Adia beams at Willie's adorable little antics. Perhaps they will need a fashion battle to decide who can carry the title of princess, and then everyone will benefit. Caspar's always looking for an excuse to go shopping, anyway.
Any illusions that Adia had about the Nexus being a safe space have long since faded away, but the friends she has made will keep her coming back, and she'll support Cricket in whatever way she can in his plans to continue living there. "The ones we've cut down have been made into furniture, and we've used the resin for various things. We're trying very hard not to waste resources." She sighs a little and adds, "Although I know I'm not the only one tempted to take a shuttle to the Americas and harvest some cocoa and coffee beans. It'll be another two years at least until ours are ready."
He hugs a happy, startled laugh out of her, enough that one of the librarians at the front desk gives her a Look. She simmers down, returning the hug quickly but keeping that glowing smile on her face. "Thanks. I had a feeling he would, but he surprised me, anyway. Especially with the ring. Hunter made it for him back before the Winter Solstice."
