Chapter Ten

Colin kept Genevieve busy all day in the lab. He worked in his office most of the time but check on her often. By the time she finished giving the evening round of nutrients to the plants, she was feeling pleasantly tired and satisfied with what she’d accomplished.

Colin came into the growing room, just as she was finishing up. “I have to go into town to sort out the supply shipment. The others are planning to meet at the platform to relax and talk.” He shifted his feet and stuck a hand into his pocket. “Do you want to come with me? You must be missing your friends from the ship.”

That made her perk up though she felt a little conflicted about it. It had been a while since she’d had any social engagements, but would the other humans like her? Would they ask questions she couldn’t answer? “Sure, but can I get cleaned up and change before we go?”

“Of course.”

So, after a quick trip back to the housing unit, they flew to town in the transport instead of walking. Colin said he normally walked to town get some exercise but that Genevieve looked far too pretty to be trudging through the dirt. Because she hadn’t arrived with any clothes of her own, she’d put the gold dress back on.

Colin said that she might be a bit too dressed up for the occasion, but she didn’t care. It felt good to wash her hair, let it loose, and put on something similar to what she’d worn back home. Clothing was a flection of one’s inner state of being, she explained to him, not about the opinions others might form of it. Though she would do her best to get along with the other humans, she decided here and now to continue being herself. She might be losing everything she knew in her home dimension, but she would retain all she was on the inside. Everyone was just going to have to accept that, the same way she was going to would have to accept them.

As they flew in, Genevieve had more time to focus on the landscape now that she was getting used to riding in the transport. Now she could appreciate the beauty of the planet itself. Its shades of orange and red had an artistic quality to them, as if someone had painted it all there. The clean lines of it all, and the relief of gazing across its surface as far as the eye could see had a soothing effect to it. It was like a clean slate imbued with exciting and hidden possibilities.

Never in a millennium had she thought she would like such a thing. But then, she rarely left Tarmange’s hustle and bustle. Most Jinn felt no need to travel. What could possibly outshine Tarmange with its flamboyant architecture and artistry? They had the best of everything there. Compared to human standards—or what Jinn called sub-par standards—it could only be described as a barrage of luxury and elegance.
