It had been a week since her people left. Seven solid days and nights, and since then she had not gone out. Not even to head to the market to buy food, which is something she had been allowed to do beforehand. Instead, her handmaiden had been doing all the shopping, while Mother sat around the apartment watching TV and browsing the internet. She had hated it, the isolation, the lack of freedom, but most of all the boredom. At this point, she was certain that she might actually die of boredom, which is why she was here now.

Mother had slipped out on her own. Something she was certain she would be lectured for later, but as of right now it didn't matter. She was free to explore the city on her own, and see what kind of things Earth had to offer her. This was important to her, especially now considering it appeared she would be here for a while.

She zipped up her sweater before leaning on the railing of the pier, overlooking the water. The sun was just rising into the sky creating a dazzling effect on the surface of the water. Given how early it was and the minor chill in the air, there had been few people out yet. This suited her just fine as it granted her the freedom to enjoy things at her own pace, though now as she looked out at the water, Mother couldn't help but wish for a little company. The people here were so strange to her, their bodies and shapes were all different. Their cultures all foreign and interesting. In many ways she wanted to be among them, to socialize and make friends. But slowly of course.

She took a deep breath of salty air, enjoying the scent of the ocean, while she leaned forward, one set of arms were crossed on the railing providing her support, while the other pair were simply placed neatly beside their counterparts. Beside her feet sat a backpack she had loaded up for her excursion while her handmaiden had been busy.

"This place isn't so bad. I think It won't be so hard to live here." She said to no one in particular. She had been practicing speaking the language here. Ever since having it downloaded, she had made a solid effort to speak it whenever possible, forcing the other Caprisians here on the island to do the same. It had seemed like the right thing to do since they were here. Aside from that, the new words were fun to say.

Blair

Blair had spent the last few days exploring the island, seeing what it had to offer. She found it fascinating, a wonderful adventure for the young half demon. She'd approach the pier from the air, her wings carrying her down, only for her to stop and float about five feet above the ground.

Her emerald eyes scanned the people there until she spotted someone interesting look. "Hello there," she'd say with a smile, her wings vanished and she'd float a bit closer to her.

"I'm Blair," she'd say with a grin, "are you new here too?"

Mother took in another deep breath, closing her eyes to savor the salty smell. For a moment she was lost in her senses, happy to be out and enjoying things that she had, up until a few years ago, taken for granted. It was strange now, how she had missed the smell of an ocean.

Her moment of reminiscence would be cut short by the sound of fluttering wings that faded into an introduction. Mother opened her eyes, spying the redhead floating nearby. Blair as she had introduced herself to be. The woman's abrupt appearance had been more shocking than the fact that she was now floating several feet off the pier, and she took a step to the side as she turned to better face Blair.

Both of Mothers right hands now grasped the railing of the pier as she smiled politely at the ginger. "Oh! Wonderful morning we are having." She said bowing slightly. Her voice was light and cheerful, and pleasant. "Blair. That is a wonderful name. Simple and to the point. Very easy to say and not hard to remember. I like it."

She paused a minute raising a hand to her lips and giggling. "Forgive me, I am new to this planet and still not familiar with things. I am Menodora Oleksandra Theokleia Hagne Eupraxia Rhode." Her voice continued to carry on smoothly.

"Thank you~" she'd smile brightly, sitting coss legged in the air. "New to the planet?" aged ask curiously, leaning in a bit, "I'm new to this entire dimension, so we're more or less in the same situation," she'd say with a giggle.

She'd giggle once more, "you're never is very beautiful, exotic, mine is a somewhat common name." The half demon floated a bit closer, intrigued by the alien woman.

"Seems we'll both be exploring this island then," she'd tilt her head, "what have you seen so far?"

Mother smiled and bowed slightly. Her pink hair fell forward draping over the front of her shoulders as she did. "Thank you. I find your's lovely as well. Blair. It is short and sweet. Very pleasant to say." Her smile widened as she took a moment to look Blair over. It was quite a sight to see someone who could fly. Despite seeing several people with the gift of flight, she was still in awe with it. It seemed like such a special thing, and in many ways reflected a majesty that she envied.

It was nice as well to know that Blair, like her, was new to the island. It meant that they had some common ground and something to develop a friendship around. Such things made bonding much easier. "To be honest I have not seen much. The Academy of higher learning, the market, and a few other places. But not a lot. This is actually my first time out by myself."

Her smile became gentler as she thought back to what she had seen so far. It had not been much, but all of it had been fascinating. "Most of what I have seen has been on the Netflix Television." She added in, to try and stress how little she knew of things here.

"Would you be interested in seeing things with me? I admit it is lonely to explore alone."

She'd giggle, "Netflix is fun, I've been watching it too," she'd float a bit closer, "I've been watching it when I'm at home but usually I like being outside and seeing everything more." She'd hum a little, "lots to see, lots to learn and lots to experience."

The half demon tilted her head, smiling, "I'd love that," she'd say excitedly. "We can see everything the island has to offer," she'd float closer, landing next to her new friend.

"What would you like to see first?" he'd ask with a playful grin, "we can get food and walk through the city? Maybe walk down the strip?" Her tail appeared and swayed behind her.

Mother thought for a moment. It was in its own way a big question. What did she want to see? There was the rest of the pier. The entire downtown core. Even the parks had still gone unexplored by the young Caprisian. She smiled briefly, placing one of her hands on her chin. "Hmmm. Well, Perhaps we start with the rest of the pier. I would love to see some of the amusement rides." She mused, turning for a moment to look at the amusement park behind her. It would be opening any moment now.

She hesitated a moment before turning back to look at Blair. "A thought occurs. I cannot fly. I hope this is not a problem." She Said with a small chuckle. She hadn't actually thought it was a problem but enjoyed her own attempt at humor. "Oh, I should suggest as well that we get something to eat." She added cutting her chuckle short.

With that Mother turned to look again at the amusement park on the pier. She could see some people arriving to walk around the pier before heading home. For many of them, this was their form of exercise. It was endearing to see them here, knowing that they had come here before, and would continue to come here.

"Yesss, the rides look so fun," she'd say excitedly, "we can go on that big spinning wheel thing, oh and try that pink fluffy candy." She'd hop on place and then move a bit closer to her.

"No, no, you don't have to fly," she'd giggle, "I don't mind walking with you." She'd link her arms with one of hers, "food first yes, they have food stands further down," she'd leas her further down the pier, pointing out the various piers.

"Do you like sea food? Spicy foods?" her tail would sway behind her, "you pick and I'll pay." She'd smile playfully.
