Mari walked out while drying her hands on a kitchen towel. She was wearing a flowery apron over her clothes and just smiled widely when she caught sight of Mal. Mari knew very well who Mal was, but she was still family, and Mari couldn't help but feel happy to see her again. Especially when Mikey was happy to see her too, God only knows why.
"How are you, Mal?" Mari asked and went over to give her a hug. Maybe Mal didn't like people invading her personal space, but Mari's greetings were universal. Besides, hadn't Mal said she was having some sort of medical issue? "Please come in. Make yourself at home. Can I get you something to drink?"
