Sonia is resting sulkily on the ground, breathing heavily. (This is pretty much what happens when you have giant second trimester belly. It is still v. annoying.)

"I'd take 'em, if it meant somethin' for me t'DO."

She thinks that statement over, then amends, "I mean, I guess not, but..."

"Well, it would definitely be more difficult with this belly of yours."

She grins a little. "Maybe you should find a hobby that isn't fighting."

...

...

...

"...like what?"

She shrugs. "Anything you can do while sitting down and not moving? Like knitting?"

...

...

Angela gets a, "you've got to be kidding me" look.

She laughs a little. "Hey, I'm just putting it out there. You're obviously bored, but you can't exactly train like this."

"Yeah, but... I mean... knitting?! How'm I even gonna figure that out?"

"What? You're not stupid. It's not that hard. I'm the clumsiest person on the surface of the planet and I can do it."

Sonia is not sure she agrees with the "not stupid" part, but she'll take Angela's word for it.

"It's all twisty, though..."

"It's harder if you try to learn by diagrams...it's easier if someone shows you. You only need to learn two stitches to make a simple blanket, though. It's not so bad."

And hey! babies don't mind if the stitches are wonky.

"...really?"

It'd be something to do, anyway.

"Yeah! And it'd give you something to do while you're waiting for the baby. Plus, make a blanket for him or her. I'll be happy to show you!"

"a- all right... I mean, I guess it won't hurt to try, will it?"

"Nope, can't hurt to try." She grins over. "And it's really simple once you've got the hang of it."

"Sure." She manages a smile.

"Cool. I'll find some yarn and stuff somewhere, I'm sure." She could always go into the city. She hasn't done that yet.
