There was something about this world that Ankita enjoyed so much. She couldn't seem to let herself stay cooped up in her trailer for too long before she'd end up getting a case of the jitters and would decide on taking a bit of a walk. Sarava seemed just as anxious and followed her around everywhere she went.
Today was no different. They took their daily walk until Sarava found a nice spot for them to simply bask in the sun.

Barefoot.
It was fun to run barefoot.
It was fun to run barefoot through springly, sproingy green grass.
"YAAAAAAAY!" Wing Ting screamed, running back and forth over the same stretch of grass. It was warm outside, and after breakfast with Lukie and the whole AC shinanigan, she was more than happy to get out and play for a while.

Ankita and Sarava both sat up quickly when they heard the voice in the distance, groaning quietly. They both were in a slight meditative state, becoming attune with the nature around them. Ankita cocked her head to the direction of the voice, trying to figure out who it was.
"... Hello?" She said somewhat quietly. She wanted to know who it was but at the same time, was hoping they wouldn't hear her calling so that she'd be able to go back to her moment of meditation.

Wing Ting stopped running suddenly, glancing over her shoulder. "OHMIGAWD ANKITA! Isn't it pretty outside!? It's absolutely gorgeous!! Hi, Sarava." Wing Ting giggled, running up to the older woman and plopping down - uninvited - beside her. "We're not on Gaia anymore, right? D'you know where we are?"

Ankita jerked back slightly at the sound of the loud voice. Once she finally regained all sense of being, she smiled slightly.
"Hey Wing Ting." There was no real way she'd forget her any time soon. "I think I heard someone say something like... Ellwen... Or something like that in passing. But I'm not really sure. It is beautiful though. There's just something about this place that's really comforting.

Wing Ting nodded eagerly. "The grass is squishy." She said, as if it was the most important thing in the world. "We never have squishy grass at home! What're you up to today? Anything fun? What about magic? Are you doing magic?!" The fresh air and sunshine seemed to have gotten to Wing Ting's head.

She shook her head, laughing at her enthusiasm. "No. Not really. Just relaxing with little Sarava here." Ankita's fingers patted her familiar's head softly, causing her to purr. "And you? Just out having fun?"

Wing Ting paused. Well, there was another reason that she was out, but she couldn't quite remember...
...hmm...
What was it again?
"Err. Well, I was just wandering around, really. I think I was looking for something important, but I forget what it was. I was practicing this morning. I'm getting a bit better, I think, except..." Wing Ting trailed off. "I think maybe I should get someone with more circus-y experience helping me out. I don't know what the audiences will like, once I get on stage."
If I get on stage. Wing Ting added silently.

Ankita sat up a bit and smiled.
"Well, if you really need someone, I'll gladly help." She said, nodding and smiling. "I may not be able to give out directions.. But I can give you some tips if you ever need them."

Wing Ting cocked her head to one side. "That would be cool. But Ankita, how will you give me tips?" She asked carefully. She didn't want to insult her friend, but Wing Ting thought that the question was obvious. Ankita was blind, after all. She couldn't touch the bubbles... Could she?

"There's more to tips than just commenting on the act itself. There's also good ways of preparing for the act, and really tapping into yourself to make sure you give it your all when your show comes." She grinned slightly, "Then there's tips on just how to get by around her when things get a little tough." A smile creped onto her face. "There's tips that can be given on anything and everything that you don't need to really see to give."
"Besides, I've got little Sarava here to help me if you really need some crit too." Sarava looked up, almost appearing to be grinning.

Wing Ting's face brightened. "That's a great idea, Ankita! And of course Sarava can help me!" She shifted from side to side, a little nervous. "And anyway, I was thinking... I mean, I still need to find new ways to blow my bubbles. I was thinking, musical bubbles. Or bubbles people can touch. I dunno how I'd do it, but I could if I tried."

Ankita raised her eyebrow. Musical bubbles weren't something she'd ever come across, and her assumption was that when people actually touched them, they popped. She simpled shrugged.
"Maybe... Maybe you can find some sort of special ...Bubble blowing liquid that's a bit stronger than your usual so that the touching thing might work."
Yeah, I'm sure that made sense to someone.
"I'm not really familiar with anything that would really help, but I'd gladly help you find things." she nodded, smiling.

Wing Ting's eyes widened in understanding. "Ooh. Ooooh. I get it." At Ankita's next comment, Wing Ting said, "It would be relatively easy to synthesize a new formula, provided I could isolate the bubble's molecular blueprint. Particularly dexterity."
And then Wing Ting sneezed.

There was complete silence coming from both Ankita and Sarava. Shwiggity shwa?, Ankita thought to herself. She ran what was stated over in her mind a few times before she really got what was said.
"Uh. Yes. .... That." Ankita coughed quietly.
