"Time is going to fly by but even when it does I will still be cautious," he said. Bringing his friend here well he was not even sure that was a good idea but the invite could not be taken back now. "Well how about we say live life to the fullest and worry when we need is that a thing we could say?" David Lightfeather

Going to a new land was an adventure. David had done it, so had Oliver and now his friend. “We can both say that. There are plenty of weird things such as an active volcano, unseasonal winters and even storms before you get to what affects every other nation but we do believe in making things better no matter the obstacles or challenges” David replied. “You really need to see that volcano and when your friend gets here show them that full life and the possibilities of improving yourself”.

He listened but then he heard the word volcano. "Are you serious right now?" he asked as he let out a small laugh. "I mean I seen an ad for it but I did not think it truly existed. Do you know if it is active I do not mind going but if it is active that is a little more caution I would need to take." David Lightfeather

David knew a bit about most sciences and a memory of European flights disrupted because of a volcano erruption in Iceland came to mind. That was known to be active and the ash was suspected to mess up jet engines. “It is active and it is real. The island of ashes is known round here. In fact it was dormant and suddenly came to life. Just because a volcano is active dosen’t mean it’s going to be dangerous. I am a scientist and work in ARI but that dosen’t give me all the answers to questions” he replied. Oliver Dougard

He placed the orders for the drinks and then he nodded. "I get that no one knows all of the answers no matter what they do and your job does not define you. You work but like most people I am assuming when you are not working you just want to enjoy life." He thought that was good. "Everyone has that right." David Lightfeather

“You’re right about that Oliver. I have so much to look forward to these days unlike my time in the UK. Not having to hide your abilities really frees a person up” David replied. Their tea was ordered as Ella woke up and moved round. Being strapped in she couldn’t get out but she did look round as best she could. She also didn’t miss much and looked straight at Oliver. “You should also go to the cove of wonders. We have a real pirate ship that sunk here and you can deep dive to see it up close. So much has happened here though we don’t know much of the details”. Oliver Dougard

He listened as the information was pouring in. "I am making a mental note so that I can pace it out at a pace that I can handle it and not get too much or in my case at the moment too lost but so far I would say everything is starting off okay which I like." David Lightfeather

The island was quite well laid out but it did have plenty to discover off the coast roads and the beaten track. So David suggested as he got out Ella’s bottle of formula “you could start with the tourist map but there are plenty of backroads to take. It’s good to take this at your own pace. Even a baby does that”. One thing Ella never had started on was pacifiers but she did like attention and doing things. So David fed her until the tea arrived. She even partly held the bottle but he kept the angle right. Oliver Dougard

"She seems good with the bottle to be so young." He was clearly going on observations because he had no idea how children progressed. He looked over his drink and then he spoke after a few seconds. "Never a dull day with a little one I am assuming, and I hope the tea is to your liking." David Lightfeather

“It’s never dull with a little child around. They learn everyday and she likes showing what she can do. The tea is good as well” David replied. A baby did change your life completely and it was a huge responsibility to be a parent. “She’s also been very curious all her life and does get on very well with my pet dog” he added and he drank more of his tea. “This could be you someday? Once you feel settled you never know who you could meet. It’s something about this island with a baby boom happening round the same time. My closest co-workers became parents as well. One having twins”. Oliver Dougard

He nodded. "It could be but one step at a time. I imagine that means finding out something that I enjoy doing enough to make a career out of it and then doing that and going on and forth and thinking about family later but it does always give a good picture to look out too." David Lightfeather

David did wonder if this baby boom was no accident but the future did look promising. “Hopefully you will find something you can do here. Then if that works out you might well have that future” he replied. Then he had to check on Ella and wind her. She made happy noises after that and looked over to Oliver. New people always got her attention. Oliver Dougard

He looked down. "Is this because I am new? I could see any child holding a bit of curiosity being around someone that they do not know much but she can rest assured that I am one of the good ones." He had heard that children could tell if you were good or bad and he always wanted to be good. David Lightfeather

David worked in an environment where eyes would be opened about the many differing kind of oddity abilities. So far he hadn't heard about a skill that could tell you if somebody was good or evil. If it existed he figured it would be a power of the mind but Oliver had posed that question. "Babies do tend to be curious. Its how they learn about the world around them but perhaps its because you are new to her. I've had enough of a life to know people are a mix of good and evil. Even the OSE woman in black who spoke to me in the UK was only doing a job the best she could. Very few people are fully evil but that only usually happens when their cause fully consumes them so much they don't care about people" he replied. Meanwhile Ella was drinking from her bottle again her curiosity satisfied for now. "Also good and evil are not genetic things. You can gravitate to either depending on how your life works out. If you treat somebody like a monster they will most likely reject humanity in its forms. A poisonous ideology can also do the same" he added. He knew first hand what that was like but he'd gotten over the betrayal he'd felt once he'd been exposed as an oddity; especially as he'd done so much good for the people he worked with and knew. Now very few even spoke to him. Oliver Dougard

"A lot of it would be based on personal experience yes?" he asked. He knew that a lot of his friends back home would find this not interesting but he did. "I do think that as long as a person finds a good ideology and follows it then they should be okay but sometimes the ideas that we follow are not all good which is what makes it extremely hard."
