Zeke couldn't help but smile at his new roommate wanting to see the books, “Of course. Some of them are fragile as they are so old, but you'd be surprised how often humans that live on Earth still use them!” He hopped onto his hoverboard with the ease of one who was well-familiar with the contraption.

Soon, he could feel her tighten her grip around him and he grinned as it lifted off the ground. Sensing two pairs of feet, the hoverboard latched onto them so they didn't simply go flying off. George, too, was flying beside them, ready for speed. The little lizard loved it when Zeke took out the hoverboard as it gave her a chance to show off. “You ready?” With that, he leaned forward and the board took off.

The speed felt incredible. They weaved through buildings expertly, never slowing down. George expertly kept up, stopping only when the pair did in front of the coffee shop. “Well? What do you think? I could probably get you one too, if you like. We can go boarding together!”

Magali looked up just in time to catch that warm smile and returned it with one of her own. “I'll find some way to send money back to them. I will.” Her voice was resolute. If she could get better at art, she could sell her pieces for almost as much as she could sell herself.

“A 24/7 art studio?! This place sounds like Heaven...I've always been more of a night person, so things being open all the time is really neat!” She was practically vibrating with excitement. Her village of Sheshmu was one that operated mostly during the day (save, perhaps, for those that were signed under contract, but most of those resided with those signed to). She'd always been one to stay up late into the night drawing and painting.

“I'm glad I'm here too...You seem really nice, and I think I'm going to like it here!” Her cheeks reddened, “Thank you for....for your hospitality.”
