{A Slice of Life} [Kaplan]

Another day, another moment to coax a few voters to the polls. They said the election was too close to call, though Willow Ann thought this had more to do with the fact that so many hadn’t voted yet rather than who they wanted to vote for. Joshua had done some polling around the town center, and it placed Mace pretty far ahead, though Willow Ann did manage to get a few votes—enough that gave her hope that she could keep trying. At the least she could point to her run as a reason to take part in the goings-on around town.

She set up again in the town center, another little table along the stalls of food and wares. She didn’t have too many pies left, or sweet treats, but she felt as though she could still get a few folks to come over. At the least, she’d have them talk to her about their votes and what they wanted before they could take anything. Although, as the day seemed to drag on, more people were happy to take a slice and listen to her, roll their eyes, and move along.

Willow Ann drummed her fingers on the table, and watched folks amble. She blinked a few times, noticing that there wasn’t sun across her face as before. She managed to find a smile again. “Can I help y’all out?”
