Aurora smiled and embraced the taller Londonite warmly.<br/>Aurora herself hadn't looked a day over 20 thirteen years ago and still was just as ageless. Time had been less kind to Bekki, as it was to all 'outworlders'.<br/>A few exchanged pleasentries with her escort and Aurora ushered her old friend inside. Iced Tea and air conditioning waited for them, a welcome salve against the tropical heat.<br/><br/>She plucked a tall, thin glass from the waiting table and handed it to Bekki before taking one herself. "So, are you ready?" she asked. Her eyes scanned the woman's figure with a practiced gaze. Her curves weren't what they were, nor was her complexion, but her disposition hadn't changed much. "Your message said something about permanence. Are you thinking something like where you ended up last time? 38 weeks with twins?"<br/><br/>Dhe took a sip of her tea, "of course, I told you then you could've gone much bigger for your time here, to whatever size your dreams wanted, but I don't recall you indulging then," a grin came across her face. As the tales of people being granted wishes for a day or so... being the size of buildings, or even mountains spread, so did imaginations soar.
