distribute the food.

Then Mira goes back to the washroom, where Tara is already standing in her new clothes.

The two give each other a quick smile, but Mira goes straight to Kaya, while Tara already sits down at the table.

Mira knocks at her door.

Dinner is ready, are you coming?

It takes a while for Kaya to open the door, but then she and Mira immediately go to the dining table, where Elena and Tara are already waiting impatiently.

You're finally here!

It hasn't been that long.

Anyway, everyone is sitting at the table now.
So the party can finally start.
Are you ready?

Elena just starts eating, and so does everyone else.
