Discovery.

Kenna had been driving for what felt like months now. She'd gotten the cash for the car from a man in Tampa Bay, an older man who wanted to hear stories of her travels. She was pretty sure he could tell her nature, but it hadn't ever come up in conversation

Fylene looks down, saddened. "I doubt therrre is much forrr me to even go back to...Therrre werrre bombs...I escaped on one of the last ships...I'm not surrre my planet as it was exists anymorrre..."

She fights crying. Why should she cry? The people there made her what she is, and cursed her for what they did. She was hidden away, almost killed, was beaten, all because her government approved of her creation then condemded her...

All the pain floods back and a few tears leak from her eyes and she furiously wipes them away. "I am not welcome therrre, anyway..."

"Oh, darlin'..." Kenna leans down, using an edge of her shirt to wipe at Fylene's face. "Well, Earth's pretty nice. You'll like it here, I think."

She looks around the apartment, her eyes finally settling on a door. "We can run ye a warm bath. What d'ye think? Sound nice?"

[fylene]

"B-b-bath? No, no. That's ok. I can clean myself." A look of pure panic is on her face, indicating water and her do not mix. A small yawn ending with a purr escapes her lips*

"Fand blessed me, ye are felinoid, aren't ye? I should'a known, cats don't like water!"

She leans over, giving Fylene a knowing smile. "Tell ya a secret. Fae don't like high-pitched sounds. Scrambles our little brains and drives us nutsy."

[fylene]

She nods, another yawn/purr coming out of her. "What time of day is it?" She was always nocturnal, a draw back of her genetics. She felt her body becoming slugglish as she feels the sun rise.

Kenna digs into her jeans pocket, finally pulling out her watch. "Five hours into the morn."

Kenna goes to retrieve the plate of pizza Caleb started in the kitchen, finally returning with the food. Her eyes gesture down the hall and Caleb indicates the third door on the left, and Kenna shows Fylene down to it. The bedroom looks to be a spare, but comfy nonetheless. "Food, and warm bed. Make yuirself at home, and don't be afraid to give a shout if'n ye need me."

[fylene]

Fylene nods her appreciation and enters the room. "Thank you..." She closes the door behind her, and quickly eats the pizza. It is very very good.

She lays down on the bed and sleep tugs at the edge of her conciousness. Her last thought is of Kenna's smiling face and Caleb's warm hand...
