Xavier shrugged at Lucas. "Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? There are loads of coincidences. And Vincent would go on and on about how large a coincidence it is that we're mostly all from Earth anyway, an-"

He glanced up and saw Qrlil and Saliha. "Oh, hey. Lucas, this is Qrlil and Saliha. Qrlil, Saliha, this is Lucas. Say hi, everybody."

"Hi, everybody," Qrlil said dutifully. She smiled, and walked out of the water to sit next to Xavier. Glancing over at Lucas, she inclined her head. "I am pleased to meet you, Lucas," she said politely.

She looked back at Xavier. "So, what have you been talking about?"

It should be noted that, if Lucas can only "hear" by reading people's minds, he may have difficulty understanding Qrlil.

Also, good night.

Well, this was fun... The Prince separated from Shinako for a moment, and reached for his parachute chord. It deployed, and his descent was greatly slowed down. Not as exciting, but he supposed this was how humans would have to do these things, considering how fragile they are.

"My friends are...nice?" Siv trailed off. "They're kind of a rowdy bunch, really. Rowdy and...diverse, I guess?"

"They're mostly work friends, so they're not exactly the type of friendships you're thinking of."

"Apparently," said Xavier, "Lucas has some problems with uncontrolled telepathy. You'd have to talk to him about it, I don't fully understand it. It doesn't help that I don't really get telepathy in general." He shrugged. "Sure, I know what it is, but that's about it."

[Sky >> Beach]

Shinako opened her parachute as well, arms in the air, with Melissa following suit, as they floated down over the Resort.

"Watch out below!" Shinako said, drifting into the beach next to the group of Xavier, Lucas, Qrlil, and Saliha.

Melissa landed on the Pier, where some maids helped take off her parachute.


[Beach]

Nadezhda lifted up her sunglasses for a moment, noticing the three inflated parachutes in the sky, and Shinako nearly crashing into the group. "Skydiving? How pedestrian." she said, putting her sunglasses back on.

He started as Xavier oh-so-casually mentioned his issue to these people he'd met two seconds ago but was too surprised to interrupt. He found words again and said, "What are you doing? You weren't supposed to, I mean, why did you..." he trailed off. Just because I told you, it doesn't mean I'm okay with—this isn't something you just throw out like... He rubbed his eyes with one hand and stuck out the other. "Nice meeting you. You don't have to ask me anything. Really."

He glanced at the parachuters as they landed on the beach. Great. Xavier'd better not tell them too.

Xavier stared in surprise at Lucas. "But... but you said you didn't mind telling me, so why should these people be any different? I even said if you didn't want to tell me — after you made up your mind, remember — that you didn't have to. But you went ahead and did it anyway, so I assumed you didn't care that much about it. If you didn't want me to tell anyone else, you should've said something like, 'Don't go shouting it from the rooftops.' You might be able to read my mind, but I can't read yours."

Qrlil glanced at Lucas, a bit puzzled. Deciding that it would be best to stay out of the conversation (argument?) until she knew more, she simply blinked and said "Oh."

Turning to the newcomer - why is someone parachuting onto the beach? - she dipped her head slightly in greetings. "Have we met? I am Qrlil."

"Yeah, no, I know. I'm sorry." He shook his head. How am I supposed to tell you what I wanted when I'm not even sure? "It doesn't matter."

"Qrlil - nice to meet you, I'm Shinako - hey, you should really try the skydiving! It's a lot of fun!" Shinako said quickly, as a couple maids wrapped up and took off her parachute.

"Skydiving?" Qrlil said dubiously. "...I think I will stay with swimming, if it is all right with you," she said.

She sat down on the beach, giving a pleased hiss as her legs sank into the sand. This is certainly more pleasant when you can feel it directly, I will say that. She glanced over at Xavier, wanting to speak to him, but not to interrupt. I suppose I can just wait for a moment. It's not as though this is not enjoyable as it is.

"Well, I'll just not tell anyone from now on," said Xavier. "Just... in the future, make sure people know you don't want them spreading that, okay? That way, you won't have people like me accidentally blurting it out to others within range."

"Yeah, sure - oop, gotta go!" Shinako said, running over to where The Prince was landing.

On the other end of the beach, The Prince was standing wit both his feet firmly planted on the ground. Hmm... that landing wasn't all that bad... or great, either... now, I wonder where Shinako landed... His Question was answered very quickly, as he saw Shinako running over to him. "Great, there you are!" he called out to her as she arrived.

"So... Was that fun, or what?" Shinako said, as a couple maids helped remove The Prince's parachute as well.

"Your turn to decide next!"

A smile dawned on The Prince face. "Yeah... it was fun. Right now, though, let's... hmm... let's try something a little more competitive. Maybe one of the human sports. The sports I usually partake in... well, they aren't very appropriate for this kind of place."

"Well," Julia pointed out, "you have to meet people somewhere, don't you?" Then, following the train of thought, she added, "what kind of work do you do, anyways?"

Avea was about to mention this question had come up before, and even opened her mouth to speak, but decided against it before saying anything.

"I already told you! I do some desk job. Lots of paperwork. Also a huge time taker. That's why I came here. To take a break." Siv nodded at her own explanation. "You can only spend so much time with everyone before you feel like you're just breathing recycled air."

Julia was a bit annoyed she'd stuck with the same story, but such was life. There was more to her, Julia knew it. But what? Maybe if she asked for a few more details...

Seeing Julia's mind working, Avea quickly said, "ah. Sounds... well, I can't really say. It's one of those things we don't quite have where I come from...

Julia interrupted. "so, when you say you've got 'rowdy' friends... sure you don't have any fun stories?"

Siv's eyes widened.

"Ooosh. That's a rough question."

ABORT MISSION. ABORT MISSION.

No. Calm down. Jeebus.

"Well, there really isn't anything. Mostly people fight a lot. Trying to compete over the...promotions...and stuff. Especially Rona and Koby. They argue a lot. That's really all there is."

This was horrible conversation material. HORRIBLE. She should be ASHAMED of herself. Ashamed! The most ashamed most-likely-british-person EVER!

"...I have a friend who eats fried crickets?" Siv finally managed to sputter out.

Julia stared, looking slightly ill. Finally, she said, "fried crickets? That's... odd."

Avea turned to Julia with a mystified expression and said to Julia, "well, how else are you supposed to prepare them? You have to cook 'em somehow if you don't want to catch anything, and they'd get really soggy if you boiled them..."

Julia replied, "uh, I meant eating crickets at all. And... hold on, I've never actually seen your people eat crickets before."

Avea said, "it's a Kykzavi dish, actually. My dad makes it every so often, but importing the right crickets can get expensive. Oh, xau, you've made me hungry..." Avea tapped one of the waitresses and said, "could you bring us some stir fried crickets? I hope the chef knows the recipe..." Looking around the table, she added, "looks like I'll be the only one."

Julia grimaced and said to Siv, "er. Anyways. Any other fun stories? Preferably ones that won't make Avea there hungry from something gross?"

Avea said, "this from someone who eats cheese. Seriously, that's just wrong."

"...what's wrong with cheese?" Siv asked, almost a tad hesitantly.

And for some reason, she now couldn't get that image out of her head of Avea and Amy chowing down on fried crickets like they were pieces of popcorn.

Avea looked incredulous. Her voice filled with disgust, she said, "where do I start? First there's the cows themselves..."

Julia leaned in and whispered to Siv, "oh, and she's lactose intolerant, but even if she wasn't..."

Meanwhile, Avea continued her rant, "...big, dumb, smelly beasts! Seriously! The stench! And you're going to drink whatever comes out of that thing's teats? Why? What desperation could have possibly possessed some Earthborn to steal cattle's milk? And what madness would make them enjoy the stuff? It's just plain unnatural! And that's just the milk..."

Julia cleared her throat and said, "uh, we get the point."

"Well, it's a dairy product. Produced by mammals. We are mammals. Biology lesson...stuff." Siv spoke a bit carefully with this, not wanting to say 'at least it's not human milk.'

"Besides, goat cheese is way better." Siv ended lamely.
