[Action - 305 Miller Street]

[Something is very...off when she wakes up. It has to do with the fact that she's in a soft bed, and with the fact that the Leapfrog's rattle even allowed her to sleep in the first place- or the fact that for the first time in a long time, she's feeling slightly chilly.

Family members might catch the tall blonde (in place of the smaller drone girl) peering out the doorway of her room, but not before she makes a quick phone call-- ]

[Phone]

Nico, Chase, Victor, Molly, Klara-- Julie?

Please be there.

[Action - Grocer]

[Karolina's in the fruit section, scowling at the tiny selection, ocasionally picking up an object to examine. She frowns at it. This stuff couldn't be all-organic.]

Seriously? [Find out what's wrong?]

[Action - Mayfield - Night]

[It's nighttime. And Karolina Dean is a normal girl, sitting huddled up on a bench on the side of the road, shivering slightly. She's human. For the first time ever, she's 100% completely human. Normal.

...Almost normal. Close enough to normal. This place has tricked her into thinking, just for a moment, that it can all be okay. Mayfield has swept her off her feet, taken her away from her friends, and given her a gift she thought she'd never have. She's just another girl.

She lets out another breath, a puff of air in the chilly night.]

I could get used to this.

...Leave? [God she hopes it's to do with leaving and not the body. The topic of leaving is a safer one. ] I had to beloved. I could not let you do it, I couldn't rusk you being harmed. And if I had told you properly you would not have allowed it.

Yes, leave! I - of course I wouldn't have allowed it! You can't just do things like that Xavin, do you have any idea how worried I was?! How lonely it was when you left?

[As guilty as she does feel for leaving, Xavin's own temper flares, voice rising as she speaks] So I was supposed to let you leave with them? We don't know what they would have done to you Karolina, but it would likely be a mockery of a trial and the death. Majesdanians are not the nicest race in the universe, as nice as you yourself are! I was not going to let you walk to you death while I lived.

Don't you understand? Without you I have nothing. My home is gone, my people would likely scorn me. Your home is on Earth and you have so much more. I wasn't going to let you sacrifice that. As lonely as you may have been, I would have been lonelier. I love you, and even if I die, I'll die knowing you're safe.

[Her piece said, Xavin falls into silence utterly aware how much emotion she just showed.

[Karolina's temper rises as well- but she quickly drops into silence. Her arguments to this fight are long exhausted. She's played it over and over in her head, things she would say to Xavin if she could, and now, faced with the chance, she's suddenly short on words.]

Did they hurt you? [Its a stupid question, she asks it anyway.]

[Karolina's silence is both welcome and a worry. On one hand, perhaps she sees things through Xavin's eyes. On the other it is more likely she's just letting it go to keep the peace when she should really speak her mind. In her mind, Xavin pushes away the nerves. Focus on the questions.]

No. [And if they have it's information Xavin will never share with Karolina.]

[Really, she is just bottling it all up- but she doesn't release that to Xavin now. No, it'll spill out at another, much more inconvenient time. Right now Karolina's just really glad to hear Xavin's voice.]

I didn't know if I'd ever hear from you again- I've missed you, so much.

I've missed you too, beloved. [A soft sigh escapes her as Xavin lets herself sink down against the wall, the floor cool through the layer of her nightdress. Tilting her head up she stares at the walls, knowing she should get up, find more suitable clothes, and find Karolina, find where they are.

But she tired and worn. Sitting is nice]

...I do not think I like space anymore. It is different from when I was with you.

You don't? That's fine, we don't have to go back. We can stay on Earth, together. I like the sound of that better, to be honest.

[Deep down Xavin knows she should agree, say that Earth is the best. But Earth is not her true home, and even if her true home is destroyed... well... she's trying.

Softly she hums, eyes half closed and savouring the sound of Karolina's voice]

... Do you know where we are? It looks like Earth but... different.
