Lloyd nodded a bit. "Mine does not need to be interesting. It is simply the place where I sleep."
Lloyd nodded a bit. "Mine does not need to be interesting. It is simply the place where I sleep."
“Well, come look where I sleep.” She began walking towards her bedroom,” Where you sleep doesn’t have to be just where you…sleep. It can make you feel things. Like peace.” She grinned, “And comfort, which is something you seem to lack in your sleep.”
"Comfort?" The word felt strange in Lloyd's mouth. To him, the place he slept didn't need to be comfortable. It just needed to be safe from enemies.
“Yes, just let me show you.” She grinned, heading over to the room down the hall from the heavily furnished living room and kitchen.
Lloyd followed Sabina to her room and surveyed it quietly. "Do I have a room like this? If so, I haven't found it yet."
“I don’t know, I think I saw one.” She answered, “But I doubt it’s decorated like mine.” She chuckled and opened the door.
Her room had a pastel blue decor with a large (queen sized) bed placed in the middle. Four pillows sat at the head of it, placed in reclining positions over the top of the white comforter. Two paintings of various plants hung on the wall above the bed. In the corner by the open window sat a large potted plant bathing in the natural light. Either side of her bed stood a side table with a lamp and a book.
"Do you have a husband?" He asked suddenly with complete seriousness, walking around the bed as he examined it. "This is quite a large bed for one person." (He's not trying to suggest they get married he's just confused lol. He's never really seen a large bed for only one person)
(Lolol ok!)
“Oh..” she blinked and sank down into the bed, “No, I’m not married. I just like having a lot of room to sleep. One of my friends gave it to me a long time ago. She’s gone now.”
"Gone? Like Nathaniel?" Lloyd looked up at her, confused. "Or left to travel alone?" He remained standing as he glanced about the room. Honestly, it was against his nature to be alone with a woman in her bedroom anyhow; he wasn't married, after all.
“She’s a human, and she moved away to go get married in another state.” She answered, “You can sit down in that chair if you want.” She gestured to the recliner chair in the corner.
Lloyd nodded and sat down, folding his hands neatly in his lap. "I've never had a human friend before. What are they like?"
“They’re a lot like angels in their temperament.” She replied, “Most of them are pretty grounded in their reality and they don’t believe in angels.”
"Why not? There's plenty of proof." Lloyd extended his own wings for a moment as an example.
“True..” she shrugged loosely, “But I don’t know, they just like to believe in their own worldly science and views. They believe there’s no scientific a being like us could fly, so how could we exist at all?”
"But there is a scientific reason. Take a look at birds, for example. They can fly because their bones are hollow. So are ours, and so we can fly." Lloyd emphasized his words with one hand.
“Very true, but so many of them can’t handle the fact that there’s something more to their world than what meets the eye.” She sighed, “It’s exhausting sometimes, but if we show them, they will only want to do tests.”
"So humans are like angels, but they're ignorant and are incapable of flight?" Lloyd asked, folding his wings again.
“Basically.” She reaches over to pull a pillow into her lap, “But they make really cool things.”
"Like the car things? They seem to be quite dangerous."
“More than cars,” she replied, “Pillows, electronics, other entertainment.”
"Electronics? What is an electronics?" He asked. In heaven, pretty much everything was manual.
“Phones, televisions, everything I just have to show you instead of trying to explain.” She dismissed.
"Alright… is there anything else about humans I should know?"
“Not really. You just need to meet them to really know them.” She rested her chin on the pillow, “They have nice relationships.”
"Like friends?" Lloyd cocked his head slightly to the side. "Spouse?"
“Either.” She rubbed her thumb against the pillow, “But I prefer angels.”
Lloyd nodded. "I wonder when I'll be going back home? I mean, I'll likely be on earth a while…"
“You probably will..I’ve been here for several years.” She glanced away.
"Yeah… Are you ever going to get to go home?"
“I’m sure I will eventually.” She shrugged, “I intend to, but ya never know, huh?”
