Before Nanaki finally visited Hydroponics, he wanted to check out the rest of the ship - mainly to make sure if he could find any other places that sounded as nice. The city hadn't been too bad; if anything, the park was peaceful enough. But just as he expected, nothing came close to the earthy, planety feeling that he sensed immediately upon entering Hydroponics. To him, everywhere else on Stacy, while tolerable, still felt like he was living inside the belly of an animal (which wasn't too far from his actual situation), which irritated and dried out his nose. He had to get used to this, he figured, but for now he wanted to sit and think, resting somewhere comfortably.

Before he did that, he took it upon himself to take a look around, moving, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, through the vast area. He spotted some of the wildlife, took note of the different sorts of trees and plants that lived there - some of them he'd never seen before, so every once in a while he would pause, taking a closer look at something.

He finally took refuge underneath a tree, stretching out and lying against the base. Silently, Nanaki watched the others passing through, wondering how those he'd met so far were faring on their new "home."

"My, what a big kitty." Midna, of course, was hovering well up out of reach, even as she watched Nanaki lie down. Sense of self-preservation and all.

"You must be one of the newcomers."

The Chancellor came through, having returned something he'd borrowed from hydroponics.

"Good afternoon," he says to the individual relaxing.

As Nanaki passed, Alastirra waved from where, as was her wont, she worked on her garden.

"Hello!" she called. "Come to enjoy Hydroponics?"

After their discussion it seemed a sensible question.

Applejack took to this land immediately, just as if she was home on the farm again. That wasn't quite true, of course, but it sure was nice to see a tree again. An honest to goodness tree. Several of them, even! The air didn't feel quite like Equestria, but it was sure as hay better than the stuffy old ship's other parts.

"This here's one fine tree you've got," Applejack admired when she found the crew member enjoying himself, sorely tempted to tap the trunk with a hoof. Maybe this one would even bear fruit someday.

Kali flopped the grass, wings relaxing to either side of her. This felt even less like a ship, finding herself safe for a moment in the sunlight and she couldn't help a low thrum of pleasure as she settled into the grass not far away from Nanaki.

For a few minutes, that was the only sound she made, as she found a comfortable position. She looked very much like a happy child that had just found a patch of sunlight to bask in.

She had come to find Nanaki, not knowing as she did so that there would be sun and grass and living things to delight in. That this little patch of normalcy existed in the ship. She should have come here sooner. This felt more like home than anywhere save the room that smelled of her father had so far.

"Humans are very complicated." The soft complaint was uttered after she finally stilled, wings spread to absorb the light, hoping that it would help shake off the lingering fear from her encounter with Marco. She would not have done this, not with anyone else on the ship. But Nanaki was the closest thing she had to a friend on the ship, and he had invited her to seek him out.
