"I can understand why it wasn't a good place to live in" she mused as she seen penguins now swim beside her. Perhaps they were curious about her wings as they paid her close attention. "If there was more death than normal was there violent crime?" she posed as she let her wings out so she'd float for a while. A case she was dealing with right now and still had to get to the bottom off might well lead to more deaths eventually. If gangs were getting a foothold here she had a horrible thought that the OSE fleet wasn't stopping those ships; the ones with drugs and guns along with potential people trafficking. Problems that had to be solved with their own resources. Xander Dayspring

He took a second to allow himself to float as he took a minute and thought about it. "I find that violent crimes did come up but it usually traced back to someone wanting revenge for something small. I do not know what could possibly make a person snap like that but at the same time I have heard of it happening and it's a bit scary, did someone try to do something like that to you?"

Xander floated with her and answered her question. Now she had to think about the what he'd said as well as the new question he'd posed. "That sounds like people just being people when the dark side takes over. I'm not a head shrinker or a scientist but that's the way the species has been since day one. I certainly know I could and do get jealous or angry along with everything else but I mainly keep calm and think things through. It wasn't specific things like that but more general neglect and hate when I wasn't being a part time lab rat from seven onwards. I knew more once I got into my teens as the CIA had left me in army care for a reason. Mainly to observe how I grew up and dealt with others mentally and how I developed physically. They only came into the story from time to time for tests. I'd seen other children when I was five or six in the other lab but I don't know what happened to them. Some where older as Lucy was round ten, Lucien was my age and so was Sam. A few I only seen once or twice but didn't know much about them. It's obvious now that they'd been doing this from 1993 onwards but nobody knew about me offically until OSE took over my case when I was sixteen and army care ended". She hadn't an even vaguely normal way of growing up but she did learn at lot at the army base just like scientists learned from her. Part of the reason she was doing what she was now as she didn't want to see another child in that situation of she could help it. Xander Dayspring

"It is," he said. He liked having or being able to learn about people. He thought it made you a better friend if you knew about someone as he listened and then spoke. "I did my best to not let my experiences turn me sour because i know that life is hard enough already and I like being able to enjoy my paradise so I get along well with it and making friends is coming easier here," he said as he laughed.

Alice knew her mental wounds were healing but it would still be a long process. In the meantime she had to grow up fully into adulthood and catch up on what she missed out on. "I understand what you mean" she replied before tucking up her wings and diving ahead of him. She passed under the penguins and flew out of the water. A way of testing her skills as she you'd never know what kind of fight you'd have. The penguins moved round Xander now Alice was observing them. She could also see the ones on shore heading out to sea too. Perhaps they were interested in their visitors. Xander Dayspring

"There is something to be said about how free this place feels. I think that everyone sees that but I also think that everyone also realizes that it can be dangerous at the same time. It gives me secret vibes but for today I am doing nothing but having fun. Gotta make time for it or life will not let us so I hope you are having fun too." Alice Seraphim

Alice descended back into the sea after this test splashing both Xander and the penguins. She was going too fast but things like this was how she learned how to deal with water while using her wings. Floating to the top again she replied "I am having fun. I never imagined I'd even see a penguin never mind have them this close. I have faced the danger as part of my job. Even with freedom and paradise you still have crime and I wouldn't swap this isle for anywhere. I haven't felt free anywhere else". That was the truth but she did have faith that humanity could change for the better given enough time. Xander Dayspring

As they swam around, he dived under and then decided to take a small break. "I think I need some food. I brought picnic food if you want to take a break with me Alice, but you do not need too." He was trying to pride himself on being a good friend to people and he felt that so far he was doing well right now. Alice Seraphim

It didn't feel right to leave Xander to dine with the penguins and only them. So she asked "are you thinking about the boat or the shore?" while she arose from the sea again. She hovered so she faced him from a few feet away getting used to close control she'd need just to hover. A useful skill she'd try and combine with shooting as she continued practising on the range. Freedom meant she could fully explore what she was able to do. Xander Dayspring

"I was thinking about the boat but if you think the shore would be safer I can completely understand that too." He wanted them to have fun not get into such a way that the day ended up spoiled for he'd hate that honestly. Alice Seraphim

"Lets eat on the boat" she mused. It could bob around and wouldn't get too far away from shore as she could just tow it back anyway. "You guys are going to have to find your own lunch" she commented to the penguins and then gracefully landed in the boat. It wobbled but when she sat down it felt stable again. "So whats's on the menu?" she cheerfully posed when Xander joined her on the boat. She wasn't a fussy eater in the slightest. Xander Dayspring

This was the first time Xander felt as relaxed as he did. He knew that it, that there would not always be days like this but the few ones he had been experiencing lately were all worth it. He even had blossoming friendships and he did like that. "There are crackers, cheese, and fruits." He took a second. "I didn't think seafood would be appropriate at all," he said as he offered her some to see what she would like. "So school is going okay?" Alice Seraphim

"The menu sounds fine to me" Alice cheerfully replied before she settled for the crackers and cheese on her plate. The fruit could wait for now. "Oh and my university course is going well. I'm still managing the workload" she added. Xander looks relaxed just like she was. So were the penguins by the looks of it. "So hows things going for you now?" she posed. She also looked curious about how his life was going. Xander Dayspring

"At least it seems like you are able to also get in fun which is good, never allow anything to go on without too much fun," he said. He took a second and thought before speaking. "I am good, I need to get back to the club soon, and get out but without hopefully any altercations of course." Alice Seraphim

It was getting harder to fit in fun given her job and her degree course but she still managed that. The tennis lessons continued and her all round game was getting better. She still had time with Mallory and her other friends which did include Xander. All while finding time for a boyfriend. "I hope there's no repeat of our first night there. I also hope they won't remember it if I return there. That night was fun until the fight started" she mused after chewing on a piece of cheese. She now knew she had options for her relationships given that night if things went wrong with her and Adam. Her job was getting more dangerous now but so far that wasn't a problem; some day it might not be that way. Xander Dayspring
