[open] wide open spaces

Hydroponics was simply amazing.

It was relaxing. That was the best way Aerith could describe it. She was sure there had been plenty before her to make this observation, though. Still, it was comforted her in a way she'd needed. Even if it wasn't the planet, her planet, it still gave her a sense of peace. Despite it being an artificial environment, it was realistic and that in itself was astonishing to her.

Nanaki had mentioned the area before, but seeing it for herself was a different story. It made her forget, just for a moment, about being on a strange ship in the middle of space.

That was a nice feeling. She could see why people would spend a lot of time here.

So she wandered around, absorbing what she could, taking in all that was around her. Aerith didn't have a specific purpose - other than exploring. It certainly was a big place.

"Space," said Alan in a voice that did not sound very much like a parrot's.

"Er... not really. Most of the plant and animal life here in Hydroponics is pretty alien. And we don't have giant plants that try to eat people or anything... although there are smaller, tamer analogues. Well, we did, anyway. On my version of Earth, there wasn't much greenery left."

Aerith gave Alan a curious look before focusing back on Zouichi - specifically at the mention of plants that tried to eat people.

"Plants try to eat people here? I'll have to be careful then." She knew better than to be too curious, but any bit of information like that was good to keep in mind.

"I can't say I recognize some of the plants here," she said thoughtfully. She'd come across a few strange looking ones, but the ones with bright colors had caught her eye. "Some of them are beautiful, though."

"Wanna go to space," Alan said in that same voice, preening the feathers of one wing. Actually, he sounded sort of mechanical just then.

"On occasion. I haven't seen one big enough to actually do it, though." Zouichi tilted his head in the general direction of a stand of denser trees and brush. "There are some interesting animals in here, too. I come here once in a while to feed the birds."

It was nice to know there probably wasn't a plant large enough to just gulp her down, but she was still going to keep an eye out. This place truly was a little bit strange. "I haven't run across many animals, but I have been pretty distracted!" She said with a wide smile, since the distractions themselves were new people and that was always nice.

Leaning her head to the side, she looked at the bird perched on her shoulder, raising an eyebrow. "Does he repeat what he hears, or does he actually come up with new things to say?"
