"Much better than the last time that we spoke. I know a few more customers and people are starting to call me by my name so that always makes me feel better." No one ever wanted to be referred to as "hey you," at least he hoped that they did not. "Your day going a little less wild today so far?" Alice Seraphim

Alice knew a bit about settling in and it took her a while as well. "It does take a while to get to know people in a big city. I've been in smaller locations before coming here and it was easier to get to know people. In fact I met one of my aunties here not so long ago. She was a mother figure to me as I grew up" she replied with a smile. "I feel completely settled here. Baby twins help that. Today has been easier all the same". Her days were usually busy but today felt manageable. At least until the next major homicide or smuggling ring came along and she felt what resources they had were inadequate. There was no helicopters or patrol boats to even go round the island. Jeeps were fine for moving round inland but smugglers came in from the sea. Nick Mire

He took a minute and nodded. "I have a few family here they might have some kids I'm not sure I should actually check on that," he said. "The good times will certainly always outweigh the bad and that is good. "Spending your day drinking a good drink probably also helps too I do hope that it stays that way." Alice Seraphim

Looking back at Nick she replied “a good coffee does help a lot. My boyfriend works in ARI so we’re both building a better future for them”. She’d never expected any of this while she was a curious girl flying round an army base. Then added “you should check on your family here. If they don’t know you’re here yet it’s also good for you and children are fun but hard work”. She showed Nick some photos of her dark haired babies and it was clear they’d taken after Lucas. “They are Aurora and Ayden. Such good natured babies but Aurora is a wriggler and Ayden is a splasher. They even hold their own bottles now”. She looked like a proud parent with a lot to look forward too. Nick Mire

It was well it sounded like a good life as he listened. "That sounds like a lot of fun and your kids sound like complete opposites which I think might be good. Maybe even after they get older but you know all in all kids end up a lot like their parents and siblings even if they do not see it right away." Alice Seraphim

Alice figured they’d never look anything like her and she was fine with that. “When they get older we’ll know all about it since they’ll be into everything. Ayden seems the most chilled out but Aurora also has the curiousity. She takes that from the both of us but I think they’d both be smart” she replied. She also figured it was time to see how they’d deal with paper and crayons. They were already exploring wooden building blocks together in their playpen. Nick Mire

He nodded. "I think my first real hardcore child memory is this record player thing that my parents thought me and my siblings would get so much joy out of. I think we honestly just ended up hitting one another on the head with it but you have to start somewhere." Alice Seraphim

“It’s a strange thing to do with a record player but I hope you got proper use out of it” Alice chuckled back. Her early memories were something a child should never have to deal with but there was the better ones once she went to the army base. “I didn’t have siblings nor a normal family but when things work out you don’t need them to be conventional. I found one of my aunties recently working in the hospital which was a big surprise” she added. Nick Mire

"One second," he said as he fixed another order and then sighed. "Taking a break," he said as he removed his apron and made his way out. "That sounds cool," he said as he offered his hand out pointing in front of him. "I need to get a few supplies care to walk with me?" Alice Seraphim

A walk to do something unexpected appealed to Alice and she could switch off from police work but not totally. Even when you got of the clock work could still find you. “Alright then. I’ll follow” she replied having nearly finished her caffeine fix already. She also noticed how smooth the staff changeover was as another member of staff took over calling out the orders. Which did make her wonder just how many fake names that mystery child pickpocket was using. “Lead the way Nick” she added. Everybody had different ideas on what supplies were as well. Nick Mire

Though he had not been here that long he was still getting to know his way and considering he picked it up pretty fast he also was hopefully not going to get them lost not that they were going a long way out anyhow. "Okay," he said. Anyone could tell just how not necessarily take charge he was but he was curious. "This island is captivating which is why I am making sure to take it all in." Alice Seraphim

Alice wouldn’t know when Nick was getting lost but she did have a good idea of where she was most of the time. A lot of streets in the modern city looked the same so you depended on landmarks and signs but it was easy to know which direction you were going if you could see the sea. “There is a lot to see round here. So what supplies were you looking for?” she posed. If you couldn’t find it locally you could order it in. Nick Mire

"I have seen that and honestly it's breath taking. As far as my supplies I just need a chainsaw and some lumber I am going to try to get out by the orphanage and build them a few little things to help the woman that runs it with a few surprises here and there. I thought it just might be a good and general idea." Alice Seraphim

Having been out of town on missions she was starting to get to know what resources were available away from the city. Small businesses were springing up to support the building trade and she might be able to point Nick in the right direction. "How much lumber do you think you'll need?" Alice posed adding "the chainsaw and other power tools can be hired locally. There's a builders yard in the old town as well so you'd find new and recycled lumber as well as other materials you'll need". A builder would always find business was good round here given the settlements that were springing up. "Its a good idea. I'm sure of it". Nick Mire

"No idea I figure I will get the form filled out for it and take care of all the delivery bit and then I can start working on it during my off days. I don't know past the basics but I am going to get it done, I guess at times I can be too determined but good to keep the mind busy you know?" Alice Seraphim
