"Come with?... all right" she stops moving away and a moment later slwoly started trudging across the ground towards the looming building which seemed even larger then then it ever had before. "This way" she says her eyes did not stare at the woman's scarring, after all... she wasn't exactly a pretty picture herself... she still believed herself a monster of sorts

Thina followed, always a little behind. She wasn't going to get too close. "Do you... know... where is here?" The woman thought the monster was distateful, but who was she to judge: cursed when she was young.

"An island in the middle of the ocean, in a spot known as the bermuda triangle... also known as hell or Feral Lab's testing zone" she was serious ... until she had reached the 'also known as' at which time she became somewhat sarcastic. She grew silent and kept moving though her movement was not fast

Thina was fine with the slow speed being set, her stomach may not agree but she was ignoring that. The creature said she wouldn't eat her, but she wasn't so inclined to believe that. She had seen cats on the streets that would be sweet until you got too close... and then they were cruel and vicious. Dogs were nice, though. This monster reminded her, in many ways of one of those street cats.
None of the names made any sense to her. Well, she knew about the ocean, they were travelling in the cruise ship through it. But Bermuda Triangle....? Whatever that was. "Feral Labs?" Thina thought that sounded familiar.... but it wasn't well known to her. She couldn't quite place where she heard it.

"Feral Labs,... a stupide thing run by a git" she growls a second and then grows quiet and moves into the building turning and heading for the cafeteria stopping to motion that was the room she wanted

Thina stopped walking when she heard the growl, put some more distance between her and the komodo monster. The woman said a short prayer for protection and made the sign of the cross. If anyone was watching... and was religion, they would have noticed it was backwards - nevermind that was how the Greek Orthodox made the sign of the cross.
"Okay," she said, not wanting more of the story and implementing the monster's rage.

Thina wasn't sure. As she passed through the door, the woman watched the komodo carefully. She was almost past when she heard a name. That seemed to surprise her the most. As long as the monster didn't have a name she could stay completely impersonal. Thina stopped, and slowly turned around. The look she gave to Joli was one mingled with sadness, distrust, and disgust. She was unsure, by offering a name, the komodo seemed humanized. Should she offer her own? "Uh...." It wasn't usual for gypsies to openly give their name. "Thina," she mumbled ahd turned to walk to the.
Her jaw dropped almost to the floor. She had never been in anything so.... big. The prestene, whiteness, openness. This was way more than anything she was used to. For a moment, Joli was forgotten.

"Thina..." she nods "nice name" she adds softly and gives a small smile. She could see the emotions and such that was in the woman's face. She stayed quiet the woman seemed pretty distracted

"Epharisto" ((thank you)) Thina mumbled absentmindedly, not noticing she spoke in Greek. The woman was just in shock. She took one step forward, expecting the floor to disappear from under her. No, the ground was still there. Thina took another step, and kept on going until she made it to the buffet line of the cafeteria.
Looking around, she tried to find someone to help her. Customers didn't help themselves in Epirus. There was no one except for the monster... no, the komodo had a name. "Uh, Joli.... someone help here?" She paused, trying to think of the word. "Servitoro? Er, waiter?"

"Waiter? no not here... just take a plate and put whatever you want to eat on it" Joliette stayed back away near the tables "only one lady here I think, and she just cooks" Joliette was curious what the woman would chose, each person she'd met had different tastes... especially once they started changing

Nodding, Thina walked the rest of the distance to the buffet. Her face fell almost immediately. Almost none of the dishes presented there were familiar to her. She ended up grabbing some tomatoes, feta cheese, and olive oil, and putting that on one plate. On another plate, she grabbed lasanga -which reminded her of mousaka- and added a sidedish of assorted steamed vegetables. For dessert, she took baklava -she was surprised it was there. After taking that to a table, Thina went back for a glass which she filled with fanta. Of course, she couldn't read the label, but knew the design as something she recognized.
She went back to her seat and sat down. Still, she eyed Joli with a wariness any human -or prey- would give to something that could eat them, even if they were not trying to at the moment. "Oh, I want to see this cook.... for own food, Elliniki." ((Greek))

"If you can ask for it they usually can make it." She nods and looks up at her. "You are new here right?" she was curious about this but she had a feeling it was true. Her eyes watched the woman for a while

Thina nodded, her mouth full of food. She would remember to come back and see if she can find the cook. How she wanted some tzatziki right now.
"Yes," she said after swallowing, "I arrived recently." Her English was a little better, now that her stomach wasn't distracting her as much.

"How did you come here?" she settles down putting her head on a fore-paw, she was just kinda laying on the floor or so it may seem, she'd long since given up trying sitting in any form
