::Rainii lands the ship effortlessly, and stands, stretching.::
"Well! We're here!"
::Alyene just looks around, confused, and Rainii realized the her mother had never been to any other world but their own.::
She might have to start getting used to it...
::She moves to exit the ship, walking past Alyene and Melania, when she notices that Melania seems less than happy to be there. She stops.::
"Hey, Laina...everything ok?"

((OOC: I swear I didn't even see this thread. Totally my fault. )) :: Melaina self-consciously tugs at her skirt. It has nothing to do with modesty, and everything to do with standing out. Not that she had ever quite blended in, but at least in her own clothes, she could blend more into the background. Her initial response manages to avoid the question entirely. :: "Of course not. When is everything okay?" :: Unexpectedly, to her at least, her expression softens somewhat, and she gives a more honest answer. :: "We shouldn't have come here. I'll probably be recognized, and if those puppets can follow us here..." :: She cuts herself off at that, but her thoughts aren't quite so silent. :: What? They'll attack and burn this city to the ground? What's the loss? Just a few humans, some buildings. Nothing, really.Shut up.:: She may not care much about humans, but she also doesn't actively wish them harm. No matter how hard she tried to. :: "Anyway... it can't be helped now. We should find a place to stay."

(OOC: it's ok! I thought maybe you were busy, and I didn't want to press you about it. ^_^)
::She decides not to question Melaina further, and goes along with the subject change.::
"Right."
::Rainii, Melaina and Alyene exit the ship, Alyene still silent. Rainii, much to her annoyance, can't quite figure out why.::
Maybe once we've found a place, and we've settled a bit. It'll be easier to talk to her then.
"Now to figure out where to go. And, seeing as you know this place better than we do, Laina...do you have any ideas?"

Hm...
:: Melaina automatically rejects the first few thoughts that pop into her head. The inn is too obvious, and the abandoned house on the edge of town would be next on the list. She scans over the town, eventually settling her gaze on one particular building. ::
"There's a storage cellar through that house. That might be a good place to wait for a couple of days, until we know whether we've lost them."
:: She absently eyes Alyene for a moment. The woman's silence is unusual, and makes her consider that there is not much of a noticeable mother-daughter resemblance between her momentary companions. ::
((OOC: I don't know why, but I get the idea that Julie takes more after Alyene and Rainii after Laguna. Did you two arrange that, or am I just reading things into it?))

"That works for me!"
::Melania takes the lead, Rainii and Alyene following quietly behind. The more she though about it, the more her mother's silence bothered her, and she couldn't wait until they settled to talk to her. So, as they walk, she strikes up a conversation.::
"So, mom..."
::She pauses for a moment, trying to think of a polite way to bring the subject up, but gives up and decides just to ask.::
"...What's with the quietness lately?"
::Alyene stops walking and turns to face Rainii. She says nothing for awhile, just stares, before beginning to talk.::
Alyene: "I just...This is...I am...done with this running, and going to strange places, I'm just too old for this, and you..."
::She points at Rainii, as if it will help her make her point.::
Alyene: "You are just like your father."
::Alyene turns away sharply, and begins following Melania again. Rainii stares after her, then runs to catch up.::
"I'll take that as a compliment!"
(OOC: It was never planned that way, they just...developed that way, haha. ^_^)
