Who: Nyah and Fiona
Where: Garrett Homestead
When: After a long day
What: Nyah comes to see how everyone is.
A long day at work and the labor wasn't done. Heavy snowfall meant that Fiona was going to have to shovel out. She'd arrived home with wet feet and a dismal attitude. It only got worse when she saw her mother out there, trying to take shovel fulls of snow out of the way. "Ma!" she was instantly irritated. Not because of her mother. She expected to see her out here, but because she couldn't come sooner.
The shovel was stolen from Moira and Fiona gave her a big kiss on the cheek and sent her inside. No use going in and warming up. It wasn't as if she had much to do. Just the path up to the house and digging out a way up to the dinged up shed.
Despite being cold, she would rather be outside than sitting around, worrying about what was happening at the hospital, worrying if there would be another explosion. This was simpler. Digging out from a snow storm made sense. Blowing up people didn't.
Of course no one would blow up the slums. That would make the least sense. So, in that way she knew her mother and her were safe from bombs and corrupted officials.
The one street light on their block flickered. Old wires, faulty connections...Not they would complain. Some streets didn't even have a light to flicker off and on. At least they changed the bulb from time to time. Luckily they had about a week ago or she wouldn't have seen the figure approach. She wiped the few snowflakes that had caught in her lashes and said, "Nyah?"
