Kai rubbed at the back of his neck, "Well, yours was that when the statue's soulmate touched them, they'd become human…"

She stopped where she was. "Soulmate?" She repeated as a question. "But…I already have a soulmate. Sure, he's not here anymore, he was from Lysander."

Kai just shrugged and looked down at the ground, "I'm… sorry that he's gone, but that was what the legend said."

Mickey's brow furrowed. "Are…are you sure?" She looked at him. "There's nothing…missing, maybe? Because that can't be right. Can it?"

Kai shook his head, "I've heard the story a hundred times. Whether it be from news reports, family, friends to small children, I'm not incorrect."

She sat, thinking about what she had just been told. Whether she realised that there were people around or if she didn't care was not made clear.

"Micky, you can't sit in the middle of the hall," He said gently walking back and crouching in front of her, "Come into my apartment, please."

She looked up at him, then realised where they were. "Sorry, I…there's just a lot running through my head right now."

"I understand," Kai took her hand and gently lifted her to the feet, "But you'd be more comfortable in a more private setting."

Mickey nodded, taking in what he was saying. "Yeah, yeah you're right."

Kai nodded and led her over to the door, opening it up and leading her inside. He brought her over to the couch.

She assumed that the item he was showing her was a seat of some sort, so she sat on it. Oh! It's squishy!

Kai smiled a little at her, "Do you want a drink of some sort?"

"Do you have Aspenian?" She asked, one of her favourite drinks as a child. "Or at least Littensp?"

The smile faded and he shook his head, "I… I don't know what that is… I'm sorry…"

Mickey then thought a bit to herself. "Then…what do you have in this…New York?"

"Water, juice, coffee, tea, soft drink…" He trailed off, shrugging.

"Do you not have to boil water anymore?" She asked, surprised. "Um…can I try a soft drink?"

Kai nodded, grinning, "Okay, of course you can. it is fizzy so be warned." He chuckled, heading back into the kitchen to pour the drink.

"What's…fizzy?" Mikayla thought to herself as Kai started to fix up the drink for her.

"Like…bubbly, it'll feel tingly when you drink it." He explained, shrugging.

"Oh, OK then. We've never called it bubbly, but I think I know what you're talking about."

Kai nodded, bringing the glass of lemonade over to her, "Here."

Mickey downed the sweet liquid warily, not knowing what it would taste like. When she liked it, she drank t quickly. "Ah! It burns!" She cried as the bubbles fizzed in her throat.

Kai cracked a small smile but it faded, "It will burn when you chug it."
