Small Moments
"Malachi says that you did very well. About time you are useful." Natasha said sitting down at the desk and looking at the papers that Ariel had for her to sign. This was the first time that Natasha had really spoken to Ariel since they had come back. Natasha came and went as she pleased. As of late she had been trying to get Malachi to go with her more often. Ariel had started to think Natasha was forgetting about Ariel even being here. Which was okay, several days without Natasha's degrading words was nice.
"It went well." Ariel said as her sister just signed on all the lines that had a red x for her to sign.
"Good, stocks are up?"
"Yes, and we have a few more that wish to purchase crops from us. I've already been out to see the area that we should develop to use for it. The purchase of the land is slow going though. Alectro is fighting for it hard." Natasha wasn't really listening.
