"Why did you take so long?" Katherine asked incoming ones impatiently.
"Excuse us. It turned out that Jess was not very punctual," Lucinda answered.
"I apologized!" Jess stirred, "It flew out of my head."
"I'm glad you came too, Alex," Katherine noted the latter, which just nodded.
Katherine had decided to spend a pajama party in her apartment after a working day to have fun with her new friends. They drank tea, joked a lot, played charades. Katherine's activity, of course, prevented her from holding on to the heading for a long time, while Alex lasted longer than all the others together: she shows too little emotion.
Soon they sat around under a subdued light. Most likely, they were gossiping. Alex decided to just lie down on the bed, so she did not really take part.
"It's good to have some fun after a hard day," Lucinda confessed, gathering Jess's hair in a bun.
"Agree! Frankly, you have my first friends here," Katherine added.
"It is a very large and active metropolis. There is a completely different life. You have to go with her life in the leg. Why did you come here?"
"There was boring in my village, and deaf. I myself have been fascinated with all sorts of mechanisms since my childhood. I disassembled all sorts of robots that were coming into my yard. They, like cockroaches, terrorized our village, so we went to them all neighborhoods. I thought that here I could demonstrate myself in full. Here, I already found friends," she laughed, "Hey, Jess! And you? Where did you learn to shoot like this?"
"I..." she hesitated, "I'm just from a hunter's family. My father taught me a lot. Although I feel embarrassed sometimes that others think such activities are not for such young ones."
"It's all right," Lucinda interjected, "You have to strive to do what you like or have the ability to do. You can help someone like that."
"If I had not been so absent-minded."
"You're already brave, since you came here. there is already feeling the vein of a hunter. Your eyes are rather rare."
She was right. Her pale pink eyes stood out well.
"Hmm, and if I admit, sometimes I feel the same way," Lucinda said, "Many people are surprised that such a young lady has risen to an officer. Although some things are not yet given to me. But I will try my best. At least, so that the horror that those aliens brought, did not happen again," she froze for a while.
"You are working with hair so well..." Katherine tried to change the subject, then she turned sideways, "Maybe you can join us, Alex?"
They did not get the answer.
"Apparently she's already fallen asleep," Jess noticed, "Then we will not disturb her."
Alex was turned to the wall, which she simply looked at without doing anything. She seemed to think about something.
