Much to Faye's surprise, the teenager that came with Michael was more talkative than Faye herself assumed he would be. As he began telling a short story, Faye listened to him intently and in silence, paying close attention in his words. When he finished, mentioning that he had many stories to tell, Faye opened a mischievous, but amused smile as he conjured a hand drum and began dancing away.

[color=f26522]"He is very interesting. In a way most people... most humans rarely are. In a way, he is similar to some of the Faes I met when I was a child."[/color] she said, looking to Michael with a mischievous smile as he mentioned that he was 'mostly' harmless.

Turning her attention towards the Dwarf woman, the way she reacted to Faye's request did tell her that she made the correct choice in holding herself back a bit. Still, it was a bit disappointing for her that there wouldn't be a hug. Especially with how adorable she was, which was an undeniable fact, no matter what she said.

[color=f26522]"Oh no! I didn't mean to call you a child or anything. It's just that you're so cute that I really want to hug you!"[/color] Faye said with a giggle.

[color=f26522]"Well... A handshake will suffice for now!"[/color] Faye said with a smile as she shook Astfridur's hand. The last part of Faye's reply was probably a bad omen of what could happen if Astfridur indeed ended up letting Faye pamper her.

Amanda's replies to Faye and everyone else's questions were truly interesting but unfortunately for Amanda herself, they only made Faye think about even more questions. That said, she tried to hold her curiosity at least for now as Amanda was answering the ones she had already made. While the fact that she didn't eat wasn't much of a surprise, it still made Faye think about how terrible it could be to never have eaten chocolate dipped strawberies, chocolate cakes or other sweets. Even though Amanda mentioned that there was no zero gravity inside of the spaceships, knowing that the people who worked there could indeed experience zero gravity when going outside and most importantly, having Amanda's confirmation that it was indeed fun did open a smile on Faye's face though.

[color=f26522]"Zero gravity is the best thing about space! I don't understand why someone would want to go there just to feel as if they were on Earth. Still, it's not that bad, since you can go outside. Talking about it, it is really as fun as I assumed it would be then!"[/color] she said excitedly.

[color=f26522]"Disassembling yourself does sound a little bit scary when you mention it like that... Still, with the amount of cool stuff one might me able to do with it, being a bit scary wouldn't matter that much... As long as it doesn't hurt of course. Which it doesn't... right?"[/color] Faye replied, giving a bit more thought on how Amanda worded the fact that she could change 'parts'.

Faye's small 'investigation' of the other members did yield some results though. Ullross, whom Faye had talked with just a bit ago regarding the 'thing' he had on him mentioned that it was 'Dave' as he called. While Faye wasn't much surprised by how he described it as a 'parasite', the moment he mentioned that he appeared after the leviathan died did make her give a step back, a bit alarmed.

[color=f26522]"That's why I had such a bad feeling coming from it. It's weak... but it's definitely not a good thing if it came from the leviathan."[/color] Faye mentioned to Ullross before she trailed away again.

Faye knew very well how rude her reaction was, especially after the man, whom introduced himself as Sigmundr, explained his circumstances and why she felt such power inside him. That said, she simply couldn't avoid reacting the way she did. Not only feeling that magic again made her think about the terrible experience she went through in the day of The Shattering, but the nature of that magic itself affected Faye's own magic. Even though the initial shock was already passing, anyone could see that it still would take her a bit more to recover her composure and go back to her bright, happy self.

[color=f26522]"I-I will be fine. I'm sorry... It's just..."[/color] Faye said to Amanda when she got closer to her, asking if she was okay.

[color=f26522]"I was just a bit... surprised. That is all... I'm sorry for being rude, Sigmundr."[/color] she said, with a small apologetic bow towards Sigmundr, even though she still seemed to be a bit unmfortable.

[color=f26522]"Even though the fragment's magic isn't particularly intense, being so close to it is enough to make very uncomfortable and to make me remember what I felt on the day of The Shattering..."[/color] Faye said with a short explanation to Sigmundr, before turning to Amanda.

[color=f26522]"My... abilities? Sure. If you have any questions, you can ask me."[/color] She said to Amanda. Having walked away from Sigmundr made her feel a bit better, but she was still somewhat uncomfortable. As she had said herself, while not unbearable, it would still take her some time to get used to it.
