Oh, how lovely, someone else was talking to the water. Arkady had attempted a conversation with her shower int he morning, but it decided she was... too strange and stopped talking. It had hurt her feelings a little, to be honest so she'd gone looking for fountains.

Fountains were happy places. Maybe they'd be in a better mood.

But she saw a familiar face by a pond, and decided to see how she, and the pond, were doing.

"Hello, you're the girl with the pretty glasses, aren't you?"

Luna looked up, smiling as soon as she saw the familiar eyes. They were even prettier in person! "Oh! Hello, nice to meet you again. And this is--"

She gestured at the pond. Because, you know, it was polite to introduce your friends. Right? "--The pond."

"Hello, Mr. Pond, sir!" Arkady waved at the pond, but paused mid-wave.

"Oh, but can he see me? My shower this morning seemed to be able to, can ponds see as well?" Perhaps Luna would know, these new... realities were terribly hard to keep track of sometimes.

"I'm not an expert on ponds, but I believe so. It saw well enough to splash me in the face."

Said with a shrug. At least it didn't try to drown her for insulting it, or something... "My shower got very upset with me. Not that I blame it, but it blasted on the hot water to make me leave, and that hurt a bit."

"I had a lovely conversation with mine. At least for a little while, I think I confused it."

Which happened a fair bit with Arkady. She didn't mind, sooner or later things worked out.

"I think you have to be nice. Like this..." She turned to the pond with another wave, "Hello, Mr. Pond! Or, Miss, I don't want to assume. Thank you for looking so pretty today, and I hope the recent weather changes haven't been too disruptive for you!"

"Confused it?"

Luna blinked back at her, clearly not understanding how such a thing could have happened.

The pond, on the other hand, was busy splashing up at them in greeting. It seemed appreciate manners far more than people accidentally throwing things in it.

"Oh, thank you, I do try. Though it's difficult with people throwing all of this muck in me, and I do get so cloudy when the weather is bad, it's very nice of you not to notice... oh, and either is fine. I don't really mind."

"I confuse some people sometimes."

Arkady shrugged, it really wasn't a big deal.

She looked back at the pond. "Do you have any fishes ever? I bet the fishes are nice."

[i_seethestrals]

"I confuse people all the time," Luna said distractedly, staring either at her own reflection or directly at the pond. It was hard to tell under these strange circumstances. "At least, that's what they tell me."

As if to answer Arkady's question, however, the pond seemed to clear itself just enough to reveal a school of tiny goldfish swimming in its waters.

"Oh... fishies!" Arkady clapped in joy, they were quite lovely. "Look, Luna! Aren't they pretty?"

Pointing, Arkady looked at her new friend. Luna seemed to understand, what it was like to make sense in your head, but not to anyone else. It was sometimes lonely. The FreakAngels never held it against her, but the others in Whitechapel sometimes did.

Except the children, maybe that was why Arkady liked playing with them so munc.
