Practice makes Perfect

"Tails."
"Tails."
"Tails."
It didn't take an astute observer to realize she wasn't just beating the odds of probability, she was calling them correctly before they landed. Time, after time, after time. The coin she was flipping might look familiar to any Andromeda crew still on board. Dylan had given it to her, back when she was purple. And still had a tail. It was a fun game she played. Messing with the right influence at the right time. Only this time it was with a coin and not people. That way Dylan wouldn't get mad at her.

He didn't understand. How could he, he was organic, mortal, trapped within his own limited perceptions and understanding. Still, that was part of the reason she needed him. He wasn't just any ordinary mortal. She needed him. All the possibilities, all the best possibilities, circled around him. She just had to get him to understand her methods were necessary. He needed to trust her. "Tails."
"Tails."
Trance flipped the coin onto the back of her hand, the motion practiced and almost boring. "Tails."

She couldn't very well say 'because playing with mortals is frowned upon' could she? "There's only so much here to do. I was thinking of taking a walk in the arboretum. Would you like to join me?" Trance offered her new found friend a hand.

Actually, she could. While he wasn't immortal as such - just old - he'd wholeheartedly agree playing with mortals was fun.

Still, there was an invitation he didn't get very often. More like never, or at least not for a very long time. And, that someone would offer a hand to a Wraith was something that would probably never stop amusing him. He took it, of course, rising smoothly from his seat. "Yes, why not?" I just wouldn't do to pass up such an invitation, would it?

Trance got up, pocketing her precious coin--not so much for the monetary value as the sentimental one-- and offered a hand to her new friend.

"I've heard several species are currently in bloom. I imagine it's quite lovely." And could probably use a dose of real sunlight strolling through. She tried to do what she could for the gardens and plants on the ship. They could simulate sunlight, sure, but they couldn't match the love and care of an actual sun.

"Most likely so," he replied as they begun their stroll. It would perhaps shock most of the inhabitants of the Pegasus galaxy, but Wraith did have a concept of beauty. This one could spend a long time gazing at the sky and stars if he had that time to spare, and could willingly allow himself to be fascinated by the natural world around him.

Pity that he rarely had the time for it.

"I have not yet had the opportunity to visit that part of the ship."

"How are you finding the ship and it's crew? This universe. It must be very different from what you are used to." Trance inquired, letting her grip on her true self loosen a little and allowing the plants to soak up true sunlight for once.

Pausing she knelt down and pulled up a seedling. Trance was sure someone in Starfleet would object, but wasn't it prudent to destroy the cancer before it became an issue? They wouldn't be able to see it like she did. So, she smiled at Wraith and just said, "Pre-emptive."
