Maybe it was because she didn’t talk to very many of the non-normal people, or because she didn’t have hardly any social interactions with others before coming here. Monica wasn’t sure which, but she didn’t understand the awkward laugh that came from Rebecca. It reminded her of the laugh her brother would get when she was younger and would ask him to sneak her into public school with him. She blinked a bit pushing the thought away quickly before it caused her to get upset and lose control again. 

She couldn’t help wondering if she had said something weird though, before asking about the lake. When she said yes Monica smiled even more, it was nice to think she would have some company. Though other than her name Monica knew nothing about Rebecca, it didn’t matter to her, she could find all that out later. [i]Actually that would probably be better, than I might get a friend before she realizes how weird I am![/i] Monica thought to herself almost excitedly, though she train of thought was derailed by Rebecca’s question. “Why would it be any trouble? It’s not like you’re going to like drown me in the lake or something.” She said with a small laugh, though she frowned a little bit, looking down at the ground. 

“Yeah…okay that one sounded weird even to me this time.” She said to herself before sighing, and shaking her head as she looked up at Rebecca, her one hand rubbing up her other arm nervously. “I mean if you don’t want to come you don’t have to, I understand. But you’re more than welcome, the company would be nice.” She said her voice a little bit sadder now as she started slowly started walking again.

Zaniel scuffed a bit at her answer about doing as they were told, but didn’t respond before getting to work. The people that worked the kitchen were assholes and he found it amusing that they went to Persephone to complain about what was needed, yet had nothing to say to him when he brought the harvest to them as she planted more for them. If they wanted it so freaking badly, they should have asked farther ahead.

He sat on the fence with Persephone after digging enough rows that he felt he needed and deserved a break. Giving a small smile back to her as he reached into the cooler beside the fence and grabbed himself a bottle of water, getting a drink of it. The fact that it was mainly quiet with everyone at breakfast was nice, though Persephone didn’t seem to enjoy it as much as he did. Zaniel looked at her as she started talking again. 

“No I hadn’t. I saw people moving around and taking things inside, but didn’t realize it was a bar. I might go check it out tonight.” He answered surprised that they were given a bar in the fact place. Though to be honest he was still surprised by a few other things that went on here at times. “I have to say I didn’t take you for the drinking type Persephone. You really keep surprising me today.” He said looking away from her with a laugh, she always seemed a bit to goody to be one of the types he had seen in the bars back where he had come from.
