[As the video starts, Lark is clearly seated by a warm fire, the communicator pointed toward her, and her hands are busy with what is clearly a pair of knitting needles. She looks insanely comfortable doing this, even with the head of her dog in her lap, just barely on screen.]

Good afternoon all. I was hoping to request some assistance in assisting you. I'm trying to make mittens to help keep us warm when outside this winter. But I need hand sizes. Anyone who would like a pair is welcome to come visit me in the hotel so I can take measurements.

[Then she smiles, shaking her head. Chances were people might find that weird, but she moves on.]

Where I'm from, it's very common to work on projects like this in the winter, and it makes me feel at home to do such things. So I would like to do this, not only to pass the time, but to help you all keep your fingers warm and comfortable this winter.

I hope it isn't passing there. I wouldn't want to be missed that badly.

[crystalmaster]

I talked to a couple of people who've gone and come back, and they've said it's not passing, so hopefully that's true for everyone.

[stitch_witch]

Well then that will be a comfort I shall keep dear to me.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah.

[He wouldn't put it past the Agrii to screw it up sometime when sending some people back, but he will just hope and pray that won't happen.]

Well, I'd better get going. This is when I need to be at the diner. Good luck with your project!

[stitch_witch]

[She nods and offers a brief wave.]

Have fun. Perhaps we shall cook together sometime.

[crystalmaster]

You cook too? That'd be great! Come by any time!

[stitch_witch]

Yes. I help out every third day.

[crystalmaster]

I guess that's why I haven't seen you. I'm there on days when you're not.

What kinds of recipes do you specially like?

[stitch_witch]

Specially like? Well, things that involve vegetables and dairy if I'm honest. I find myself missing stuffed squash flowers at the moment.

[crystalmaster]

Those make for delicious recipes. I love squash, but what's a squash flower?

[stitch_witch]

The flowers from which squashes grow. Squash bears quite a bit of fruit, so to the end of the season to keep them from over extending themselves, it is wise to harvest the late blossoms, and then eat them. Stuffed squash flowers is one of my favorite ways.

[crystalmaster]

Fascinating. I never thought of eating those. What do you stuff in them?

[stitch_witch]

Usually softer cheeses. Ricotta is rather common.

[crystalmaster]

That sounds amazing! I've gotta try that.

[Radley loved cheese.]

[stitch_witch]

Alas, we have no squash blossoms.

[crystalmaster]

That is a shame. Well, as soon as there are some somewhere.

[stitch_witch]

I don't think we have squash here.

[crystalmaster]

Back home then.

I wonder if the Agrii would grant a request for squash or if they wouldn't understand and just send something squashed instead.

[stitch_witch]

We could attempt to ask them. Perhaps squash seeds may be the better way to phrase it.

[crystalmaster]

That might work. We'd have to wait a while for results, but it'd be worth it.

[stitch_witch]

Then we shall have to try. I'm not sure if the replicator would know what they are, but we can try that too.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, it's worth giving it a go.

[stitch_witch]

I shall set this as something to do in the spring. I need to get more fiber for now.

[crystalmaster]

There's a lot to do before spring comes. I wonder if it'll snow a lot more.

[stitch_witch]

I would hope so. Snow is good for plants in this sort of climate. They rest and await the spring.
