Say cheese, please.

Cocking her head at the brand, Pandora raised an eyebrow.
"Umm, what exactly does that mean? What is it for?" She asked curiously, flinching a bit at the sight of it. It looked painful, almost.

Pan followed her through the tour, making oohs and ahhs at every sight. This was all new and exciting to her, even if it wasn't so for Maddie.

"A pool? Could we go swimming?!" She interjected excitedly. Though she wasn't much good at swimming, she loved it anyways. It was rather hard to be good at it when you can't dive down without turning into a bunch of bubbles and resurfacing, but even so, she loved it.

The gardens, surprisingly, didn't awe Pandora all that much. Rather, it made her homesick, just a bit, anyways.
"It reminds me of home, all these plants. Not quite as wild, though. It was much more messy and coniferous where I lived." She commented.

"You have to use that brand to channel magic? Huh." Pan commented, a little awed at her powers regardless of her need for the brand. "Could you ever transform without the brand?" She questioned, a curious look on her face.

Her face perked up at the offer to go swimming.
"Right now? I mean, if you want. We could go after the tour!" She offered excitedly, clearly enthusiastic at the chance to see one of the huge pools she had heard about.

While they were in the garden, Maddie seemed almost bored with it. Or maybe just really relaxed.
"Well, yeah. We had woods for miles and miles... The old men said they were endless, but obviously they weren't. Sometimes it was fun to imagine they were, though..." She reminisced, a dreamy expression on her face. "Sometimes, my dad would come visit and take me up to the mountains that overlooked the forest. He always said his house was just a little ways above that, but... I was always too scared to go that high." She admitted, her initial excitement fading to embarrassment.

"That's cool. I'd be glad to help you practice, if you want. We can go flying any time!" She offered, trying to be helpful to her new roommate. "I never really had to practice my powers, so I guess it's weird to think that way." She said, shrugging. "I guess I was born lucky..." She concluded, a little darkly, almost ashamed that she started out with such privilege when others had to work for their powers.

Pan nodded in agreement at Maddie's statement, looking wistfully around the forest, before glancing back as she finished with the question about her parent's living situation.
"Oh, no, my dad is really busy. He can't always get time to come see us, but he tries. I usually see him a few times a year." She explained, shrugging. "It's a tough job, being a god." She added, as an afterthought, as if to clarify.

"Alright, that sounds great! I can't wait!" She said excitedly when Maddie offered to go swimming after the tour. "What about the city? What's there to see there?" She inquired.

The moment of awkward silence made Pan a tiny bit uncomfortable, but Maddie's smile when she answered reassured her and made her feel much better.
"I guess so." She said simply, not wanting to make the situation more awkward. Technically, she wasn't even human at all, due to the circumstances of her birth, so it was actually more impressive of Maddie to have powers at all. Pan was quite literally a gift of wind granted to her mother.

She listened to Maddie list a few places throughout the city, citing parks, stores, places to get food, and... BEACHES!? She'd have to ask about those later. Maybe they didn't need to go to the pool after all.
"Any cool places to fly?" She asked casually, looking upwards. "I mean, I imagine I'll be doing it a lot, after all." She explained

Pan grinned excitedly as she explained a few places to fly.
"We should really go fly some time soon. I can teach you all about it..." She said dreamily. You would think, being made of air, that one would get tired of riding the winds, but Pan never did. "What about the tall buildings? Have you flown by those?" She asked.

She wondered what exactly Maddie was thinking, as she seemed to lose focus again for a moment. Was it just anxiety? She'd do what she could to calm it, as she didn't want her roommate and potential best friend to be freaking out over the little things.

Her face became blank, obviously confused, when Maddie mentioned swimsuits.
"What's a swimsuit?" She asked, a little confused. "Why would you wear clothes while swimming? Wouldn't the water just pull them off?" She continued, puzzled at the thought.
