Jinthe looked up to see Eero nearby. The strange earthen man, that’s who he was; she hummed a bit to herself. “Hello,” she said simply. She could gather he wasn’t much of a talker, at least from what she had seen of him. She didn’t think she had ever heard a word out of his mouth. “It’s a lovely day.” She then went back to silently sunning herself. She even closed her eyes again, completely at ease even in the presence of Eero. She wasn’t going to push him. He should just be able to enjoy himself. Do what he was there to do. They didn’t know each other, after all. Why should she try to bother him?

“It started under neon lights, & then it all got dark!”
