The knock came at the door. Robert took in a deep breath as he approached the door. It would be the first time he had let someone into his home that wasn't a maid or a business college. He ran his hands through his hair again pushing back the tray strands. He fixed the buttons on his shirts and dusted off his pants. He was in no means in the mood to take in company, but since Dr. Lee had persisted he agreed. His hands touched the door knob and his eyes went to the doors leading to Gaia's room. They were locked. Robert opened the door letting the unknown girl see into his house for the first time. 

He looked down at the girl coldly at first, but his expression warmed as he entered his stage mode. "Welcome Elise." He opened the door all the way so that she could enter his home. "Please come in. We can start our chat in the sitting room." He turned his back to her and started down the wall way leading her to the sitting room. When his back was to her he dropped his smile clearly annoyed having her in his home.

The vines loosened even more letting her body quietly slip onto the floor. She laid there unable to move her body. The floor was cold. She wasn't in her ship. She wanted desperately to see where she was. Or at least move her arms her legs. Nothing. She wasn't able to do anything. She couldn't hear anything, maybe her hearing wasn't back yet either. But she could feel the cold of the floor and the vine that still wrapped itself around her foot. She stopped thinking and focused on what she would hear. Nothing at first. The she heard a piece of the vines break off and land on the floor with a soft thud. So she had her sense of hearing. how long would it be now before she could assess her surroundings.
