[Action]

[Heart's awakening in Luceti happened sometime around noon today. She woke up behind on of the buildings near the square, and upon awakening the relatively tall robot girl found herself rather... perplexed. For one, she distinctly recalled being told they were going to deactivate her and she clearly was not deactivated if she felt

[Shirley is out and about today, making a trip to the grocery store to pick up some new groceries to ruin trying to make friends with the stove for the household.

On her way to the store, she saw Heart sitting on the bench; now, on her way back, she sees Heart wandering around. The white dress, coupled with the odd silence, points towards her being a New Feather. Meaning, this young woman is probably confused, and possibly frightened. So when they cross paths, Shirley can't help but try and lend a hand.]

Um... hello. [She smiles, trying to seem friendly but probably coming off as more shy, shuffling her bags a bit.] This may seem strange, but -- if I'm not mistaken... you're new here, aren't you?

[prayingone]

They can, if you don't take care of them... but it's not hard, when you get used to it. [Here, her voice turns serious:] But you need to be very careful; if you lose too many feathers, you can get sick... and losing your wings will kill you.

[sixwayheart]

[Sick? Oh that's no good at all. A hand briefly covers her mouth before...] And I don't even have anyone to watch me if it came to that... I might want to avoid it in that case.

[prayingone]

It's best, if you can... but we have a clinic and a pharmacy here, that's open around the clock if you ever get sick. [There's a pause, as Shirley contemplates the best way to show Heart where those buildings would be.] Have you found a book with your name on it, yet?

[sixwayheart]

And here I was hoping for a nice, cute personal nurse... [An over-dramatic sigh later Heart shrugs and then thinks. It's got all of two seconds before-] Oh, yeah. I had on earlier.

[prayingone]

[Shirley sets her bags down, and holds a hand out.]

If you still have it, may I see it? If you do, I can show you the Guide... it has maps of the village and information about Luceti in it.

[sixwayheart]

[Whoa, so helpful. She puts on an apologetic face-] Sorry, sorry. I don't have it on me right now, I left it where I woke up a while ago.

[prayingone]

Ah, that's too bad... [Shirley absently makes a thoughtful noise, as she considers their options; she doesn't want to leave Heart without her journal, considering how important they are to Luceti's day-to-day life.] Well, we could go back and get it... or, if you would rather, I can just show you the Guide using my journal.

[After she says that, Shirley gestures to a small bag (that would probably register as a purse to Heart) that she is wearing over her shoulder; it's the one that Fenimore made her for her birthday, and she uses it to carry her journal with her wherever she goes without fear of the voice option accidentally turning on.]

[sixwayheart]

[Purse- A cute purse, at that. She makes a vague noise of approval but doesn't say anything about it just yet in favor of waiting on Shirley to show her this "Guide." After all, it might be better if she knows what's on the up and up, right?]

[prayingone]

[Taking Heart's silence for agreement on the latter, Shirley reaches into her bag and pulls out her journal. She flips it open to a page she's marked with a bookmark; Raine's Guide. She offers the journal to Heart to read.]

There's a lot to read, but... it's all very important to know.

[sixwayheart]

[And she glances - well looks, I guess - at each page for about... three seconds. She's saving it in her memory so that she might read it later. When she flips through every page she turns back up to Shirley and smiles] Thanks. This is a lot of words and a lot of take in; do you mind if I read it in detail a bit later~? I might need to think about it.

[prayingone]

[Not being a robot, Shirley thinks that Heart is just flipping through the Guide; it's too much to read all at once, so she just nods.]

Of course... you can find it in all of the journals, at around page [blahblah, this is where you find the Guide].

[sixwayheart]

[So helpful. Still, once Shirley's done she shakes her head-] Are you this helpful to everyone you meet, or was it just love at first sight?

[prayingone]

[Love at -- Shirley shakes head, her cheeks pinking.]

Ah, no, it's just -- ... ... I saw you, before. When you were sitting at the bench... and you seemed a little lost when I approached you. [She clasps her hands nervously in front of her chest.] Being a New Feather... it's scary, at first. I just want to help, if I can...

[sixwayheart]

[...Laughing. Okay, that's funny. And that's cute. She can't help but poke Shirley on the cheek as she finishes-] And believe me, you're really reassuring.

[prayingone]

[Derp, cheekpoked.] I... I am?
