"Well, I think you will find school here something between homeschooling and public school. Not too many kids here your age, and everyone is on their own level besides, coming from so many different places. There are a number of kids just a little older than you from Paris, a boy a little younger than you with ears like an elf in a fantasy painting, a few others perhaps. But not many. So you will probably only have one or two students in your class with you."

A boy from Paris, that sounded interesting albeit not quite as much as the younger bloke with elven features. Both were likely very interesting people. She would have to talk to them to try and fit in.

"Certainly a rather small classroom, that." Which would definitely be a reminder to her home schooling as she had been the only student at that time. "I suppose, though, that it means individual aid is likely to be rather easy in a classroom that little."

After a beat, she added: "Are there many persons here whom are very different? Like, with the elven sort of features and such?"

"While the majority here seem to be more or less human, there are a number of people who are not. And even among the humans it seems as though there are many variations on earth itself. It is a rather odd place," she said with a small thoughtful frown. "But then there are reasons I generally choose to have my diner here at the fringe of the city rather than opening one in the heart of it."

[waterfield]

Aliens, then. At least alien or foreign to herself. She shifted and nodded. She could get used to it, slowly, supposing they weren't trying to kill her or assimilate her in some manner or another. Victoria raised her brows at the last sentence though.

"What reasons might those be..."

[memories_of_me]

She had been hoping Victoria would leave it at the implication.

"Among other reasons, to deal with new or odd people in small doses." Thatw as dancing all over between the border of truth and lie without quite being either.

[waterfield]

Curiosity killed the cat and in this case, it was setting its sights on Victoria, it seemed. Her curiosity got her in trouble often.

"Oh," so she didn't really want to deal with ... people. Placing a diner at the edge of the city would make sense in that case. But Maddie had always seemed so friendly, why didn't she want to be among the people? Perhaps she was just more solitary than Victoria thought. After all, she liked her privacy, too. "I suppose that makes sense then, yes. Do you get many people here at all being so far from the city's heart?"

[memories_of_me]

"Not too many," she said with a small chuckle. "Enough to be as social as I care to be without having too many things to absorb at once. As I said previously, not all people here are what you might expect. Time to myself between is restful." As she almost never had anyone in, she was as or more social than she cared to be. The you there meant Victoria, not a general you including herself, she was long past being overly surprised. Rusty was the last cargo on that boat, she suspected. And time to herself was often restful indeed.

Taken separately, not a lie in that whole batch.

sorry again. :x ♥

"I suppose that makes this place rather quiet, then. Which is unlike the diners that I recall but also quite nice if one thinks about it, honestly. After all, one could get a lot of reading done if one sat in a quiet, cozy diner such as this." Away from the demands of home and the like, sitting alone in a booth with a nice milkshake, or tea, and a good book. Yes! It sounded rather perfect to her.

"Some people are more difficult to deal with than others, yes, quite right. I imagine that I'll sort that out for myself sooner or later."

Never have to worry about it with me, or Me.
