When the program on a stop mode, Ella could finally act on her own. For a moment she was confused, but she did not ask anything only looking at Nicole before to break the silent. Hmm... I suppose your test is completed... What is the next step?
Nikki smiled, taking Ella's hand, taking her along towards the main living area. "We know everything we need to now honey, now we can just spend some time and relax. I'm a bit curious, though. Is there anything you've encountered that you've wanted to do? Many people get so caught up being in space, sometimes they forget what it's like down on planets." Soon enough they reached the living room, Nicole sitting down and looking to her companion, leaning back and smiling, crossing her legs. She knew she had what she wanted now, and what she had wanted was Ella.
L.O.S.T was standing in front of Nicole. To be honest with you, I was only spending my time in space so euh... something that I like I don't really know what I like or not. I can tell you that I went almost every systems known by humans, but beside that, I did nothing... I think... Being here... will change my life. I know a little about feelings, but I think I feel being loved or something like this. Some say: ''Every meetings are special and are not the fruit of the coincidence.''
She started thinking for a few moments, before finally coming up with an idea. "Hmm. Well, makes me wonder, how many clothes do you have? Perhaps we could go shopping for you, and maybe we'll see something you'll like? Sometimes when I go out shopping, I find something I'd like to do sometime. Maybe you'll get similar inspiration?" She smiled a bit, curious on how she'd react towards it. She felt that understanding an entirely new world of normal life, maybe she'd find some memories or gain inspiration to take control of her own life.
Ella looked at her clothes and looked again at Nicole. I.. don't have anything else... So I suppose we can go. I have these since a long time ago I guess, but I have a question for you though. Do the navy or police will try to harm me? I.. I finally remember something from my past that someone tried to do so...
"No one will try to harm you, I promise you that. You'll just be a regular freelancer in the eyes of the Navy and Police. I suppose my question to you now, when would you like to go out shopping? Is there anything you'd like to do before we go shopping?" Nikki was curious, relaxing once more now that she's done everything she wanted to do to Ella. She wanted to make sure she knew no one would hurt her, that Nikki was protecting her now, and that Ella also had the ability to protect herself with her new upgrades.
Ella had a relieved face and answered Nicole. I... I don't know what I want to do. The woman approached Nicole and knelt down in front of Nicole. Ella looked at Nicole's eyes. You seem more... relaxed than earlier... Is there a reason? You don't need to answer it's just I noticed that. Also, we can leave when you want.
"I'm mostly relaxed because I'm in my comfy chair. When I get stressed I sit here in it and it helps me calm down. It's a special order chair ever since I've had some health problems. We can go shopping if you like, I'd just need to change into something suitable for being outside. It's getting a bit warmer in my favorite region of Manhattan this time of year." She smiled, looking to Ella and smiling warmly, wanting to see how her friend would react.
Ella was curious why Nicole was smiling like this, but she smiled too. Ok then, I will wait you in the hangar then.
On these words, she stood up and began to walk to the door and left the room.
Nicole took some time to get changed and get into some proper clothes. In due time she made her way down to the hangar bay and greeted Ella. "Hey there, ready to go? You'll just have to follow me down and we'll get to shopping~ Find something you like and maybe you'll find something that interests you too." She smiled, looking at her, waiting to see how she'd react.
