"Great! To think that Brella is so close. It's been way too long." Elizia thought for a minute, then snapped back to reality and looked to Valentina, reaching for her wallet, "You probably want some payment, I imagine? You did get me here and saved my rear twice."

Valentina leaned back, closing her eyes. "No need, techie. The free ride in your ship was enough for me, thanks." Plus, we're not out of the woods yet, she thought to herself.

Elizia took her hand away from her wallet and instead went about shuffling through her tool jacket, sliding through this and that. One of her little electronics beeped at her and flashed red, a low power warning. Getting on her knees so her wings could be hidden, she summoned them and closed her eyes. The beeping stopped.

"Sometimes, being a walking battery comes in handy," She said, smiling as she put the device away, "What about you Stovians? Any particular gifts?"

"The third eye's helpful," Valentina explained after thinking about it for a moment, winking the eye in her forehead. "Plus, we're faster and stronger than we look. Gravity's strong on Stovia."

(Oh yeah… I forgot about that entirely…)
Brella nodded, mulling that over. Gravity was quite a factor. Many humans have grown up in gravity wells, but some who grew up on the asteroids of their system were rumored to be much taller, and skinnier. Barely recognisable as human.

But Valentina was almost as tall as she. That must warrant some special evolution.

"How strong?"

"I can lift upwards of 600-700 earth pounds." Valentina's mouth screwed up. "But it all depends on the given gravity. Basically, I'm a bit strong for my size on Stovia, where the gravity is more extreme, so most other places, I'm much stronger than that."

Elizia widened her eyes, hardly believing. The train's approach warning beeped, and the passengers around gathered their belongings.

"Time to go?"
