[color=SteelBlue]"Still, there are advances in technology here that'll help back home, and that's amazing enough for me."[/color] Rave said, setting his glass back on the table. Akagalcia just stared... disbelief slowly spreading across her face. She had never heard of the wakeful using borrowing to [i]break[/i] someone. She didn't even think it was possible. Everyone was awake in her world. But here Akagalcia was sitting across from the only other wakeful person she'd met since arriving on Frixion Prime. Of course borrowing could be dangerous for the drowsy.

Her expression softened as she had another sip of rice milk. As she set her mug down, their food arrived; Rave's burger and ranchy fries, and Akagalcia's deep bowl of roasted greens and minced meats. It was a mystery for her, every protein and starch and leaf unrecognizable--a cacophony of smells. She scooped a fist of food into one hand, ignoring her silverware, and plucked a single thick leaf between thumb and forefinger. She smelled it, placed it onto her tongue, and began chewing slowly, closing her eyes and drinking in the... life.

Akagalcia hadn't had fresh cooked food since she'd arrived either. No fresh food... in Little Athredan... a burrow which, if nothing else, had a rich dining scene. Akagalcia swayed in her seat, plucking a couple of other bits of food and plopping them between her lips. It was the food, or it was the liquor, or it was the music. She was happy. [i]--Gulp.[/i]

"Everyone here is drowsy, Rave. You're concerned people might look around in my head? I've been worried for days because they [i]can't.[/i] We couldn't borrow one another in my world, only tame beasts... but I've never been around so many people who could talk and cooperate that couldn't think together." <I've never thought this loudly and not been heard by everyone nearby.> She half-opened her eyes, watching Rave with a sleepy smile as she plucked another morsel without looking. [i]--Munch, munch.[/i] <And I'd never consider breaking what's borrowed. That's not nice.>
