<div style="text-align: justify;">Marissa would probably learn eventually that the beast was not another being sharing space with her. Eventually, she would probably learn that it was more like a personality trait than someone else. It would take time, probably. For now, though, she was learning more quickly than it was to be expect for someone so new to that universe. So, she would probably pick up on the rest pretty soon. For now, though, all Marissa wanted was to rest and allow her body to recover from the tiring night.<br/><br/>Once she finally felt rested, Marissa got herself out of bed and her first thought was that she wanted to see Nanook again. There was a lot they needed to talk about, at least for Marissa, but she also just felt like being with him. It was a funny and confusing feeling, but by no means was it a bad one. Deciding that she could afford to just follow her instinct for a while more, Marissa decided that calling Nanook would be the smart thing to do.<br/><br/>At his question about where they should meet, Marissa thought for a moment. “I think we should meet somewhere nice. If you don’t know anywhere, I can think of a cool places”, she suggested. While she spoke, Marissa looked around for something to wear. Deciding on light wash jeans and a dark green T-shirt, she started moving around while talking on the phone.<br/><br/>When Nanook reminded her that he still had to teach her how to skateboard, Marissa couldn’t help but laugh softly. “I suspect you just want to make fun of me when I fall on my butt”, she joked, picking up a pair of sneakers. “But fine, I’ll be all yours after we get to eat. Does that work?”.<br/><br/>While she waited for Nanook to respond, Mari started getting ready, as she was really looking forward both to seeing Nanook and to eating breakfast.</div>
