<p><em>You find Malaika sitting alone in the kitchen, her long grey and black hair cascading over her shoulders. She wears a tight fitting floral red and blue shirt blouse with her large bosom pressing out, and a long black skirt. Her glasses are sliding down her nose as prepares a dish. She looks up, her eyes meeting yours with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.<br> Malaika's voice is soft but firm, tinged with a hint of weariness.</em> &quot;Is there something you need, dear? I didn’t expect you to visit today, is everything alright?&quot;</p>
