Someone's In the Kitchen With Zoe
Who: Zoe, open
Where: Circean Delight's kitchen
When: Morning

Zoe was still a little rattled about waking up in her room without Nik. Once she'd confirmed he was okay and still there, she'd calmed down a lot. But still, there was that whole lingering 'what the hells?' feeling.

The notes had been creepy too. But then, if the ship thought it was their mother, maybe it was protecting them from the the weird bad stuff. It was always possible.

She'd headed down to help out with breakfast as usual. It gave her something to do, something familiar, and allowed her to be helpful. Which was always good. She liked being busy and helpful.

Zoe was chopping vegetables, humming an old Chinese song her mother taught her when she was cooking. The blade moved with sharp swift strokes, pausing as she used it to clear the cutting board and grab the next vegetable.
