Shade didn't understand why conversation was so important to Niva, a person's silence tod Shade a lot about them, she had forgotten for a moment that humans couldn't read a person by their silence, not in this time though. However she wasn't even sure what to say so her silence was given in conversation.<br/><br/>And for a little bit she learned a little bit about her new companions from their silence, but it was soon ruined with Gabriel mentioning something about insurance and pulling her from the near meditation state she had fallen into. She moved to the side when Gabriel insisted on moving t the back of the van. The opening on the suit gave her a chance to stop and stare at the technology for a second, her eyes glowing a curious color of blue before she turned her head back to face forward.<br/><br/>She thought they would fall back into silence again but Gabriel asked her a question.  It gave her pause and as the seconds turned into minutes, Shade struggled to find the right words to tell them where she was from. Finally she shrugged rested her elbows on her knees and answered. "Earth, at least what's left of it in the future." Normally Shad's voice was almost void of emotion or very matter of factly, this time her voice sounded sad. Seeing the earth as it is now, almost made Shade long to bring her close friends and family back in time to see it all. But she was taking a huge risk as it was just being here. Time travel isn't exactly legal technology where she is from.
