"[color=00a651]Must be nice to have siblings, even if they are quite different from you. I don't know of any other daughters of Jagannath, and father only had sons once a long time ago.[/color]" A thought of speaking more on that was briefly entertained, but the slight hint of a frown formed on the corners of her lips and she wiped it away before giving it a chance to fester. It would not do to dwell on such things, especially when tonight was a night of welcoming and celebrating new friendships. She would answer the question at the very least though. "[color=00a651]Father is father, of course, and my mother left when I was young to be with him in the stars. The people of my village raised me and taught me much of what I know, so they are pretty much my family.[/color]"

Devi also thought of home, out in the few remaining wilds of her quickly developing home country, and even of the city life within nearby Calcutta. "[color=00a651]Yes, I miss my home as well. It's not quite as warm here and there's so much built up. Still have the gentle sounds of nature to listen to every now and then, but it's not the same.[/color]" At least Hayley returned to them to allow her a distraction from such thoughts, the homesickness starting to get to her though she tried her best not to show it.

A good long look over the girl was all she needed to give her own approval, admiring the way the dress sat on her figure and how she elected not to use any makeup. "[color=00a651]Cute is the word, for sure.[/color]" She said in agreement, giving Hayley a bright and warm smile to encourage her. "[color=00a651]Natural beauty is the best kind, and with just a little smile yours will shine on the dance floor.[/color]"
