It was a rainy, dreary day in the town Embermoon. An orange echidna woman with red tipped hair ran through the streets, looking for cover. She seemed panicked, way more than someone who was caught in the rain should be. She finally found the cover she seeked under the awning of a restuarant, and she leaned forward, panting from a sudden lack of breath.

In front of her, standing in the middle of the street and exposed to the full downpour, was a platinum colored hybrid. His maple-leaf like hair clung limply to the sides of his face and his head tilted skyward with a serene expression.

The orange echidna looked at this stranger. She reached her hand out, as if to warn or talk to the hybrid, then stopped, and lowered her hand. She watched the hybrid until thunder boomed in the distance.
"Eep!" The echidna squeeked, jumping in surprise and then huddling underneath the awning, shaking like a terrified child. She started mumbling to herself, talking about something called a 'Zoah', sounding absolutely scared of the small bit of thunder and rain.

"Hm?" Silver turned his head toward the sounds of distress, his eyes flashing across the terrified woman. Giving a shake of his head in a futile effort to knock loose some of the water that soaked his hair, he walked toward her. "Hello? Miss? Are you okay? Do you need any help?"

The orange echidna flinched at Silvers words, then looked up at him. Her purple eyes betrayed her emotions. Fear, confusion, distress. It took her awhile to finally begin speaking.
"Oh... y-yes. I, um... i don't know where i am, and the sky is rumbling and flashing and liquid is pouring everywhere!"
Her voice shook as she spoke, and her lack of understanding what rain was was very strange to say the least.

Glancing up toward the sky, Silver's head tilted in confusion. "You mean the rain? It's just water," he looked at her with curiosity. "Have you.. never seen rain before?"

"Um..." The echidna looked at the ground. "N-no... i haven't" she suddenly looked a bit embarrassed

"Huh," the hybrid continued to eye her with curiosity. "Wow, you must not be from around here then." Stepping under the awning the ivory colored hedgehogmink grabbed at his hair and wrung it out. With a small satisfied shake of his head, he extended a hand toward the echidna. "I'm Silver. I'm not from around here either."

The echidna looked down at Silvers hand, then up at him. She grabbed his hand awkwardly, as if she wasn't used to it. "I'm Night. As you said, I, um... I'm not from around here. Everything is very confusing to me" she said as she tried shaking some water from her clothing

Silver chuckled. "Aw, that's okay. It's the same thing for me actually - here!" he placed his hand out from under the awning, letting the rain patter down on his glove. The rings on his palms and back of hand pulsed with a soft glow. "See? No harm done. It's just water."

Night let put a deep sigh of relief. "Well, it's good to know that the water is safe here... although all that-" she pointed up at the sky as lightning flashed in the far distance. "-that can't be good... right?" As the thunder rumbled in the distance, Night seemed to jump in fear once again. She shook for a bit, then slowly calmed down.

""Hrm.." Silver knit his brow together in thought. "That's called thunder. I.. don't know what causes it. The people where I came from had a belief, but, I don't think it's right anymore..."

"Where I came from that was usually a sign of a Zoah attack. Which is never a good thing... never..." Nights voice trailed off as she grasped her left shoulder and began to gingerly rub it. "And this is... normal here?" She asked after being silent for awhile.

"Normal enough that I'm curious where you're from," Silver looked back at Night. He paused, realizing how rude that probably sounded, before faltering. "Err.. if it's okay to ask.."

"Errr... i don't know if that information is exactly safe to share." Night stated, averting her gaze from Silver. The information was actually safe to share, she was just very uncomfortable talking about where she comes from, as the Nocturnus have a very negative stigma around them. She didn't want to attract the ire of the silver stranger helping her out if she could help it.

"Oh," well, that seemed a bit odd. "Well, fair enough I guess. For what it's worth I've sort of learned not to talk much about where I come from either."

Night couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Well, i guess we have something in common then. We can't talk about where we came from." She sighed shortly afterwards. "It certainly is more colorful here, i can say that."

"Heh, yeah..." Silver said, his eyes trailing down the street. "It's so much more.. green..."

"I'm still getting used to everything green not being... slimy" Night shudders.

Silver chuckled. He turned, extending a hand to her. "Say, why don't we go find some place dry to sit down that isn't this awning?"

"Sure. Did you have somewhere in mind?" Night asked, grasping Silvers hand. "I don't exactly know my way around here"

Silver smiled brightly. "I have no idea! That's part of the fun!"

"Well, i guess we should go find someplace... uuuuh... how about that one?" Night pointed at a place across the street. It had a strange yellow triangle with red polka-dots on the top of the building.

"That pizza parlor? Sure, we can maybe get something to eat if you like. My treat!" he beamed, leading the way.

Night tilted her head in confusion as Silver lead her to the Pizza parlor. She didn't understand a good chunk of what he just said, as she hadn't actually been here very long.

The bell over the door gave a merry little jingle as the two stepped inside. Immediately the scents of cheese, sauce and baking dough hit their nostrils. Silver pulled in a deep inhale of the enticing aromas as he lead Night toward the service counter. He turned, smiling to her. "So what would you like on your pizza?"

Night looked around the new environment, a sense of wonderment written all over her face. Every little detail caught her attention, the little bell, the scents, the people working, and colorful soda machine. Silvers words finally snapped her attention back to him.
"Hm? Oh uh... there's multiple things you can put on a... Pizza? Um, what do you recommend?" Night asked, not knowing what anything on the menu was

Silver raised an eyebrow at the way Night had asked her question. She didn't know what pizza was? The minkhog glanced up at the ceiling thoughtfully, and with a click of his jaw he turned toward the person behind the service counter. "Here, I'll handle the ordering. Why don't you go find us a seat?" Silver suggested before turning his focus toward the cashier.

"Oh! Uh, okay, i can do that." Night turned around and picked out a booth near the windows. She sat in the booth and continued to marvel at every new, minute detail. The orange echidna seemed oblivious to how much she actually stuck out in her demeanor and appearance, especially on Gaia, where echidna in general weren't common.
