A Mall on the Mainland - Sunday
It had been a very long and tiring week and Liz knew she still had a few more days to get through, when it eventually came to the anniversary of her family’s death. On Tuesday it was 14 years since her parents and brother had died in that first fire and she had been so tired and miserable, she knew she had to push herself, to keep going.
Liz had been so exhausted after Friday and the worry about the fires, even though they weren’t real, that she had finally fallen asleep Friday night and had slept for most of Saturday.
She was feeling a bit more alert but she was still rather tired.
Liz had been finding that her normal clothes were starting to get a little tight on her, she had definitely been noticing it in the last couple of weeks as her stomach had started to form a little bump. So arrangements had been made with Summer and Dr. Lecter to take her maternity clothes shopping on the mainland, especially to help keep her distracted while everything had been going on with the different anniversaries.
She really didn’t know a lot about shopping and fashion but she knew Summer and Dr. Lecter did, actually they were the only people she knew who knew anything about fashion.
“There’s, there’s a lot of people here,” she couldn’t help but remark as she looked around the mall, it had been a while since she had last gone shopping and had been around this many people.
She was still rather nervous about maternity clothes shopping but she knew it needed to be done, especially since her clothes weren’t going to fit her much longer.
{for the two who are with her on this trip! NFB due to distance!]

But plan in place, they could start making their way toward a goal, and Summer took the chance to throw out, "So how've you been, anyway? We haven't really had a chance to chat a whole lot, outside of my class anyway, but that doesn't really count."

"I've been well. Raven is staying with me now as well, so the house is quite full, and I have the opportunity to cook for several." Even if Raven was vegetarian. "I think my class will do well, too. What about you - you had a 'space emergency'?"

"Oh, yeah!" Summer said, like one recalled maybe some minor weekend event or a movie they'd just watched. "Rey needed some help in her galaxy, and we all finally took down the bogus resurgent empire that's been giving everyone shit for a while now. That makes three defeated galactic empires under my belt now. Not too shabby, huh?
"Oh," she continued, as if both these things were on the same level of consideration, "and Raven's my Teaching Buddy this semester! She seems really great, even if it's kind of superfluous for he to be helping her when she pretty much already knows the ropes as a fellow alumna."

"It's been a while since Raven lived here, so it can't hurt to have someone to help out," Hannibal said. "And I think you'll be good for her socially; she can be shy at times, but she does love people."
