"Yeah, I guess you're right, fitting in wouldn't make any sense, heh."First, because her mouth had been startled shut; fortunately Maya was able to suppress her surprise to a twitch and catching her breath. Second, because the warmth of Serenity's hand  spread from her shoulder into her face . Moreover, the redhead's chuckle disarmed Maya's nervousness. Maya looked up at Serenity and nodded. "Its a pleasure to meet you Sergeant."Maya called upon her taught social  graces and took Serenity's hand giving a firm handshake. "I'm Maya, ain't got any titles but I am pretty dependable."Maya Shrugged awkwardly, suddenly feeling stupid for such a random adjective...<br/><br/>Maya looked around at the trees and pristine stone walkway. "You know..."Just at that moment Serenity noticed the strange swirling in the distance and Maya hadn't had a second to react when the tall woman grabbed her hand and ran with it. Maya screeched at being tugged suddenly and focused her energy on keeping up with her new companion's long stride. When Serenity stopped in front of the gate and let go of her, Maya narrowly missed crashing into her back. While she was sure Serenity had enough inertia to stay on her feet, the idea of falling onto someone she just met, was not a favorable.<br/><br/>Catching her breath Maya thanked her god that she kept up with physical conditioning in recent years.<em> Yeesh, WHAT IS TODAY?</em>Maya looked up and craned around Serenity's body shield and when she saw the vortex before them took in a deep sigh.<br/><br/><em> "What in the actual fuck is going on here?..."</em>She heard Serenity stammer out.<br/><br/>"That's what I said...like 5 minutes ago. Yeesh"She walked over to the edge of the path and while leaning down to pick up what she thought was a sparkly a pebble but saw a shiny coin  laying under a bush and studied it for a moment before she dropped it into her bra. Breaking off a small twig from that same bush, Maya walked stone faced over to Serenity's side and stuck it through the gate.<em><strong> Fwoosh</strong></em>[/b] There it went, disappearing into the ether. Maya took a sizable step back and mimed kicking the gate in frustration. "uH HUH, GREAT... This is some video game nonsense." She then crouched down on the ground and pondered, exasperated, staring into the swirling darkness. "YUP, MhM. Uhuh. Yup. This is some shared dream we can't wake up from."She pursed her lips and looked at Serenity. "There has got to be like... a puzzle or something, right? A riddle, something. I honestly don't know what I'm saying ."Raising an eyebrow and rubbing her temples, she preceded with what most people would describe as noncoherent  grumbling and shook her head looking past Serenity again." I assume You're real because my ass still hurts from falling on it earlier." Then suddenly she stood up again and put her hand out gesturing for Serenity. "I'll be real with you, this all a little ridiculous. And<strong> I</strong>need coffee or something resembling sedatives. This is a fun dream, don't get me wrong but...yup. Let's try another path,eh?<br/>
