“Serix?” She asked trying out the name on her tongue, tilting her head to the side and looking as if she were trying out a food from a different country rather than just testing how strange his name was to say for her, “That’s a weird name.” She leaned back in her seat, saying it again and it still sounded just as weird the second time, “…Serix…..well I guess being from a different planet we would have different kinds of names.” She commented, looking to him, then looked at him when he called Cassie her secondary name, which was funny to her because she had never heard it called that before.

“Secondary name? You mean a nickname?” She said with a small laugh, “Do you even know what a nickname is? It’s just something some close to you calls you. Like...I don’t know, a parent, or a friend, or a boyfriend. That kind of thing. My parents and friends used to call me that. If you had lived on Earth you probably would have had one too. Like Seri. Or Rix. Something like that.” She smiled and reached over to flip some pages in the album again, looking at the pictures fondly, especially those that had her father in them, “Hehe, sometimes my father would even call me Cas-bear. Or Cas-cas. I used to get annoyed by it back then, but now I wouldn’t have cared if he called me that as long as he and my mother were here.” She frowned and sighed, before shrugged and putting a smile on her face, though this one was a smaller one, “I guess you never realize what you have until it’s taken from you.” 

Leaning back in her seat again, she looked out the window, “Hey, look. The rain is starting to let up a little bit. It should be gone pretty soon.” She just hopped it would stay gone for at least a couple of days though. It rained a few times a week in this area, so she guessed she shouldn’t have been surprised when it rained today, but still it was annoying. At least now it was letting up and soon the sun would be out again.

Thinking that, she looked back to him, a curious look on her face ,”What are you going to do once the rain is gone?”
