Shanna Eight was still not used to Earth. She thought the city of New york would be the best place to get started in learning about Earth culture. So she was going to stay there until she thought she could blend in well. The problem was that there were very few things she could eat on Earth when it came to food. She had gotten very sick twice trying to eat very basic Earth foods.

Cheese burgers tasted so good but puking for an hour after that was not fun. She would never do that again.

But she had things now! A job at a pet store. The animals there seemed to really like her. But no more than a human which was good. She didn't like drawing attention to herself.

She also had a place to stay. It wasn't very good. It made her wonder if Earth had caste systems too.

Today was her day off. The first day off she had in two weeks. Which was nice actually.

But now she was ting to pick some place to go to learn about Earth culture. She had no idea where one would do that. That was why she was hovering just a few inches off the ground on a street corner reading from a tour guide. She didn't realize she was floating and didn't notice the nervous whispers of people passing by her and standing near that same street corner.

"Oh no. I can't actually do that. I mean that I share my heat by physical proximity. We aren't as concerned about boundaries. It makes little sense to us to worry about it when we must fight to keep warm since our world fights to rob us of any warmth. But because I fall in the middle, I can help those that feel too warm share what they have with those that are too cold. It helps prevent diseases that have adapted to survive the cold. It's important to keep the public from getting sick. We have hot houses built to help people who just aren't quite suited to survive the cold."

She flashes a grin. "I'm learning French just in case. I wouldn't want to upset an actual Canadian. I find the languages her are... Interesting. Pretty too. I like the languages from Northern Europe the best though. They remind me of home. And I think my Mother would love the stories I've found about your um. Kinsmen? She is a... kil'ahveyiv? I don't know the word you would use. Word shaper? Keeper of histories. She likes alien cultures."

Vincent lets himself fall, gracefully, as they approach their target destination. A little out of the way vegetarian restaurant near St Mark's that made a good bowl of chili, even if nothing else on the menu had ever particularly tickled Vincent's fancy. He sets down on the sidewalk and waits for his companion.

"In that case, shall I teach you a few pleasantries in Scandinavian over lunch?" He smiles, offering his hand to the lady. "And the word would likely be 'historian' in English."

	She followed after him. She was pleased to be around someone who was in her eyes from Earth that could fly. Walking seemed boring, honestly. She slips her hand in his. "That would be fun. Hm. It sounds right. I'm still working on my English. Some of your words sound strange to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Americanized English is particularly challenging. You seem to have a strong grasp of it so far." He nods encouragingly as he leads her inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)
