[ Wordlessly, Nebula takes the bundle with a nod. She's quick to turn away from Yuri and get right to work because... for Nebula, perhaps, all things are work. Chores that need during, one to the other, without pause to fully see the beauty in it. ]

[ Because the beauty can always wait. ]

[ Tasked with the current mission, she stiffens some as some of the children nearest leave their spots of play as the adults finish speaking. Seeming to understand that what Yuri brought was for them and she was helping, some of them approach rapidly. Pulling at her hand or looking at her with wide eyes. Her mouth twitches into something that's almost a smile - unpracticed and rare. ]

[ ... And yet she passes over each package as no-nonsense like as she does everything else. "Here," and she places it into kid after kid's hands, notably a little less roughly than she had taken it from Yuri in the first place. Eventually, the little girl she's originally helped returns to her side and tries to take her hand - for a second Nebula flinches and moves to take it away before relaxing. ]

[ She makes no comment about it even as she returns to Yuri, some time later, after all of their charges have been given away. ]

That is all.
