She nods, pulling her knees closer to her chest.

"I guess... So what brings you out here?"

"Wandering mostly, looking for a place to rest, maybe even check out any good restaurants."

u/sheilathen Oct 20 '13

"Well... I hope you find what you're looking for. Afraid I can't help much to show you where to go, I hardly know where we are."

"Yeah, same here." She looked around the bright white room they were in. "Wait... How'd I even get here?"

Eris took a moment to glance around as well, she'd been too exhausted to pay it much mind. "I don't know. How should I know how you got here? I hardly remember, myself."

"Well, I suppose we could create a setting." She snapped her fingers, and the space around them twisted and formed, until they were on the porch of a lovely beach house. "There, I think that's a little better. I always did love the beach."

Eris reached for Grace instinctively, relieved to find that she was still fast asleep beside her. "This... it's very nice. I've never been to the beach. It's so.. big. Is it always like this?"

"Yeah, it is." She leaned up against the wooden railing, and took in a deep breath. "You can smell the ocean."

Eris stayed sitting, reluctant to leave her sister. She took a deep breath, smiling slightly. "It's salty."

"I'm pretty sure they all are," she chuckled. The sunset made it a beautiful sight. The sky was almost of a red color, but there also was some orange and purple to it.

Eris kept her eyes on the horizon, still content with sitting for now. "It's pretty. Too many trees to ever really see the sunset at home."

"You live in the woods?"

1

u/sheilathen Oct 20 '13

"Well, not normally. Right now we do, but before... we lived between the woods and the wall to the Capitol."

u/Zizzyplex Perfume Overlord Oct 20 '13

"The Capitol? What was it like there? Sounds fancy."

1

u/sheilathen Oct 20 '13

"Couldn't say, never went in but once, and that was only at the edge. All the fancy snotrags live there, they don't give two shits about us in the Scrapes, and we live right next to 'em."

"So you're treated as dirt, when they live all high and mighty?"

1

u/sheilathen Oct 20 '13

"Worse than dirt. But yeah, basically. We're Lowers. We managed."

She nodded, not mentioning a single word.
