That was the second surprise coming after the first. She didn't guess that anyone else could hear it. Although on retrospect, she wondered why not.
"The answer to both is the same." she replied, blinking at the words again. "I'm sorry it's bothering you, I'm not sure she realized others could hear besides me. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure she knows I can hear her."
Realizing she was rambling, she sighed. "Sorry again. I'm not being very clear-spoken, am I? Anyway, I don't think that Shiva is feeling well right now. She's been in her room for a few days, and not talking to anyone. i don't know what the humming is, but it feels like it's from her. A small, thrumming almost. I wish I knew what to tell you, kiddo. I can ask her if she knows its bothering you."

Nika was surprised. He hadn't expected the noise to be coming from someone. He'd thought it had been coming from something. What could be wrong with Shiva?
It's not bothering me, I was just curious. Where is she?
He couldn't help feeling a little worried. It didn't look like Chae knew what to do... and if Shiva was making that noise something was probably wrong. He wasn't even sure if he knew what to do, but he knew that he could try and help.

She pointed to a closed door. "She is in her room." she shrugged "I am not sure she will see you, but you can try."

Nika looked at the door and nodded at Chae, 'Thank you.'
He went to door and knocked softly, opening it and walking in. He smiled at the black haired girl and waved.
'Hello, Shiva.' he started, not too sure what else to say, 'It's nice out... and quiet.'
Nika moved closer to her and smiled brightly.

Shiva blinked, surprised someone was there. Why had Chae let someone in? Didn't she realized by now that Shiva wanted to be alone?
Hello, Nika. She greeted, geting to her feet and bowing politely. It would be rude to do otherwise. Would you like to sit down? I can see the sun rise in the window here, and set in the one opposite. This room is just situated in the right corner angle to do both. You can see the gardens from here too.

Nika could tell that Shiva wanted to be alone, but stubbornly he refused to leave. Not until she actually told him to.
He was surprised when she bowed. She didn't have to bow. Maybe she thought it was the polite thing to do?
He nodded and sat down, pleased that she hadn't told him to leave yet. He looked out the windows. She was right. The room was in just the right spot for him to be able to see almost everything.
'Wow... I can only see the forest from my room. The trees are so thick there that it's rare if I see anything but leaves.'

kaliskanny Galilee had noticed the woman had stopped. He stopped and looked at her, then held a finger up to mean 'quiet'. He glances at Kasai and Fauve, then settled in step with Zahar. So...what were you doing before yo came out here...to walk with us?

Leaves are nice to look at too. she said. Chaeval was telling me hat where she lives, the leaves change color with the seasons, and turn all different colors. Red, Orange, yellow, and some stay green. I've seen pictures. It's really pretty then.

Nika nodded, 'Gee's got some books filled with pictures like that. My favorite were the Winter, I believe it's called, pictures. They are beautiful. With snow. I'd like to play in the snow.'

I wonder what the seasons are like here. she said.I mean, are here even seasons here at all? It always looks the same. Except now for the garden Chae and I put in the back. We can see the flowers beginning to come out. Did you see them there?She pointed to the sunrise window. Chae said she'd like to plant a small maze out there for us to walk in and meditate. Her eyes crinkled slightly at the thought Not a maze to get lost in though.

Nika shrugged and leaned against the wall, looking out the window.
'I'm not sure if there are seasons here. I haven't been around long enough. The garden looks great. Getting lost in the maze wouldn't be too bad,' he winked at her.
'But the meditating sounds nice.'

Chae said it's a maze to find yourself. She shrugged. She has funny ideas sometimes. Apparently people used to walk around them and think about a problem. They'd follow the path at their feet around and around until the path led out. There were no dead ends or ways to get stuck, it was just a winding back and forth path. I wonder why they didn't just go out for a stroll or something. she shrugged with a pensive frown. But Im talking too much. Was there something you wanted?

He listened ausedly to her speak. He realised with a smile that he liked listening to her talk. Shiva seemed to know a lot about many things.
He shrugged, 'I wanted to see if you were alright.' Nika looked sideways at her, wondering if he should go on.
'There was a strange humming noise coming from your house. Your gaurdian said she was worried about you...'

She blinked at him, disconcerted. It looked exactly the way Chae had reacted earlier. Her eyes turned at their corners, not in a smile this time, and she tugged on her pony-tail.
I forgot about that for a little bit. she said worridly. Im fine. I just think I shouldn't go outside, is all.

Nika sighed, not really regretting that he'd told her why he was there. Atleast he'd been honest.
He smiled at her, not paying close attention to the look on her face, and wandered over to the sunrise window. He paused before turning around.
'Then we can stay inside. Wanna play a game?'
