Alice nodded her head as he mentioned that her actions would show her true gratitude.  She sincerely hoped that they would, in time.  "Well, then I suppose I am grateful you found me, and that they were not able to keep me."  She said, smiling widely at him.  The idea of being able to teleport anywhere in the world, even in her own world, sounded amazing.  The flight to London had taken hours upon hours.  To be able to travel instantly was almost unfathomable.  Alice followed Emlyn out of their room to the back balcony.  Within minutes of them settling in, the ship began to lift off.  Alice had never been a fan of heights, but something here made her feel safe.  Perhaps it was Emlyn himself.  Being in his company had certianly seemed to lift her mood.<br/><br/>The ship began to climb into the sky and the world below almost looked more familiar from above.  Homes, buildings, all of it was not so different at this height.  They continued their ascent until a thick fog surrounded them, and it was not until they managed to get above it, that Alice realized they had just sailed through the clouds.  From their vantage point now, it looked as if they were sailing on a sea of swirling white and gray clouds, complete with soft, rolling waves.  Alice had seen this sort of view from an airplane, but it was somehow a different feeling here.  Emlyn had been right, for a few hours she remained on the balcony, until the sun began to settle in the sky and the stars twinkled brightly up above.  At that point, her energy seemed to wane.<br/><br/>"I don't want to be a bother, but perhaps we could return to your room and have something to eat?  I believe the excitement of the day finally caught up with me."  She said gently to Emlyn, stifling a yawn as she finished the sentence.  It was possible it was also the thin air making her tired.  Alice had lived much of her life at or near sea level, so the change in altitude had its effect on her.  "Maybe you can tell me more about what you hope to have me do as your secretary and companion over dinner?"
