On her second bout of exploration, Heather decided to check out the orchard. The sweet, earthy smell enticed her in that direction, entreating her to come closer. She was in the midst of thoughts of home when she bumped into something.

No, scratch that. Someone. She glanced up and found herself face to face with a woman with blonde hair. "Oh, sorry, didn't mean to bump into you," She muttered.

Charlie smiled and shook her head before waving it off. "It's all right," she assured the woman gently. Still, her eyes flicked over the newcomer, assessing her. Stranger, hadn't been in the oasis (that she'd seen anyway), but otherwise, didn't seem to be a threat.

"Are you new here? I mean, new-new, or ... you woke up with the rest of us?" she asked curiously.

"New-new here," Heather responded, smiling. "Just arrived yesterday. I'm Heather," she told the woman, holding her hand out for the woman to shake.

"Sarah," Charlie replied, reaching out to take and shake the woman's hand lightly. "Nice to meet you," she continued. It was polite, after all, even if the situation was so bizarre.

She was actually kind of getting used to it though, and she enjoyed the sense of safety and relief that came from knowing (well, assuming) that the Shop couldn't find her here.
