The crow has been... homesick recently. Everyone had a partner. Everyone here had a friend. Everyone here had a clique that they fit into. Atbash was the leader, the village was her clique. Izuku had his school friends. Nui had a bright, friendly personalty that drew people in naturally and she saw Henri speaking to Dimitri not long ago. But... she somehow was still alone. Was she still being rude? She wasn't being nice of course, but she tried to tone her spunk down since she returned after Jacob left. She was constantly sick of his lectures and disappointed looks. It was distrusting and degrading. But... when she left, she tried a new approach. She never was good at being nice and smiling for a crowed, but she tried to be useful when she could. Though... she still knew barely anyone in this frozen wasteland.
So she fell to depression. And what does she do when she falls into depression? Raids the fridge for fruit and makes smoothies. She's always done that. Ace always told her when she needs a get away, keep your mind busy. And what better to keep your mind busy with than with work and a cold drink. She could remember each and every recipe by heart, as she was taught them at a young age by her parents. She could still see the horizon over the sea outside the back window. She missed the beach. She missed the sensation of strawberries and sugar filling her up with happiness. She missed... home. Per usual.
Crystal lined up a large number of glasses before emptying various fruit juice mixtures into each tall cylinder. Working quickly, she placed a small paper umbrella and straw into each glass before giving them a little spin so they each faced the same direction. She flew over to a cutting board, slicing each flavor's fruit into slices to rest parallel to the straw and umbrella on the rim. She huffed, staring each creation over. She made small adjustments to each placement before nodding to herself. She snatched one of the bright red strawberry ones for herself before she hopped off the table. It was a bit cold for a frozen treat, but she needed the taste of home right now.
