If Sszz'zzsi had pupils, observing them they would have been like following a ping pong game as she stared out her cabin's porthole, watching the indistinct shapes moving through the mist outside. Her mandibles wriggled excitedly, subconsciously cleaning each other and her smiling face. The ocean was so exciting!<br/><br/>One of her lesser sisters peered over her shoulder, clicking her mandibles nervously and giving off the scent of uncertainty. Was it supposed to be doing this?<br/><br/>Sszz'zzsi flicked her gossamer wings a couple times, spreading the reassuring pheromones she had just released throughout the cabin to all three of the sisters she had brought along from their mothers' colony. It was going to be fine! It was just water, after all. Since when had a little water ever hurt anybody?<br/><br/>Nevertheless, the princess backed away from the porthole with a restless sigh, and closed the curtain for their sake. The scent of their anxiety still lingered in the cabin air, but it did noticeably lessen when the storm outside was hidden from view. Sszz'zzsi shook her head and gently stroked a sister's abdomen the way she would a grub's, making the same soothing clicks and whistles. The sister crossed her arms and turned away, clicking in annoyance, and Sszz'zzsi chittered bemusedly. Now she was bored, though.<br/><br/>She chittered again, stroking a mandible across her mouth, and headed to the door. A sister clicked questioningly and started to follow, but Sszz'zzsi flared her wings and hissed, announcing clearly that she wanted to go alone. The sister backed down, bowing her head, and Sszz'zzsi departed. Time to find something new. She headed for the lounge.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
