Pretty soon, the door opened. "Al? Don't worry, it's just me! How was your day?" Another door opened, leading Allyanna into the room. She stopped, looking at the pens, then at the screen with the news on it. "You got bored?"

"Extremely. Almost instantly" She replied with a smirk and a shrug. "How was your day?"

"Busy. Some idiot kids decided to explore the still-burning wreckage of your ship. They will be fine, but they got some serious burns and cuts." She said, going over to the news and muting it again.
"… Where did you find so many pens? I do not remember loosing that many.."

Al smirked "Literally everywhere" She mused, standing to join Allyana. "In the couch, under the couch, under tables.. pretty much anywhere that's not in immediate view"

Allyanna stared. "… Huh. I- how? Nevermind, it is not important. What is important are any questions you had for me about the planet."
Allyanna sat, turning to Al, and waiting

She shrugged, pulling out a little notepad and a pretty green pen. The notepad was singed at the bottom, the papers stiff and the edges of each page were differently charred. The pen was slightly browned on the end, and the top of it burned and somewhat melted, like something should've been there but was destroyed. "Maybe start with the terrain, climate, stuff like that. I was supposed to research your planet, find out everything I can"

"Okay.. we have fairly smooth terrain an a mild climate, compared to other, nearby planets. We have three moons, more than the nearest planets. We have a few mountains, and one volcano." Allyanna said, thinking.

Al took notes of everything. "Okay.. what does it generally look like outside, what are the names of the moons, and what galaxy are we in?"

"It looks..like outside? I am sorry, that is a difficult question, I will get you pictures. The moons are called 'Avian Major', 'Avian Minor' and 'Aquiar'. We are in the Tourmaline galaxy. What galaxy are you from?" Allyanna said, fiddling with a oen she picked up.

Al nodded, writing down the information and looking up. "My bad. I forget that question's like asking a fish what the ocean looks like. I'm from the Milky Way galaxy. I think your news reporter called it… Garnet?"

Allyanna went quiet for a moment. "The Garnet Galaxy… Exists?" She asked
"I thought it was a myth."
Allyanna went quiet again, deep in thought.

She gave a slight smirk. "And I thought constellations were natural. Guess we both learned somethin" She replied casually

Allyanna nodded. "I guess. I did not mean to offend, if that is how it came across."
She messed with the pen some more.
"Do you have any more questions?"

"No offense taken." She replied shrugging. She seemed to be kinda mean, with no hard feelings, just rudely blunt. "Tell me about your species?" she asked

"Ah, okay. We are the Nefili {Floaters}. We are mammalian, as you seem to be. Warm blooded, live birth, milk producing. We are able to manipulate the way atoms in non-living things interact with other items to make them float. Or, at least, that is the most current belief about why we can make things float. We are civilized, sentient, and intelligent, which is currently the 'best' of any animal species we've found. You seem to be similar."
Allyanna said, watching Al.

Al noted down each detail, seeming particularly interested in the Nefili as a species. "Yes, humans are mammalian and sentient, technically civilized and intelligent but-" she took a sharp breath through her teeth "It varies"

Allyanna made a noise similar to a giggle. High and soft, it almost sounded like a human giggle. "You also have some idiots on the species?"

"We have an award for dying stupidly" She replied with a smirk "It's called the Darwin Award. Some guy once got it for trying to saw a grenade in half"

Allyanna blinked, taking in the information. Her large ears pinned slightly back, her halo dropping. "What-? That- Oh my birds, does your species need an intervention?"

She gave a soft chuckle at that. "No, no. It's a rare thing, it's just something we do to categorize and occasionally laugh at the stupidest of stupid humans"

Allyanna relaxed slightly. "That… Is still not great. But it is better than what I thought. Any more questions?"

She was quiet, pursing her lips in thought for a moment before replying "Nope" and popping the 'p'. "Not that I can think of"

Allyanna nodded. "Alright.. are you hungry?" Allyanna asked, standing up. "I can make more food!"

"Yes please" She replied with a lopsided smile. "It was good"

Allyanna nodded. "Would you like to come with me? Might be nice for you to move around." She suggested.

She didn't reply. Instead, she got up and followed after her, the same smile on her face

Allyanna led her through a door, then a hallway, then another door, into a room that must have been the kitchen. "Would you like the same thing or something new?" She asked.

"Something new?" She asked, a hopeful look in her eye, almost like a child expecting to be taken to the zoo

Allyanna nodded and pulled out ingredients and dishes. Lots of plants, something that looked kind of like meat, and a couple seasonings floated around Allyanna, as well as a knife (with a sheath on), a cutting board, a pot, and a pan. "Do you want something savory? Sour? Salty? Spicy?" Allyanna asked, looking at the ingredients she had pulled and sorting them in a line in the air.
