Fika followed Lucien and the others around as they went to visit the valley there was going to be a new nest in, but she wandered off to visit some friends she hadn't seen in a while pretty quickly. She was returning now cause she was pretty sure she'd seen a cool looking rock here before and just now remembered and she wanted to find it and check.

The valley turned out to have changed a bunch! She knew valleys changed but usually they got deeper in the middle, not taller. This valley had tall very big tree like things with glass and rocks and they were smooth and sorta cool looking - though she's pretty sure her rock looked more like other rocks than these rocks that were being used as buildings. She could tell they were buildings cause the new tall animals people kept going in and out of them.

It started getting dark after a bit (though not as much as normal, they had glowing rocks on sticks around the valley now) and so she was looking for a comfy place to cuddle up for the night.

Fika climbs one of the very big rock buildings. It's big enough that all of the amaliens in the Esteel Tree could live in it! Though it's not as easy to climb as the Esteel Tree, mostly it's very flat and sometimes has glass bits. Some of the glass bits are sticking out so there are ways to get in but not really enough to make it easy to climb. 

Near the top bits she finds an opening into a room with a cozy looking bed that has a bit of extra space and some soft looking blankets. She slips inside and cuddles up close it's a bit chilly outside.

The occupant of the bed is fast asleep and flops an arm over Fika without particularly distinguishing her from a pillow.

Coze! Fika falls asleep pretty fast, it's a comfy bed.

The occupant... yelps in surprise on waking!

Fika yawns without surprise!

"How did you get in here? Why are you in my bed?" says the Amentan, squinting at her pocket everything to reacquire Cryptophasia for the purpose.

She easily learns Cryptophasia, from the INTERNET!!

"I was looking for a place to cuddle up for the night and found a way in!"

Permalink

"What way in? We're on the twentieth floor!"

Fika points at the window!

Permalink

"- I took the screen out to clean it and passed out before I put it back but we're still on the twentieth floor."

Permalink

Fika nods! She's proud of her for figuring it out. 

Permalink

"The building's practically sheer!"

Permalink

Fika nods.

"I don't know why though."

Permalink

"- I think it reduces wind noise and looks shinier or - you climbed it? Or, oh, did a monster fly you up?"

Permalink

"I climbed it!"

She demonstrates by clambering onto the ceiling, holding herself upside down from a light fixture.

"Do amaliens have sticky lizard fingers?"

Permalink

"No, unless we got honey on them."

"And a lizard."

Permalink

"How do you - never mind, make yourself cozy, I need the bathroom and breakfast."

Permalink

Fika flops from the ceiling onto the bed. She wonders what's for breakfast.

Permalink

Crumpets, looks like.

Permalink

Nom nom. She really likes them!

Permalink

She has not been, strictly speaking, offered any, but the occupant of the hotel room doesn't especially mind after she thinks about it for a minute. "So what's your name?" she asks. "I'm Komo."

Permalink

"Fika! Komo is a good name."

Permalink

"Thanks. Did you pick my room for any particular reason or was it just that the screen was off - I should put it back, actually -" She goes and gets the screen out from where it has been drying in the shower and puts it back. "It was full of plaster bits, I think they did things in a dumb order when they built this place."
