Last spark from the ashes

"I'm glad she has the Nexus, then." Adia really needs to stop being surprised at how many people live in the Nexus as opposed to traveling between worlds. It's not like all there is to the Nexus is the Plaza... which reminds her to pay more attention to where Blaze's patrol is leading them. Without the hot chocolate, she's been better at keeping up with her friends, and she still seems unperturbed by the cold. "She sounds like the kind of person this place needs more of."

The compliment makes her smile and shrug modestly. "Well, I'm not scared of them, and I'm not allergic to their sting. I'd have a lot to learn, though." And she'd need some bees and a place to put them. "I'll have to ask Paladin if there are giant flowers that the giant bees pollinate. Otherwise I'm not sure how that works for them." She smiles a little, imagining a giant bee trying to alight on a tiny wildflower. "Are there bees on your Earth, Blaze? Or are they gone, too?"

She automatically nods in a reply, then frowns softly as her thoughts grow more complex than a simple "yes" or "no". "I think I miss everything a horse symbolizes. The freedom, sure, but I miss where I used to ride, and the fact that horses even exist..." She sighs. "It's so barren on my world, Blaze. Nothing grows. The only animals are what we've brought with us."
