He led her out the door and down the hallway ''There are the lakes and then the forest, which is a natural reserve'' he said leading them on. A few minutes later they stepped outside. They were nearly surrounded by hedge and roses, a few tress scattered here and there gave cover and a small stream marked the middle of the garden. ''Take a wander?'' he said leading the way.

''There are four of them'' He said passing an old oak tree, ''they had to be altered slightly over the years, erosion problems I think, but they are mostly the same. Come, what say you about the house thus far?''
- I like it. It looks somewhat intimidating, but the interior is very lovely. It's very spacious, too. Everything here is very spacious. It's a little unsettling, but I think I will manage.

I personally think it's better. Hm. - she emitted at the end, smiling a little. - I'm sorry, John. I have a tendency to digress. They're a little cramped, as I said. But the conditions onboard are good. And yes... Yes, I'd love to live on Gaia one day. Although in a more temperate area. Maybe even almost at the poles. The equatorial forests are way too warm and humid for my taste.
