Alice looked back at Xander once she heard what he said about the Nottingham's in general. It took all sorts to make a world but even this sounded strange. She looked surprised as she answered in the process of breaking up her muffin. "I promise I will be careful but perhaps Mallory is the normal one?" An answer and a question in one as she'd only dealt with two of them so far. Then came another simpler question. "I can handle most things and I've got no allergies. Just as well given all those years of army food I'd to deal with" she posed knowing full well how weird the isle could get. Even if she hadn't seen it in person she heard tales. Given she didn't know where they were going her sandals might be the best bet today. There seemed no need to change what she was wearing. Xander Dayspring

"Maybe, I mean my brother is here and he can grow wings and do all sorts of strange animal stuff so I really have no room to talk but it is a fun thought in the end. I figure everyone will say something about whomever so in the end it is our choice." He tried to be the best version of himself but he knew that he failed as well. "Alright, well that is good to know," he said as he drunk his coffee and ate his muffin. "It's exciting right? Knowing that fun lies ahead?" Alice Seraphim

"Your brother sounds interesting. Everybody can bring different skills to the community. I don't know if I've any family but its possible" Alice mused. It would be an interesting comparison if they ever got together as they did have flight in common. She also had a idle thought about who could win an air race as well. Alice did wonder if her flight ability or other skills were more useful but that could change depending on the situation at hand. She tended to us her brain more than abilities in her job.
"Yes it is" she added drinking more coffee and consuming some of her muffin. "It's probally more fun if its a surprise. So when do we leave?" she added sounding cheerful.

"I think that since he is my sibling I always feel like I need to give him a hard time but the truth is that he is okay. I think now that we are adults the only thing that we can get along about now is his wife. She is a good one." He took a second. "I think as long as we leave in about fifteen minutes everything that I have set up should fall right on time." Alice Seraphim

Alice had no experiences of a normal family. So couldn't relate to the way Xander was talking about his brother. She could relate to the way her 'aunties' got on. They were the team of army nurses who helped raise her and it wasn't always smooth sailing with them. "I hadn't any normal family but I did have the nurses who looked after me. It felt they were aunties who I could ask anything off" she mused and then smiled. "I'll get some sandals on before we leave and I'll be good to go" she added. There would be enough time to finish her breakfast and coffee, get cleared up and find her shoes. Xander Dayspring

"That's still family. I mean they aren't blood related but they still cared enough about you to make sure that you had all the essentials and all the feelings of love and sometimes that is what makes family and sure you're fine take your time." Xander never rushed anyone for life was too fast all on it's own. Alice Seraphim

Alice figured without her Aunties she would have been a very different person to whom she was now. She'd every right to be angry to humanity in general given her past but she was a productive member of the island society at least. Away from here she'd been seen as dangerous and a lab specimen by most; certainly not as a human or even loved. Hate would have been her lot. So after breakfast she smiled broadly, got on her sandals and brushed her teeth. Then with her strappy purse in hand she was ready to go. Xander Dayspring

He was not the type to plan anything but his brother had always told him that if you wanted to be a good friend then you needed to show people that and let them know it. So he had planned for them to, well wait. "Alice, can you swim?" he asked. He had thought about it but they could still do mostly what they wanted if she could not swim. "Just with the wings and such I was wondering about it." Alice Seraphim

Alice hadn't learned to swim until she came to the island. There was no facilities like that were she grew up but while she was figuring her way out of the rabbit hole she did learn; once she used to the idea wings were an issue but she'd figured a way round it. "If we are swimming I'll need a bikini and towel" she posed figuring she couldn't just do it in her underwear. "And I can swim Xander. I learned when I first got to the island in the period before I became a useful member of society. My wings don't cause a problem; there's birds who can dive and swim a little when they're hunting for food. I can go deeper like most other people who can swim". She smiled a little wondering when he was going to tell her water was involved. It would have been awkward if she hadn't what she needed for the activity. She was surprised nobody had asked that question before given everything else had been tested about her capabilities and recorded over the years in that gilded cage. Xander Dayspring

"Okay, well go grab what you need. I found out about this really cool activity but it does involve swimming in the water so it's better to be prepared than not," he said. He would grab some trunks along the way for himself. "I don't think I quite ruined the surprise but we will see once we get there." He hoped that he had not at least. Alice Seraphim

So Alice grabbed a sports bag and picked out a red bikini and a towel. She felt that was everything she needed but it was still a surprise; the only difference being she knew it involved water and swimming. "I'm ready and its still a surprise" she replied extra bag in hand. Now they just had to get there. Xander Dayspring

He was excited and it was true that most of his excitement stemmed from the fact that he himself had not did it before. Once him and Alice had left it did not take him long to get to where they needed, just a little bit on the west side of the island where he seen the guy and waved. "Alice this is Irvin, he helps people who are going diving in the islands with penguins so today he will be helping us." Alice Seraphim

Diving was something she'd heard about but never done. Her swimming lessons were in a pool but it wasn't her first time in the sea. Then it was just swimming but this had a purpose. "Hello Irvin. So when do we start?" she asked him cheerfully before looking back to Xander. She had no idea of the time frame after all. Xander Dayspring

He knew that his thrive for adventure would one day lead him to somewhere , where he could explore it and this was now. "I was thinking after our first adventure out that it would be nice to do something in the day and then at the night again a bit down the road and the idea of this was the best that I could come up with. I think that for the most part penguins are friendly so I hope i am not wrong." "About five minutes, and i think they do it in hour long sessions but you take a twenty minute break in between so that your body does not over collapse and a person passes out." Alice Seraphim

"That sounds good to me guys" she mused. She didn't know about penguins either so it was a chance she was taking too. So with a time frame sorted for the first activity Alice smiled then thanked the guy before she got changed in the supplied facilities. So before they were about to start she emerged in this simple red bikini and flittered over to where they'd start. She liked keeping in practice after all given she split her working day between crime scenes, a desk and a jeep. Xander Dayspring
