[The moment she starts to trip, Polly's there to help her catch her balance.]

I could make that too...!

We're just a couple of rooms away... It wouldn't take long...

[11ady]

Very well.

[heaving a sigh as she tries to steady herself]

I concede. Begging your pardon for the imposition. This isn't the best of introductions.

[curious_copycat]

[Polly smiles.]

It's okay. I've met people in all kinds of ways. It's not a bad introduction either.

My suite's this way!

[11ady]

[resigned and following]

Might I ask your name so I can adequately bestow my thanks?

[The girl smiles over her shoulder.]

I’m Polly! And this [indicating the large spider on her shoulder] is Harold!

[Reaching 8-3, the door slides open with an amiable greeting. Inside is a well-kept living area, all but one of its walls lined with bookshelves. Along the one, unlined wall is a holographic window “overlooking” one of the gardens on the Thor’s second floor, the scene made unlikely by the fact that it appears to be raining.]

[Near to this, there is a table with a handful of flower pots, two of which seem to contain a pair of sentient sunflowers, singing quietly to themselves, as well as an equally sentient starfruit plant.]

[Polly holds the door open, inviting Une to go inside with a nod.]

What’s yours?
