[RL w/River and Simon - Pakha]

[The Master's ASREV lands in a crowded spaceport on the coast. He's landed it the proper way, materializing in space and getting clearance to embark, because "Pakhar are panicky little rodents

[River looks around, taking in the space with wide eyes and then sniffing the air unceremoniously.

Yeah, it smells a bit, and she makes a face.]

Visuals meant to compensate for odor.

[Simon is looking around, less at the ceiling and more at the tourists and Pakhar.]

Don't say things like that, River.

[He pauses and looks around again.]

It isn't polite... And, yes, unless you were planning on having us walk everywhere.

[The Master chuckles a little, and motions for them to follow. He orders tickets from a kiosk and takes them towards the exit, through the alien crowds.

There seems to be two sets of everything here, one for the Pakhars and one for tourists. Large vidscreens show adverts for the various sites of interest, while smaller ones advertise local markets and events.]

I don't suppose you've ever seen aliens, Simon.

[Out front there are rows of hover-vehicles, ready for tourist use. A frightfully cheerful Pakhar takes their tickets and motions for them to bend down so she can place leis around their necks.]

Thanks much for visiting Pakha! Enjoy your stay! Today beaches open until moonrise, tides are strong! Please be careful, yeah!

[River beams at the Pakhar while she leans down to accept the lei.]

Xie xie.

[Then she pulls the end of it up and puts it over her nose.]

-----------

[Simon shoots the Master a pointed look.]

I don't think I can say that anymore, can I?

[He smiles as pleasantly as he can for still being generally uncomfortable with the idea of getting a lei from a giant hamster and leans forward.]

Thank you...

[The Pakhar didn't catch River's gesture and just grinned widely. She scurried to open the doors for the group and handed them each an animated sheet detailing the sights around the coast.]

Best restaurant in Ka'Nol by the sea, two clicks out, yeah! Perfect for families!

[Master smiles nervously. She thinks they're a family?]

Thank you, really. I'm sure we'll enjoy it.

[And so they sped off to the coast... The trees are lush in shades of green and purple.]

The beaches of Pakhar are really something, very pristine. Truth is most Pakha are afraid of the water.
