With an internal sigh Jera broke off a peice of the sandwhich and handed it to Ein. While normally she wouldn't have given in to the other girls greed she was depressed. Ein's snakes seemed perfectly capable of communicating with each other just not with her and there were still too few on gaia who came from a place that used her native languege. It was a skill she didn't want to lose to disuse but she could find no one to converse with in it.
Taking another bite of her icecream sandwhich she let the cool cream icecream sooth her spirits. She was somewhat aware of the fact that using food to treat emotional stress was bad but she didn't care, for the moment she was letting herself be a child, concerned only about the more base things in life.

Ein let out a small noise of delight at the offering. Well, Unicorn was looking nicer and nicer as person! "Thank you." she said promptly, and popped the bite into her mouth.
Hmmm. Regular ice cream was better. But this could prove to be addictive! Making customary noise of pleasure at the new sight of food, the two snakes wrapped down, tongues rapidly flicking. They were long enough now, and Ein was too happy to care that they looked. Well. Perverted.
"S'good." she said, and then went back to hers.
Ice cream was so so good.
Unicorn was a very quiet person, it seemed. Sidling closer with their new found status as very good friends (who else would offer food?), Ein looked up, concerned.
Anyone who didn't make as much noise as she did was considered ill. "You okay?"

Jera smiled and nodded " Fine just thinking" She replied. Jera had much on her mind and she doubted the other girl would be much conversation on the topic.
Still she supposed she should be more friendly and actually talk to Ein if she wanted to create some sort of bond with the other child. "So what do you do all day now that there's no school?"

Ein shrugged. A very important question, really. "What I can." she said wryly. "Silver works half the time, part time jobs. Ananchel takes after Silver... so I'm usually left alone. TV?" she grinned. "What about you?"

Jera smiled," Like you whatever I want for the most part. Nyx insists I get excerise daily but other tham that my time is my own. Somedays I play video games, usually first person shooter, sometimes I play with thing one and thing two other days I just see what happens when I wake up."
At this point in her life Jera was more than willing to be spontaneous a lot of the time. It had served her well in the past to simply follow her instincts or let life come to her.

"Exercise?" she looked the girl up and down. For a moment, she thought: Well, Silver wanted her to exercise too. Maybe the two of them should go horse back riding, or something!
And then she quickly discarded the thought, deciding that it was much too rude to ask. For now.
"I don't really like the summer." she said, frowning. "Silver's too busy working, and it's not like I have a lot of people to spend time with." At least with school, it was different. "Don't you wish you had more people to spend the day with too?"
The ice cream was melting fast enough that she transferred it to her other hand, licking the streak it worked down her arm. "I've wanted to go to the beach forever." she said, giggling. "But it does atrocious thing to my back."

This child never shuts up Jera thought, and while she is entertaining I have to pity her parents and probably her old teacher. Of course back when she'd been a child as Surisana ,Jera distinctly remembered being full of questions and talking quiet a bit during her need to know everything stage.
"Yes excerise, I walk a lot and swim sometimes, swimmings not easy for me both becuase i'm not that light and becuase this body isn't meant for much more than light swimming though I can splash people very effectively." Jera smiled at the memoryof her leap into the lake that send a rather large wave at Nyx. " I like summer becuasse the wheather is nice and I can be alone, sometimes I like people and sometimes i need to think."

Ein listened intently. She grinned, stifling a giggle at the mention of a beach. "I love it too." she confessed, the way a crack addict might confess their love for... well, crack. It was a guilty confession. "But my snakes hate it. They get so toasted, and even if I put sunblock on, the seawater irritates their skin." she frowned. It didn't hurt her too much- but it did throb when they started to peel, and she hated it when her snakes behaved as if there was something wrong with their environment.
"You can swim?" she beamed. "I can, kind of. But I'm still stuck in the..." she waved her hands towards the upper arms. "You know, the thingies?" Wow. How eloquent.
"You know, we should go to the beach together!" her eyes brightened at the stuff. That was what friends did, wasn't it? And wow... they could be proper friends, with a proper going out and everything!

"Snakes have very sensitive skin so yes summer and the beach can be frustrating for them, plus you have dark coloured hair that attracts the sun, they don't need to bask for heat since yout hair is probably warm all day. Too much heat is probably what upsets them." Jera said, her voice was soft and wistful.
"You wear a life jacket when swimming and don't be embarressed, I would have worn one too if they had any big enough for me. It takes time to learn how to swim I learned quickly but for me it's more staying afloat than swimming.." Jera tried to imagine the energetic Ein forced to dog paddle in a life jack and getting rather annoyed about not getting very far.
Jera pawed at the pavement as she considered Ein's suggestion. "we'd have to get permission first but that might be fun, I could maybe help you swim." She suggested smiling. To hell with it she thought, I want this happy feeling she gives me, I want to go and be free and really enjoy this second chance.

Ein laughed, delighted. Unicorn was so wise! And smart. She knew of course, that snakes had sensitive skin. But that was only because the vet had explained it to her so carefully and frequently. It amazed her to know that other people knew this stuff as well-- she had no choice with the knowledge. B ut Jera? Wow. Her bestest friend was smart too!
"I can imagine." she responded wryly. Maybe being half horse was worth something. Amused, and a little bit curious, she wondered if Jera actually carried people. That would be fun, and interesting to watch too.
"That would be fantastic!" the last word was all but squeed out as Ein nodded her head rapidly. "I know my mom has your number from before, still. I think I can get her to call your mom, and then we can go to the beach!" and she could wear that pretty pink bathing suit Silver had bought her from the shop. It had a little snake squiggled on the butt, and she liked it a lot.

Jera grinned" If we can go I know Nyx will give me extra money so I can buy you another icecream or somethiing there."Jera truly hoped both guardians agreed to the trip, she figured it would be good for everyone involved. Besides the beaches were well patroled they didn't really need adult escorts which would make the trip that much better.
An imagine suddenly popped into her head and Jera couldnt help but laugh " I just imagined your snakes with little floaters on like the size that come on the pool barbies." While Jera had never owned a barbie she had seen comercials for them.

Ein giggled. Well, this girl was certainly delightful, wasn't she? Finishing up her ice cream and licking at the pool that had developed between her index and thumb, she watched her with amused black eyes- and the snakes in her hair seemed to share that amusement.
"That's an idea." she teased. Really, it was. Maybe she should attempt something like that-- the snakes in her hair seemed to enjoy dressing up in her bracelets and her hair ties. Barbie accesories might fit them better.
Ein giggled. "And maybe those little sunglasses too?" she said, mimicking putting on a pair on her own face. That would be adorable!
Ein had many dolls, but she had recently discovered the joy of having two dolls of her own, attached to her head. So what if they couldn't wear shoes? It was just one thing among many.
"Well." Ein said, still smirking. "This will be very very fun." and she looked at the clock that hung on the wall. "When do you have to go home, Jera?" she asked outloud.

" In about twenty minutes" she replied. It shouldn't be too hard to get back by then, she had plenty of energy and speed wasn't really an issue.
"Nope no sunglasses silly, snakes have heat vision you put sunglasses on them and they'll be blind." While she doubted the other girl could actually find working sunglasses that small that would stay on the snakes heads it was an interesting if improbable thought.

"Really?" Increasingly fascinated by everything this other girl had to say, she nodded her head- how amazing! Maybe in the future, she too could know all this. Feeling a little bit guilty too, (they were her snakes after all... wasn't she expected to know more about them then the fact that they liked breakfast cereals for snack?) she nodded her head.
Wow. This was much more knowledge gratifying than she had first thought!
"We should go shopping too!" well, once Silver decided to give her something that remotely resembled an allowance. "You know, I love shopping. And Silver doesn't give me enough money half the time, but that's okay. That's okay, right?"
Subconciously, she was already seeking approval from someone who seemed to know more about life than she did, and so she looked up, beaming. Well, this was all good! Fine. Great!

Jera felt unusually warm and not in a sick way. As she and Ein talked she felt ore and more warmth . It had taken a bit but she recognized it now as pride,. It was not the pride of one who was well known for a special skill or the pride of a job well done.
Ein made her feel smart , wanted and that made her proud. She was mildly disturbed because no one had ever really looked up to her before or used her as an example of good behavior. It wasn’t that she had been bad child just never the best and certainly not worthy of much attention.
Her grey eyes were soft and shone with friendliness as she replied.” That’s fine, half the fun of shopping is just looking at stuff it doesn’t matter if you buy it or not. What sort of things would you like to shop for.?”
