Liana watched as the ice and snow rapidly blundered around, causing a high pitched whistle through the small cracks in the motel brick.

Her unnatural green eyes flooded her sockets, beside from a small black dot in the middle.

‘This is what human climate is like?’ she asked, blinking slowly, taking the weather in expressionlessly.

‘Well—yes, yes,’ Amelia beside her pushed up her circular rimmed glasses, pointing on the condensed window. ‘This is called snow. It is moving at a dangerous pace. At high speeds, they are called blizzards.’

‘Blizzards,’ Liana repeated, with a blank tone. ‘Such an amusing name for such devastating climate.’

‘Is it not like this on your planet?’ Amelia asked, facing Liana with her hands full with large books, yet Liana’s gaze remained on the window.

‘It is not. We have acid rain. Do you have that?’

Amelia snorted. ‘Acid rain? Wow. Here I thought you would have— I don’t know— raining shards of glass?’

‘Oh, we do,’ Liana interjected calmly. ‘But it’s sideways.’

‘Sideways?!’

‘Yes,’ she tilted her head, her bush of blue hair bouncing. ‘What is the matter? I thought you had visited Armeona before.’

‘I did, I did,’ Amelia insisted, watching the snow whirl around. ‘It’s just— I was there at some sort of season— one that happens in the second— no— third month, umm—‘

‘Tehka season?’

‘Yeah! That’s it!’

‘I see,’ Liana’s face changed. it looked like she was smiling. ‘Tehka translates to peace in Armeonan. It is the one month that all stops and rests.’

‘I wish it could all stop and rest once.’
