Re: Dinner Invitation [Gen] [X6/Sturges] 5/?

During his travels amongst the Commonwealth, X6 liked to collect various trinkets. This wasn't limited to blankets, candles and various dinner plates that the courser felt were in good condition. He'd been keeping his nice crockery under the sink for such an occasion like this. He wasn't sure when he would ever use them.

Today seemed to be that day.

X6-88 lay out the old tattered sheet. It was white at some point of it’s life, but now it was a faded jaundice yellow and heavily stained with questionable substances. He had tried keeping the blanket in a safe place until a time he knew he could retrieve it safely, it appeared some animal had rolled itself all over it at some point, leaving various muddy tracks and stains upon it.

Not to be deterred, X6 got to scrubbing the stains out with some hot water and abraxo cleaner. It did the trick, the stains quickly lifted and it seemed to regain some of it’s old colour. Once all the stains were out and he had given it a thorough wash, X6 hung the sheet out to dry. That would be his table cloth for the evening.

Next thing on the agenda was to have a good tidy up. His home was always tidy. He kept it as pristine as he could manage, given the living conditions of the Commonwealth. The institute was such a sterile environment, while the wasteland was... what was it was.

Armed with a scrubbing brush and a pan of relativity clean water, X6 attacked the shelves that stored his various hoarded items. Each one was handled with care as he gently removed each one from the shelf. The self was doused in water, then vigorously scrubbed, removing the dust and grime from the wood it had set upon. Halfway through scrubbing, there was a knock at the door.

X6 looked up. He wasn't expecting any guests before Sturges, who was only due to arrive in another two hours. Quickly rushing to the stove and turning down the oven which the meat was in, then he went to his door and pulled it open.

To his surprise, it was Sturges who stood there.
