Limni Keri, Zakynthos, Monday Evening

[rebelseekspizza]

The village of Limni Keri laid a little whiles out from the Portalocity terminal at Zakynthos's capital of Zante, but it was a pleasant trip full of beach views, tall hills and olive trees. The village itself was small, its various shops, homes and restaurants spread out across a square mile and a half, ending on a quiet beach.

The shuttle took them to a pretty yellow apartment complex. It held no restaurant, but the owners had left a spread of Greek mezedes behind for the arriving guests. Of course, if you were truly hungry, you could always take a stroll along the beach and pick one of the adorable Greek tavernas that lined the coast.

Come in, settle in. Enjoy the warm temperatures of Greece, and the sound of the surf.

Poor Carter. Just... poor Carter.

Who had no idea of his fate as he rapped on the door frame, glancing into the room, before bringing himself to enter the very same thing.

"Oh, hello," he said, smiling pleasantly at--he thought her name was Amaya? Did she show up at Summer's class now and then? (And, truthfully, perhaps she showed up more often than he did...) "I understand we're to share this space for the week."

"Ah! So, you're the roommate, huh?" Yeah, she definitely didn't think she recognized him, which was kind of a shame, she felt that would have made this whole thing a mite easier. But, well, it was what it was, they'd have to make the best of it, she supposed. "Amaya Blackstone, good to meet'cha. But I do feel I have to warn you. I'm....not really...accustomed to sharing space."

She'd had a housemate once for the extra income of rent, and couldn't even tell you how many times she'd thought of just forking that rent right back over to him just so he'd go somewhere else instead. A week wouldn't be nearly so bad, but...he should definitely be warned, it was the nice thing to do, really.

Carter paused, glancing curiously at Amaya.

"It is good to meet you as well," he said, a bit cautiously. "I'm Pastor Carter. I'll... try not to take up much space?"

"Oh, it's not a space issue," Amaya waved a dismissive hand. "Not really, anyway. You've just a right to all the space here as I do, it's just..." She shrugged. "Not used to it. And if this trip is anything like the last one of these, I'll likely only be in here for sleeping."

...which was sort of the crux of the issue, and Amaya wondered if this was a good time to bring it up, but....nah. Who knew? Maybe it wouldn't even be an issue! Maybe the Mediterranean air and the nice bed would just clear everything right up!

Spoiler alert: it would not.

"Oh, well..."

He... really didn't know what to say to that. Was it the presence of another person that discomfited her?

"I will try not to be an imposition, in any case," Carter said, smiling a little. "While this is not the usual situation for either of us, courtesy like that is nothing."

Re: Room 301

"And I'll try to do the same," Amaya assured him with a nod, offering a faint smile back. "It's the least either of us can do, right? You ever been to a place like this, Pastor? Are you from this world, or someplace different, like me?"

Funny how that actually seemed like a completely normal conversation, too.

"I haven't quite determined that," Carter admitted. "Certainly, I have never been to Greece before, or to Fandom Island, as I've lived only in much smaller towns. But a great deal of the technology is similar enough to give me pause."

He still wasn't quite sure how the calendars here worked, though, since they had far, far too many days and months.

"You've got one up on me there, then," Amaya offered with a grin. "Where I'm from, we don't even have these."

She pointed up to the light fixture on the wall.

She didn't think she'd ever really stop being fascinated by electricity.

He laughed, softly.

"I couldn't explain exactly how it works," Carter admitted. "But yes, we do have those. And phones, though I've yet to figure out why everyone here needs their own."
