Having been invited to a small housewarming, Jane brings her promised gifts: a good bottle of wine and one of her favorite novels, John Cater of Mars. She is excited to see Harry and Wanda again, to get out of the house, especially after some recent events. Holding her gifts in a little bag, she rings the doorbell. She's been promised a tour of a garden and lab, and she can't wait.

When Jane arrives, Wanda greets her with a bright, friendly smile first. "Hey! I'm glad you're here. How are you?"

Harry looms behind Wanda and to one side, waving a hand and smiling. At 6'9", he often looms without meaning to. But he is almost bouncy with eagerness and warmth.

"Yes, welcome to the house!"

"Doing well! Thanks for inviting me!" she replied, not minding how Harry loomed. Even Wanda was taller than her, so it was something she didn't even register anymore. "I had no idea what kind of wine you liked, so I got something the store clerk said was okay?"

[divaricate]

"All wine is good wine — which is definitely, one hundred percent a fact and not just opinion, yes." Maybe a bit of light sarcasm there, but look, sometimes you gotta. "I am going to get us some glasses for it." Which, she's off to get from the kitchen.

"We're not picky on wines, so thank you. Come in, make yourself at home."

Harry smiles. It's genuinely nice to see two sides of his life colliding in a pleasant fashion for once.

"I hope your day has been going well."

Jane grinned. She really didn't know much about wine, but at least it wouldn't taste like water? She knew that the price really didn't determine anything, but the bottle did say Sonoma. That meant something decent, right?

"Thanks," she said, following them further inside. Instantly, she felt a quirky and warm environment.

"It has! I get to spend some time with good friends!"

Wanda returns with the glasses, still listening to the conversation. "It is pretty hard to top that, yeah. No complaints from me about today."

"Finding time and days to be with friends is one of the best parts in this world. Fewer crises, more downtime." Even with both he and Wanda working, and Jane having her own commitments, maybe they could do this now and then.

It would be nice.

"We laid on a little food so that when we are done sharing wine and showing you around, you can eat something with us." He nodded.

Maybe they could, even when this world had a crisis or another. There were bound to be more in the future; that was the deal they all had made (or most of them).

"That sounds good. From what I've seen of your house already, it's lovely!"
