A perfect night for exploring, or potentially trespassing. Kuristoph did not know if this land was owned by anyone in particular, but the man he paid to fly him here on a personal aircraft didn't seem to object. It could just be that the man was simply overpaid since Kuristoph didn't quite have a baring on what was a fair rate for services yet. Still, once he saw this particular skyland on his airship ride to Earthstar he had to come.

It had the most beautiful lake that looked so tranquil and peaceful to him. Plus it was abandoned as far as he could tell. It would be the perfect place for him to swim without disturbing anyone.

"Thank you Pim for this blessing," Kuristoph muttered to himself whilst floating on his back in the water. The fact that he is not wearing any clothes, as most Nokken would while in the water, is the main reason he sought this place out.

The other reason was to find a place he was sure not to find another Nokken. Just better to avoid running into anyone he once knew.

"Fruity you said?" Kuristoph asked. "I wouldn't mind drinking it if it were fruity," he added in hushed tones. "Would you drink with me then? It wouldn't be fair if I only had some. It's a," he paused to make air quotes that he saw another do once. "Light drink," he paused again, taking longer than needed to perform the gesture. "So it shouldn't be a problem for you, I guess," he concluded not entirely sure how that worked.

Kuristoph had grown used to fruits. They were wonderful and oh so very rare back home. His people often traded for some fruits and sold for high prices. Some fruits had powerful tastes, while others were very mediocre.

It baffled him how inexpensive fruits were on the surface.

If only he was given permission to return, he could make quite a living gathering fruits and going home to sell them. Especially in the deeper waters.

Angeles nodded when Kuristoph asked about it being fruity. He decided he would try it, and Angeles let nir hand turn to a more resting position. He then asked if ne would drink with him, emphasizing that ne had called it a 'light' drink and shouldn't be a problem for nem. Ne smiled at his assumption.

"I'll drink with you, sure, especially since you're volunteering to be the sober one," ne joked, entirely certain he wouldn't get it. Ne lifted up from the chair and moved it back to its position, looking around for a bit before looking at Kuristoph.

"Do you want to try it now, or rest a bit?" ne indicated that he had sat down on the nest, "or would you like to do something else? Are you hungry? I'm sure they have food on board."

Ne knew that the last time they had eaten was what had been shared between then on the skyland. Ne had been trained to endure rations and dried meat, ne wasn't sure if he was the same though. Ne doubted it. From what ne knew of him so far, ne doubted he was any kind of soldier or survivalist. Just a fisherman with a world of misfortune behind him.

"I'm not tired yet, nor hungry. I had a lot to eat before I went to the skyland. But if you are hungry we can order some food," Kuristoph declared, more concerned with Angeles' well being than his own. "I have more jerky if you don't like Ekahu food," Kuristoph offered, giving nir options.

Although he couldn't imagine a distaste for Ekahu food. But people are unique and sometimes they simply don't like stuff for one reason or another.

...or perhaps Angeles figured the food wasn't authentic like anything else on the gimmick ship.

"Let's see," Kuristoph mouthed looking up in the cubbard where humans normally store things. "Glasses right in here," he announced, pulling out two fancy glasses that were human themed rather than Ekahu. The ship was consistently inconsistent in its theme.

Kuristoph presented the glasses to Angeles in a way that allowed pouring to be easier.

Kuristoph admitted that he wasn't tired or hungry, having eaten before the Skyland but that was still several hours ago. He started that I'd ne was hungry they can order food. Ne had the mind to, part because ne was hungry, and ne suspected that the nokken was declining food or of politeness. He did offer nem more jerky, but if ne was honest, ekahu food was better.

Side from the bottom ne had that it was really human dishes on this ship.

Angeles found and flinches the room service menu and began to look it over, looking to Kuristoph when he announced the funding of the glasses. Nev gilded the menus but brought it with too the sitting area where there was a coffee table they could set everything down on. Kuristoph held the glasses while nevtore the foil from the top and uncorked the bottle with the built in screw. Ne blew lightly on the foam that frothed at the top before putting the glasses so that they were a quarter full each.

Ne Set the bottle on the table, taking and turning a chair sideways so that be could still reach the table without nir wounds being restricted, and took a sip of the drink as ne sat. It was young, but not terrible, and ne leaned to rest nir arm on the back of the chair which was to nir right. Nir sharp eyes looked Kuristoph over for a moment before asking.

"How old are you?" ne wouldn't admit it, but ne was poking around for information, hoping that nir attraction to Kuristoph wasn't one that was too a man not yet is age. Ne already felt a bit wrong about cradling him the entire flight to Renfield.

"Oh, I know this one," Kuristoph exclaimed with excitement, pulling out a journal from his backpack. He turned the pages to the very start, and then flipped in about four pages in. "So I left Clearwater on the twenty-sixth of Echoke Fifty-eight-sixty-four. I was there for five or six months. That means I came to the surface on..." he paused jotting in notes on the first page. "Sometime in Kahaszike, same year. Yesterday was..." he paused, flipping through the pages of his journal to the latest entry, "The twenty-second of Kahaszike Fifty-eight-sixty-five," he stopped, looking at the paper. "Oh. I'm twenty-seven, no. twenty-eight now. And... it's the anniversary of my banishment. Well, maybe. I don't know the day, just the month. I turned twenty-eight last month," He added, beginning to write into his notes on the last page.

If Angeles tried to peer at his notes, she would see a guide written on the front flap of the journal listing the months, how many days each month had, and the name of each of the days in order along with a variety of other useful humanish information for day-to-day guidance.

"So yes, I am twenty-eight. How old are you? Wait, no. Is that rude to ask? No, wait, you said you are not a woman, or technically are. I know in human culture it is rude to ask, is it that way in Valkyrie culture?" he asked, stumbling since he spent so much time trying to keep track of the day-month system.

Before Kuristoph even took a drink, he excitedly declared it was a question he could answer. Rather than just doing so, though, he pulled out a book and began to list of dates and events. Angeles slipped out of nir chair and walked over Kuristoph, standing behind him, looking over his shoulder. Ne saw a note of days and months, and what looked like to be entries. It was a journal of some sort it seemed.

Kuristoph concluded his train of thought by stating that he had turned twenty eight last month, and that this month was the anniversary of his banishment. Angeles looked at him with one sharp eye, taking another drink of the light wine and moved more back towards nir seat.

That was not a good anniversary.

Ne was also surprised to learn that he was nir age. He looked much much younger. Naturally he was the one who brought this up, nir age, then worried I'd it was rude to ask that of a woman, or human women rather, neither of which ne was.

"I'm not offended," ne responded, finishing nir drink and setting it on the table, "and that's more a human thing," ne sighed and looked at the ceiling a bit, "I am...," ne thought for a moment of the exact day and month and year and answered, "twenty seven, my birthday is in Oshuke."

So Kuristoph was actually older than nem by adjust a year, ne was still very surprised by this, but didn't speak up about it.

"Happy belated birthday," ne said a bit somberly, realizing that Kuristoph's entire world had basically been destroyed so slowly after his birthday.

"Thank you," he said with a smile, remembering that he indeed had a drink to try. "I didn't even realize it was my birthday already... keeping up with time on the surface is hard. It seems to just slip by so fast compared to home," he noted, moving his glass to his lips before taking a sip. "Ooh, it is fruity," he noted before drinking the beverage as if it were water rather than alcoholic.

"So we're almost the same age. Lets see, Oshuke," he paused flipping to the front page again to see when that month was in the order. "Three months ago. So I have one year and a couple months on you. That's not very much at all," he declared, mostly trying to get a grasp of the method of keeping track of time a bit better.

It was difficult to find people who were willing to have conversations about simple things. This has caused him to learn about things in a backwards order. While he had no issue with complex matters such as religion in Humanish, simple matters like what day of the week or month it was... were troubling him still. He could even discuss politics to some degree, but it wasn't his favorite subject.

"I'm going to pour another glass, do you want more?" he asked, moving towards the bottle to re-fill his cup. He hadn't even looked at Angeles' glass yet to see if they needed more.

He just sort of assumed.

Kuristoph smiled, and it was genuine, and ne could not find any sorrow in it, and ne smiled back a bit. If he wasn't bothered by it, why should ne be? He talked about how the passage of time was different, and ne pondered and agreed that it would have to be an entirely different way of measuring time from the surface world. Kuristoph then remembered that he had a drink. he sipped it, liked it, then downed it.

Angeles smirked. Ne would love to see Kuristoph drink a few Valkyrie ne knew under the table.

The Nokken calculated their difference in age, though out loud rather than internally like ne had, and asked about pouring nem another drink. Ne scooted it forward so that it would be easy for him to reach, and relaxed again in nir chair. On this stuff it would take nem a while to get drunk, a little less than usual since ne still hadn't really eaten a meal since dinner and it was approaching lunch time, but ne would be able to enjoy a couple more glasses before ne would have to stop.

Ne accepted nir glass back and sipped it again, once more eyeing Kuristoph's cloths and scrunching nir nose. This kind of ship had to have a sort of shop, perhaps it sold 'kuvaren' clothing, at the very least something colorful, ne didn't really care how human it was.

Ne made up nir mind and set nir glass down on the table and reached forward, tapping Kuristoph on the shoulder, "come with me, I want to see if I can get some clean clothes before we reach hakert. I didn't exactly pack for the trip, it will be nice to have something to change into."

Ne was being sly with nir intentions, though ne was being honest as well. Ne stood from nir seat and paused to look at nemself in the large oval mirror, all the bright colors and fancy lace of nir outfit. Ne sighed and lifted a hand, removing the cravat and tossed it onto the dresser below the mirror, before leading the way out of the door.

"Ooh, that sounds wonderful, let's go shop. Maybe I can find clothes that fit better. These pants feel like a prison," Kuristoph declared, getting up and downing his drink before joining Angeles out to see if there was indeed a shop that sold clothing. "And if we're lucky we may find food too," he added as they entered the hall together, one visibly more energetic than the other. Something about new experiences kept Kuristoph's mind off of the past.

It was a decent distraction for him.

"Hey, this looks like a shop," Kuristoph pointed as they entered an area of the ship that looked like a gift shop filled with all sorts of Kuvaren stuff. Well, Kuvaren inspired stuff. Few of it was authentic, but it all looked like it was made by someone who once saw the culture... or read about it in a book once.

"Hello, let me know if I can help you with anything," a human male in flamboyant colors called out from behind the counter while scribbling into a book near the register.

"Okay!" Kuristoph responded with enough enthusiasm to make the man look up at Kuristoph and drop his jaw at the colors. He caught himself staring and returned to his book blushing slightly. "Will these clothes fit you? or are these too human?" Kursitoph inquired, sort of touching every piece of clothing he saw. Well, all of them that weren't blue.

Angeles walked with Kuristoph, who had that same childish enthusiasm about him again that made nem smile a bit. Though this was a cruise liner, the ship itself didn't feel that big, and within no time they had more or less accidentally found the shop. The human man was dressed in colors that Angeles knew were seen as 'feminine' in the human culture, he didn't seem to mind it terribly but it reminded nem of how cruel humans could be if one did not fit their strict gender roles. he seemed to be flustered when he looked up at Kuristoph and Angeles smirked a bit, before paying him no more mind.

Kuristoph turned his attention to nem, asking about a set of clothes and if they would fit nem or not. Ne eyed them, and disregarded any that didn't have either an open back or opening in the back for nir wings. It was very obvious the ship was meant for humans by what was being sold in the shop. But something did catch nir eye that ne would be able to wear: some very traditional-looking Valkyrien casual wear.

Ne gravitated towards them a bit, plucking them off their hanger and holding it up to nemself and looking down. The colors of these were toned down, browns, golds, lighter shades of blues and purples. But ne remembered that Kuristoph couldn't see blues and violets very well, and put them back. Ne selected instead, a red outfit, a gold one, and a brown one. The former two were still rather masculine in color, though they lacked the extravagance of a masculine patter, being only mostly one shade throughout the loose silky clothing.

"I can wear these," ne answered to the nokken at last, looking up to see what it was that had caught his eye, praying to the gods that he would find something colorful to wear.
