"There aren't many places here that you wouldn't be welcomed," Debbie hoped her smile was as reassuring as she tried to make it. "You could even volunteer at the lab if you wanted, probably. You don't need to know lots about rifts, even the people who deal with them only know a little bit from what I understand." She was feeling more comfortable now, Aura's own inexperience reminded her that she did fit in well herself compared to when she'd first become a resident.<br/><br/>After finishing up her meal, she climbed out of her seat and motioned for Aura to follow along to the lab. She walked along with her knees partially bent and her arms held up near her chest, always ready to pounce or spring away if anything unexpected were to happen. Her soft ears twitched continually on top of her head, catching bits and pieces of conversation and the sound of the movement in a wide area around her, just enough to keep aware of her surroundings rather than to invade anyone's privacy. Her tail continually swished back and forth, tapping at the heels of her paws with each step and ruffling the back of her skirt.<br/><br/>"Do you have any plans on what you want to do?" she glanced back at Aura curiously. "You can pass for a human easily enough, it wouldn't be as hard for you to find a job as it is for lot of us."<br/><br/>Once they'd arrived at the entrance to the lab, Debbie knocked politely before pushing the door open. "Hello? I hope we aren't disturbing anything important at the moment." She peered inside, hoping that Takara had either stayed the night or come in early from home.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
