Sabina looked behind herself, “Well, Goodmorning.” She leaned against the counter, looking at him through the threshold connecting the living room to the kitchen.

“Ugh… I-I wasn’t out too long, was I?” Lloyd stood up unsteadily, extending his wings to balance himself.

“Ten minutes. Granted, it should have been longer. Please let be get you an air mattress.” She reached back to get an Apple.

“What’s an air mattress?” Lloyd folded his wings and yawned, combing through his hair with his fingers.

“It’s a bed but it’s lower to the ground and it fills up with air to make the ground more comfortable. It’s sleeping on air.”

"Oh… but don't you have to buy those? I haven't got any money."

“That’s why I said I would buy it for you.”

"You don't need to buy anything for me Sabina. I'm okay."

“Okay..” she sighed, “Do you at least feel better now that you slept for…ten minutes?”

Lloyd shrugged. "I mean, I guess so. What were we going to do today?"

“I didn’t really have any plans.” She shrugged, “Whatever you’re interested in, I suppose.”

"Well, I need to learn how to be a police officer if I'm to make money and stuff."

“Okay, maybe we can go get an application for the entrance exam? That way you know what’ll be on the test to get into the academy?”

"Alright. Do you know what sort of things I'll need to do?" Lloyd went to the door and opened it, holding it open for Sabina.

Sabina sat up from the counter, “Only a vague idea, no specifics.” She walked over to the door, “I need to change to cover my wings first.”

Lloyd nodded and walked out after Sabina. Once she'd changed, they headed over to the police station.

“Okay,” she said when they parked, “Do you want me to go in with you? Just in case you need help with any human interaction or anything?” The thought was silly to her at first, but giving he just came to earth for the first time three days ago with little to no human interaction, he might need some support, she reasoned. But then again she would rather not go in with having no idea what to say in a situation she’d had no experience in.

"Uh… that would probably be for the best." Lloyd got out of the car and looked up at the police station, checking to make sure Sabina was there before he went in. "Where am I supposed to go?"

“Just through the front door.” She managed a smile, shutting her car door. She stuffed her hands in her pockets and hopped up the curb to the front door of the police station, “Just ask for some information about the exam.”

"Okay…" Lloyd found a desk with a person that he decided would be adequate for asking questions to. "H-Hello, sir." He bowed politely. "Do you know where I could obtain information about police academy applications?"

The ginger haired man looked up with an unusually cheery expression over a name tag that read Timothy, “Well, you can get the information here but it won’t be very lengthy. We encourage applicants to apply online. For now I can give you a list of the basic requirements you’ll need to apply, and the website to find the application.” He offered.

"Alright, thank you. That would be very helpful." He glanced over at Sabina, confused. What is online? Lloyd accepted a couple sheets of paper from the man and left the building with Sabina.

Sabina followed him out, planning to answer any of his questions inside the car, “Online is..is a network connected to machines that gives you different types of information in a visual appealing way. I’ll just have to show you.”

"Is it like books?" Lloyd looked over the papers he'd been given. "What do they need my address for?"

“To send you mail and things.” She brushed off, “Every job application asks for it.”

Some other things the application needed: “must have obtained high school diploma or GED, must be 21 years of age or older, must have motor vehicle license”
