“... ah.. I thought I might find you here..” Angela murmured, stepping from the relative shade of an elaborate gazebo, one of many that connected the lush gardens within the city of Oasis. The doctor kept her voice low, sensitive to the possibility that Genji was occupied with his meditation. “...this place is... remarkable, don’t you think?”
There was something about Oasis that reminded Ziegler of her former patient. Perhaps it was the city’s unlikelihood, how it thrived in the harshest of conditions despite all odds suggesting it should not. Or perhaps the correlation was not so uplifting, considering how Oasis had only come to be through the sheer will of scientists who -- Mercy knew -- would like let nature take its course.
Drawing a calming breath, the doctor tipped her head back and surveyed the gardens, their vibrant colors and untroubled existence. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, reminded herself that not everything good in the world must come at a price, and reached into her pocket to withdraw a familiar creation.
“-- even the stationary here is unnaturally beautiful... “ Angela smiled, opening her palm to reveal yet another sparrow, its folded feathers trimmed with Arabic embellishment. “Thank you, for the letter.”
