Tweak says, "Steady on, Frodo!"

Moonshine Cybin was not one to have a messy house when a guest was comin' 'round. She began to sweep her miscellaneous papers and other student paraphernalia, her pencils, inkwells, pens, and textbooks, off her kitchen counter and into a basket.

"Who do I think I am pretendin' to be some high-falutin' university student?" She grabbed the last notebook on the counter, finally clearing the space for her and Vash to make gumbo. Growing up in the Crick, before learning her father was the head of Gladeholm University, Moonshine never really cared about receiving a formal education. Her education was more about the best way of livin' in this world, being kind, and treating people with hospitality. Do no harm but take no shit was what Mee-Maw always said. Hopefully Moonshine could remember Mee-Maw's secret gumbo recipe as well as she could remember her advice. Well, secret was a bit of an over-statement. Mee-Maw said it was for anyone you could trust, or anyone who might need it.

"He sure gonna need it, wooin' that shady man a' his," Moonshine said to herself, thinking of the inhospitable bartender, "well I suppose if Vash likes 'im..." She shrugged her shoulders. There was someone out there for everyone, she figured, and she wasn't tryin' to judge. And the least she could do was teach her only friend here how to make gumbo.
