Alice squeezed his hand as they waited to be checked on the ship. It was a floating restaurant, bar and partly nightclub. Or you could just find a place to watch the sea from. The choice was yours. Also big enough to not feel cramped. He still looked a bit nervous as he said it was very nice. It was a step up for her too as she hadn't done much that fancy herself. Apart from that new year party she supposed. Alice gave him a supportive smile and quietly replied "no need to worry Lucas. We're going to have fun tonight and then finish at your place".

He did not really know much about the family who owned the island and he still wanted things to be nice and this was. He smiled down at Alice. "I just do not come to things like this often but I am glad that it was suggested to me. It's a nice, glorious date spot actually." They moved along the line and eventually got to their reservation and was sat at their table. It was slightly in the corner but a good enough view for them to see out. "I did buy waffles if you wanted some in the morning though I was not assuming you were but I am glad that it seems like you want to." Alice Seraphim

So at the table that still gave a good view of the outside it did appear that they were the last ones to board. A person used to boats could feel the motion and they were moving right now. "Waffles sound good. As do other things we might end up doing later" Alice playfully replied. Then they got to look at the menu that was fancier than a diner but not so fancy you needed to know another language to understand it. She noted Lucas was getting into this too and looking happy to be here and with her. "Do you want to bottle of wine with dinner?" she sweetly posed as she mulled over her starters and main course selections. She wasn't a fussy eater. Lucas Roberts

"I was trying to think of something that would be nice so waffles won out," he said as he took a few minutes to get used to the motion. He heard how she followed it up and honestly her playfulness was attractive to him. "Alice," he whispered quietly. It was not that he cared he just was trying to keep himself from starting to camoflauge which worked for the moment. Wine with dinner was usually a good go to but if he was being honest with himself he did not care much for the wine tonight. "Hmm," he said as he looked around. He should have went for a bit more of a corner table but it'd be fine as he turned to Alice. "What I want for dinner is not on that menu," he said still quiet. "What I hope to taste is also not on that menu but it would probably taste just as good with a wine. So this is my plan" he said still whispering. "I am going to order food, you order food and we can pick a wine together but I need to be honest Alice, once our date leads back to my apartment I don't plan on being so drunk that I won't follow through with us you know." Still he was a respectful gent and always had been. "I should have reserved the deep corner table because then you could have ate your food from the menu and I could have went under the table and camoflauged and ate too. Maybe one day though just not tonight at least not on this ride." Alice Seraphim

Alice found a smile forming on her face as these ideas Lucas suggested taking form in her mind. "I can completely agree with that Lucas" she whispered back and gave him a kiss back. Given Alice didn't know what wine went with various dishes she'd pick the wrong wine anyway. She tended to say what was on her mind and with a lot to look forward to later on at his place she couldn't help looking happy. "So now we've figured all that out lets try a white wine and the real dinner will happen after this dinner. I think I'll skip the starter and go straight for a breaded Chicken Kiev, Caesar salad and the Parmesan fries". She'd have to wait until this evening played out to get second dinner but the wait would be worth it. Lucas Roberts

He liked listening because he found that it was the easiest way to truly get to know someone and if you wanted to build a relationship you had to do that no matter how short or long it had been. "White wine it is then" he said as he thought about what he wanted. In the end he went with steelhead trout bake with dijon mustard and a salad with a vinegerette dressing as he took in the atmosphere. Maybe when he got to the retiring stage of his life he'd live on a boat but he did not know quite yet. "You know the greatest thing about this right now is despite the fact that I am nervous about the water, it is seriously so well put together. I can see why people want to do this, it makes you feel so relaxed." Alice Seraphim

So with orders placed and the wine on the table while they waited Alice sipped her glass. "You know Lucas I grew up near Jacksonville, Florida. Not that I got to see many normal people anyway and I know about water even if I didn't see the sea before I came here. It's a state where alligators do sometimes freely wander and I seen them from time to time. I even seen on make itself at home when it broke a fence in the army base I grew up in and wouldn't leave the APC. And when they don't want to do something its quite a staring contest". She laughed softly at this memory and there were plenty of good ones from this period of her life. "In fact if the US military didn't hate our kind so much I might have even joined up properly. So I ended up here doing what I do now" she added with a smile. Lucas Roberts

Florida? The truth was he found that interesting. "Arkansas for me," he said as he still listened on. "Well Alice," he said. "You can keep the alligators." Now that he thought about it he had not seen many here but he was sure that dangerous sea life existed here even if you could not see it as he took a minute to sip on his wine. It was good and he needed to make a note to remember that he did like white wine. "People seem to hate what they can not or are not willing to understand. Maybe one day it will not always be like that though or so I hope." Alice Seraphim

Hearing where Lucas came from made Alice smile again. So what had he done before coming here? That thought crossed her mind as they waited for the food to arrive. "I'd like to think that the future might be better but there'll always be some groups of people being hated for no good reason at any given time. That's how the wheel turns. Right now its oddity kind, before then it was the states that had Jim Crow laws and even before then you'd the holocaust. I don't think humans know any better but they will have to learn to live with us" Alice replied figuring that was as good as things were likely to get. She knew this isle also had a human population and normal crime aside they were getting on just fine with their neighbours. "So what were you doing in Arkansas before you came here?" she curiously asked. Lucas Roberts

"I think that there is still hope for people I just know that it will not happen over night but I have met a couple of humans and they seem fine. Change will hopefully eventually come this way but all we can do is hope to be a small part of that change," he said as he messed with his food. Thinking about Arkansas made him think about Sam and that, Sam was so different here. "Sam and I, that's my sister," he said. "Sam and I used to help run an agricultural center and then she suggested we come here. It made me so happy because I thought we would be working together for Ashford Institute but then Sam met the gang and me and her have not seen one another much sense. She comes into my apartment from time to time to let me know she is okay but other than that I just deal with it. Luckily I have work and you know it's not sad she just had a lot of potential."

Alice listened carefully to what Lucas was saying. She had no family that she knew off but at least one of her parents had to have been an oddity for her to even grow wings. He seemed to think that change would come eventually and they could be a part of it. It was as valid a view point as hers but she considered he was more likely to be correct. Her own experiences had coloured her view of humanity and it seemed there wasn't enough of them who would treat her like an equal. As Lucas' story unfolded she slipped a hand over his. While she had no family she knew a part of it being there as she grew up with army nurses. Her aunties had stayed with her until the last nurse left when she was 16 and that was the start of her decline. So they could have both been ARI? That was interesting. He felt she had a lot of potential too. She would be seen by gangs as another police officer and hadn't many dealings with them anyway. It was usually the normal police who dealt with them. "Lucas, she made her choice. You have to give her the chance to walk that road to see where it leads. You are walking your own path too but you both could do great things. Just on different pathways but she might still go back to what she knows later on. Horticulture is my degree course and at some point in time that could be my field too. I won't always be a warrior" she softly advised. "I've no family as far as I know. I never seen my birth records so I'm no idea. But at least you have her. Don't give up on Sam yet". Lucas Roberts

He had given it thought and having family was good but there were times when it also simply sucked. "Yeah I mean I haven't given up I just don't approve but as a person who knows that people have to make their own choices I got to let her do her own thing." His only fear was that she might get hurt but that could be anyone really. He turned towards her when she spoke of no family as far as she knew of. "As in the birth records disappeared or as in you know where they are but can not access them?" Alice Seraphim

Lucas seemed to think in a similar way to her but as having a sister in a gang was the reality he faced. He did seem to be able to deal with it though. Then came a question for her as she sipped her wine. "I have never seen them but I do have memories of being in a orphanage before my wings started to grow. I was four then and grew up without a surname. I didn't even have freedom before I came here" was her short answer. If he wanted to hear the dark story she'd tell him as they've have plenty of time; it was a true horror story that could and did happen all over the world. Black ops and mad science wasn't just confined to the USA. Lucas Roberts

His curiosity was taking over but he was not going to push. People often told you what they felt comfortable with what they wanted you to know and he knew that. "That sounds very lonely but very sufficient at the same time. I am not even sure if the two go together but we learn lessons and then we are able to get a chance to learn from them." He hated the way that he thought sometimes but he was learning to expand and be less thinking of work and things of that nature when he was off the clock. "Well I will do my best to try and make good memories for and with you. I think that we both deserve that and I would like that too if I am being honest." Alice Seraphim

Alice looked back at Lucas as dinner continued. "It wasn't all lonely but no child should have to grow up like that; but it still happens even now" Alice said. Eating more dinner she sipped her wine and smiling slightly added "if we both try and do that it should be a good night; here on this ship and your apartment". Alice by rights shouldn't have turned out so well but somehow she'd soaked up all the lessons the army had given her. Now she could defend her own kind. Lucas Roberts
