- Andromeda -
Andromeda liked that "alive" she whispered, she smiled unconciously "it's better then my name, depending on how you look at it i as named after either a bush or a greek sacrifice, who was, ironically, saved by the man who killed Medusa" she chuckled at that, as she had many times. "Zonon Borshenk ... that's a russian name, right?"
she listened to the ingredients with an amused smile "interesting, certainly a unique combination, for me at least" she laughed "but i'm no expert, the cook would let me watch sometimes but i really can't cook anything that doesn't come in a box" she laughed again with a big smile.
Andromeda liked how he described hair as weird "i like that, snakes are weird too"

- Oona -
Oona quite liked the feel of someone playing with her hair, last time anyone had done it was when her mom was getting her ready for a party, she couldn't quite remember what the party was for, one of her brother's birthday's, she thinks. it was nice.
"um" she tried to think of something that would make sense to the girl "i don't get compliments very often, i'm not normally around people who ... want to compliment me, i sort of take my hair as a matter of pride because ... well it's hard to explain" she let out a weak little chuckle.
then Garden started talking to a flower of some kind, which Oona knew she shouldn't be surprised by knowing how many weird things existed at their school but she still was, it was interesting, she didn't interrupt the conversation. she smiled at Garden and turned away again so the girl could get at her hair.
then she was done, Oona wished it had taken a little longer but she was quite impressed when she saw it. even she admitted that she looked quite pretty.
in a moment of weakness she threw her arms around Garden "Thank you" then she blushed and pulled back "sorry"

she looked up when she heard the voice calling them to the lounge "do you want to come with me Garden?"

- Alistair -
Alistair chuckled slightly at Cyber's little nod when he said humans were weird.
he liked the feel of her hand holding his, he wasn't sure why, it felt strong, and a touch masculine, that inkling in his brain reared it's ugly head again and Alistair suppressed it.
then Cyber let go, they were on the beach, she took off her shoes and was standing in the waves. he wanted to go closer but ... water didn't like his kind, so he kept his distance, watching her as she began to speak 
"nothing here seems real to me" he said. he took a step or 2 closer, so he was just beyond the reach of the tide and leaned forward to take her hand "i was born in a swamp, it's all i knew, my life was the thistles and nettles and asper pods, my brothers and sisters, our friends, i never imagined there'd be a body of water so vast i couldn't even see the other shore, it's surreal, like a dream, like i'll wake up and my mother will give some disgusting nettle tea because she thinks i'm sick because i speak of dreams of oceans, and i'll go back to being carefree" he smiled at her, but it was a melancholy smile to match her own. then he looked forward, away from her "it is a nice view"
then he heard a loud voice calling 'all of athalia' to the lounge area. he dropped his hand "i believe that's you, you should go see what they want"
