She disappeared around a corner into the kitchen to put her market haul away, raising her voice to be heard. "Just make yourself at home!"

Like all Water Sector suites, Nita's would blend in perfectly if plunked on a Fiji beach, with warm woods and bright, patterned fabrics. A neater housekeeper than her attitude would suggest, she kept the place uncluttered, with decorative touches from the other sectors, the only incongruous thing a bolt of cloth that appeared to have been tossed onto a couch and forgotten.
