When he had first arrived here, Clark did not know just how big the island was until he had went simply looking around it one day. He had found perhaps the most obscure but beautiful mountain and every two weeks or so he could go climbing. He had met a young lady at the gathering named Alice and she was nice. He had not yet taken time to meet with her outside of said gathering so he simply had decided to find which apartment was hers and knock on it which was where he was at currently. He hoped that he had the correct apartment as he knocked and awaited an answer of the door. Alice Seraphim

Alice heard the knock on her door and rolled off her double bed. She had been lying back and reading one of her text books as her studies continued. She opened the door and he'd see her in a halter top and little shorts as she'd just been studying. "Oh Hello Clark" she cheerfully said. "How I can help you today?" Once she knew why he was here she could transform her look but when she hadn't work she was ready for anything. She'd met up with Lynn since the party but it was the first time with him. Clark Brown

He was honestly glad that he had the right apartment for if it would have been the wrong one that would be embarrassing not to mention just wild, still he spoke. "Hi Alice," he said politely. "I was going to go mountain climbing today and I thought I would see if you might be interested in joining me. It's not hard or too big of a mountain which might be an understatement but I do not know, I thought it might do us both some good." Alice Seraphim

"Please come in. I've never done mountain climbing so how would I need to dress for it?" she posed. She could put on proper boots and clothes once she knew what she needed for this but it wouldn't be skimpy things this time of year. Perhaps less clothes might be needed in the summer. Then she had another question as she sounded curious. "Just how do you climb a mountain?" This was another new thing to deal with and she'd give it a go just like she did with everything else. She just needed information and answers. Clark Brown

Clark took a second and nodded. "Carefully, that is the only way that I ever know that one should climb it but truthfully slowly and make sure that your body is good at it to make it honestly. A lot of times it's nice just to see the view from different angles of the mountain at least to me anyway." Alice Seraphim

So given Clark's answer she smiled a little and figured out something warm but easy to move in might work better. "I'll get ready now and won't take long" she said. Then added "feel free to get comfortable while I get changed". She emerged from her bedroom a few minutes later wearing army boots, skinny black jeans that looked well worn in, two thin upper layers and these were covered by a red hoodie. She'd put on a woollen hat later. "Will this do?" she posed. Clark Brown

The thing that made him an oddity was not something that he thought about often and he knew that it was because it was not physically seen. Still he was always curious what lenghts someone would go to, none the less he was not going to ask. "Yep you look fine and as long as you are comfortable then I think that everything will easily fall into place while we mountain climb. If we get up there and it becomes too much not that I think it would but just tell me and we can easily go down." He moved out of the way so that they could move and get started walking out. "Have you eaten anything yet? Sometimes I fuel up at the breakfast bar which has more delicious food than the name would leave one to believe." Alice Seraphim

Alice had always found her centre of balance different from other people. She'd found that out the hard way when she tipped over sitting on benches as a very small girl. She'd also find out if that would be a problem when mountain climbing soon enough. She hadn't eaten for quite a while as once she started studying she kept going in her bubble only really stopping for drinks or coffee. So figured his offer was a good one. "I could do with some food before we start. I tend to loose track of time when I'm studying" she replied making sure she'd her key card and small strappy purse with her. Now they were on their way.

He nodded and then spoke. "Alright let's get you some food," he said. "We should be at a small cafe stop soon," he said. "Look Alice I need to apologize if it seemed like I was off at the party. I honestly enjoyed the fact that we got to talk and more than that you seemed truly nice." He just did not do well around a lot of people. "I am a bit of an introvert and it shows the worse at parties but just know that it was not you at all." Alice Seraphim

Clark had an apology to make. The party had seemed a bit wild and Lynn had confirmed that. Perhaps Alice had something to do with that as she kept the drink flowing. Even afterwards was a bit hazy as she'd spent that time with Adam; once things got spicy you can guess what happened. "Clark, things did get a bit wild during the party. Lynn confirmed that when we met up in the university a few days later. You can improve that side of yourself given enough time. Getting better with people at parties takes practice you know" she quietly said and gave him a hug. She wanted him to feel wanted and cared for. Clark Brown

"I am glad that I did not imagine it. I mean I do not know why I would have imagined it but still, and sorry if it was a lot to load on. I am sure that my need to apologize is some hidden childhood trauma that I am currently working through." He had not expected her to hug him though so he stood there a bit more than awkwardly. "Thanks, that really did help." He pointed across a sandy path now. "Food awaits." Alice Seraphim

Alice heard what Clark had to say in response to her hug and she quietly said something in return as the place they'd get food was pointed out. "I did keep the drinks flowing so maybe part of the blame is mine? I'm glad to help in the ways that I can" she quietly said meaning that. The way she'd grown up was so different from others she had little idea how normal families worked. The village had raised Alice if you truely thought about it. That was how she'd figured things out and there were always enough people who had loved her to teach her what she needed to know. "Food sounds good" she added sounding bouncy. Her wings moved to her steps when she was happy in mind. She was feeling hungry by now anyway. Clark Brown

As they finally reached the food destination, he decided to wait and let Alice go ahead of him. He felt it was both the correct and polite thing to do plus he did not mind waiting a little bit. "This place is supposedly known for it's burgers and hot dogs but if you are a vegetarian or vegan they have plenty of options as well. I usually order clams, with a side of broccoli but I literally feel like no matter what you order the world is your oyster." Alice Seraphim

Alice was quite the omnivore being able to tackle anything on the menu. Even the vegan dishes but she had missed on fish in the past. It was a logical choice being on a island to eat more of it. So with a smile she ordered fish goujons with a side salad and potato salad. A simple meal even if she didn't know what the fish was. Then it was Clark's turn to order while the orders in front of them were being prepared. "They do have a good range. I'm trying to eat more fish given I missed out on it before. Either army cooks didn't have the imagination or maybe the alligators ate most of the river fish before it reached a plate. I guess I'll never know" she mused. Clark Brown

It was easy for him to get comfortable in a smaller atmosphere such as this one as he spoke his order. He ordered fries with bacon and cheese and half of a turkey club. He knew it was mostly unhealthy but still he wanted it. "Well I hope that you get to eat all of the fish that you want and I tried to go fishing once. It ended terribly but I am sorry that you do miss out or missed out on so much but at least you are making up for it now." Alice Seraphim
