[ She was getting pretty lucky the fire didn't do much damage or hurt anyone she knew - that she knew about, anyway. Still, she did spent the majority working on a few different outfits for Bill, as well as a certain doll for a certain Egyptian Pharoah. There's an image with a Marinette sitting on the bed, carefully jotting notes down on a pad before she turns to the feed. ]

Phew. I think I'm really going to have to find a place of my own at this point - I'm used to keeping my workspace to a small area, but... [ Meh. She shook her head a bit. Hopping up, she turned the feed around. ]

I got some outfits done though! And I didn't forget about you Bill- have a look. [ She points at a few different outfits. ]

I was outside the wall recently too, and came across a few snakes - I don't personally LIKE snakes, but they do have some really nice patterned hides. I sketched a few down - I think I'm going to dry making a pair of pants or maybe a dress in that style, if anyone's interested in having something like this.. [ She holds up her pad to show off the sketched design. ]

And I do take requests, naturally. [ She might be heading out there again to try to find new ideas, actually. ]

[ Action for Floormates/Visitors ]
[ After her network announcement, she made her way out to the shared living area to take a break from her sewing, making her way to the kitchen area, checking on the snacks she had been cooking. In fact, the smell of delicious, tasty yummies was filling up the area quite nicely, and Marinette was willing to share with anyone. Ah, well, except for the box she was going to sneak down to Keith as a thank you later. ]

That's a good incentive. [He smirked a little.] One of our teammates is the same way... always cooking and finding cool new things to make.

[He nodded.]

Yeah, I am. It's working out okay. It's something to do, at least.

[ She chuckled. ]

If he shows up here, you should introduce us. We could trade recipes. [ ...not the alien ones though. She can do without those ones. ]

That's good. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have something to keep me busy. [ She just doesn't 'relax' that often. ]

What about you? Is training your hobby to relax, or do you do other stuff?

[That got a small smile.] Oh, man. He gets pretty intense about that. I'd hope you could handle it.

[He considered the next question for a moment.]

Right now, yeah. Back home, I had some other things, too, but being on a ship in space makes it hard to do some of them. Like, I didn't bring my hoverspeeder with me when we took the Blue Lion off Earth, so I don't have that... and it wouldn't work in outerspace anyway. It's not designed for it.

[ She laughed. ]

Both of my parents are bakers. I know from intense, especially when a special event, promotional or holiday is coming up. I think I can handle it. [ Actually, some of that 'intensity' was kind of terrifying. ]

Yeah, I guess it would be difficult. [ She went silent for a moment, thinking. ]

Something like that I guess only works in lower atmosphere like around here?

Good. If he ends up here, then I'll make sure you guys meet. [He smiled a bit. Hunk was a good guy. He had a feeling they'd get along, and not just because of the food thing.]

Yeah. The turbines it uses to hover create air cushions for it to float on, so, without air, it doesn't move.

Cool, then we can both join culinary forces. [ Better watch that diet of yours, Keith! She grinned. ]

And it was about the size of a motorcycle right? Only it's not sentient like the Lions so it probably isn't going to come puttering through the portal. Do you think there's anyone here that could make one?

[ There were probably a whole bunch of eccentric folk who tinkered with gadgets and things like that. A hoverspeeder would probably be easy. ...if they had the parts. ]

There's a scary thought.

The speeder's a bit bigger because it's got the turbines that make it hover, and a tail fin for stability, but it's basically a lot like a motorcycle with some extra parts. But, yeah, it's not sentient. It's just a vehicle.

I'm not sure about making one, though. I mean, the turbines can be tricky to keep calibrated right.

[ Scary thought? Hmph! She chuckles at the response. ]

Maybe for your waistline. [ She shook her head with a grin. ] Seriously, Don't worry, I'd share the wealth with everyone and not just you. [ So he can stay fit and trim! If he can resist the deliciousness. Though she supposes he could help himself and then just do some major league exercise. ]

[ The point about the turbines.. right, right. ]

Oh - I guess that's true. And then things like that probably aren't even around anywhere. At least not for the size that you'd need. [ Too bad though! ]

[He chuckled as well.]

Alright. I won't worry, then. [And, really, he wouldn't. Between stupid crazy teenage boy metabolism and his overactive training regimen, Keith wasn't likely to be anything but wiry any time soon.]

Yeah... Though, I've heard people get stuff from home on occasion. Maybe that'll show up, too.

[ Yay for teenager metabolisms! ]

Well I can confirm that happening - when I first arrived during one of this place's festivals - the ones they seem to have every month - I got a picture of a friend from back home. [ She kind of would have rather had a photo of her parents, but the picture she got was good too. ]

That sounds like a nice thing to get.

[Keith wouldn't have minded pictures of certain people. Others he could probably do without... but a picture of the whole team would have been nice to get.]

[ She's silent a moment, thoughtful, and finally nods. ]

Yeah, it is. I mean.. it's weird that that's what shows up of all things, but... still. [ She pointed curiously. ]

What would you ask for, if something small came through the portal for you like that? I mean, if you had a choice. [ She didn't, but she wasn't complaining. ]

[Keith lowered his gaze for a bit, staring off into the distance for a moment as he considered it.]

I'm not sure. I never really had a lot of stuff back home.

[ HRMMM. ]

Can I take a guess?

[ Totally gonna guess what kind of stuff he had. Or would have. SHe may even make serious guesses! ]

[He shrugged.]

Okay.

[He was curious of what she thought.]

[ Having finished her treat, she sat back to study Keith at length, thoughtful. ]

Hrrm. I guess... books on astronomy, a piece of exercise equipment like weights or something? [ She kind of ponders if he's a tidy person or not. He doesn't -seem- like a slob, but you can't really judge that kind of thing. She'll take that risk though. ]

I'll bet you're not a slob though. And you have a secret lion plush in your closet.

[He chuckled a little.]

Sort of.

I had the books on astronomy from the classes I was taking at the Garrison. I don't really have any of my own exercise equipment, but I did make use of the base gym and the Castle's training deck. I don't really collect a lot of stuff, so you're right. I'm not a slob. But I don't have a lion plush. Honest.

[ She sat back, looking far too pleased at her successful partial guess. ]

Well, I can be satisfied with being partially right on that. [ Hrm. Maybe she'll have to be sneaky and make him a little Red Lion figurine. Sure, he doesn't collect a lot of stuff, but surely he wouldn't mind that, right? ]

But what about recreational reading?

[He probably wouldn't at all!]

Recreational... Hm. [He shrugged a little.] I wasn't much for it, honestly. I had trouble sitting still for long enough to really get into a story. I was more active as a kid.

[ She will totally make him one! She may get some help from someone else for what she has in mind. ]

Heehee, that actually doesn't surprise me too much. What kind of sports activities did you take part in? Track? Or, well was that more of a thing when you were enrolled at the Garrison?

I wasn't really in any organized sports, but Shiro started training me in martial arts not long after we met. It gave me something to focus all that energy on. [It tempered him a bit, too, giving him a routine and something he needed to concentrate on to get through. Keith had the natural ability and strength, but he'd been sorely lacking in the discipline area.] He got me hooked up with a few local competitions, too, to give me a goal.

[It also had gotten him out of some pretty bad trouble.]

Really? Awesome! Did you win any of them?

[ A whole wall full of shiny gold and silver medals right? ... also good on Shiro for keeping Keith out of trouble. We don't want to know what Keith would have ended up like if not for that. ]

[Keith shrugged.]

A few.

[Again, he wasn't big on bragging. Just like how he left out being the top pilot in a generation at the Garrison, he wasn't going to talk about the number of competitions he'd won. He almost looked embarrassed that it had even come up.

Trash talk between friends during friendly competition was one thing. Outright saying he was the best? Nah. Not his style.]

Neat~!

[ Oop, she treaded into embarrassing territory. .. She almost wants to tease him for that expression, but decides to steer it to a new topic instead. One that -probably- comes out of left field for him, but makes total sense to her. ]

Say um... do you think Red would let me sketch her? I mean. For that matter, would you?

[ Can't make a proper figurine without getting the details right, and she wouldn't want to insult the Red Lion by making a poorly designed figurine. ]

[Yeah. It could be kind of neat if he thought about it.

But, her question was kind of a surprise. He gave her a funny look, one his eyebrows arching upward.]

I don't see why not. I mean, I don't mind, and she seemed pretty okay with you. What did you have in mind?
