A fine day for horseback riding. ((For i_paladin))

[chiron_survivor]

Adia is full of nervous energy as she waits outside of the Nexus inn for Paladin. She is mostly excited, but it has been a long time since she has ridden a horse. Her riding boots and helmet are long gone, lost along with everything else when Leonis was destroyed. She is wearing her regular boots and jeans, along with a sweater and her heavy wool coat. She didn't bother with a scarf, worried the fluttering might startle or distract the horse. Paladin did say that he was sassy.

Shifting her weight from foot to foot, she pulls out her PINpoint for the hundredth time and checks for messages. The innkeeper was happy enough to play go-between, printing out Adia's electronic messages and transcribing anything that Paladin wanted to write back in return. It's how they were able to plan their get-together. But Adia checks anyway. Plans can change, after all.

Adia smiles modestly. "You'll meet other people here who can help," she says confidently. Although it is true that few are as quick to reply to text messages as she is.

"I'm only busy because I don't want people asking where I've been. Otherwise I'd probably spend all day in the Nexus. Oh, um... one more thing, when you're done with a computer, you should sign out. Otherwise someone else could use your account." Leaning over, she clicks the sign-out button for chat and email. "There, that should do it."

"Oh," about the singing out. Good call. "I will sign out from here on out," though why anyone would use her account is beyond Paladin. There is nothing in there! But it makes sense if there was sensitive conversations within the account.

"And you have very important work to do back in your world, people need you." To keep her in the Nexus is very nice for Paladin but there are more important people that need her more in Adia's world. Once logged out, the Tiefling offers an arm to the young woman. "Let us make this quick then!"

It is more of a courtesy than anything, as any decent sort of person would simply log out the previous user, but Adia is as protective of her electronic accounts as she is over her PINpoint.

Adia isn't as sure on that point. She tries to be helpful, certainly. And she still does not know the purpose of the project that the Cylons have her collecting data far. But pushing those thoughts aside, she stands up and takes Paladin's arm with a smile. "Not too fast, I'm not built for speed," she jokes.

"We shall stroll then," Paladin tells Adia with a big grin. The horned creature is in no rush and as long as Adia is alright with it then they will take it slow. "In fact, you're in charge, I am not sure where a PINpoint station is around here."

The Tiefling has probably seen one but can't recall where off the top of her head. That being said, it's easy enough to get out of the little computer room and back into the lobby.

"We're only heading back to the Plaza," Adia says, although she's grateful that Paladin is letting her set the pace. Once they step out of the lobby and onto the street, she points down a ways, in the direction that Paladin and Adia first met. "Right past the fountain, there are a bunch of vending machines. You put coins or dollars into a slot, select what you want, and it pops out at the bottom. I wasn't sure if there was a vending machine still distributing PINpoints, but I've been told it's highly possible. If we can't find it, there might be a vendor who sells them instead."

It's not like she's the only person in the Nexus with a PINpoint. They must still be available.Otherwise, Paladin will have to get very familiar with her portal of origin.

[i_paladin]

"I have not ever encountered a vending machine, so perhaps it would be fine if we had to find a merchant." Either way, Paladin is easy. It will be nice to go for a slow walk after a big meal and her head is currently swimming with a lot of good information.

The air is still cold, the sky darkening slightly since it is quickly approaching winter: it is good that the both of them are wearing coats/cloaks.

Adia is grateful for her coat that has kept her warm both on New Caprica and in the Nexus. She only wishes that she had worn a scarf after all, her neck feeling a little bare.

Heading in the direction of the vending machines, Adia keeps her eyes peeled for any merchants selling PINpoints along the way. "I don't pay a lot of attention to who is selling what," she admits. "I don't want to tempt myself with something I can't afford. It'd be good for you to learn how to use a vending machine, though. They're very convenient. There's also a free coffee machine... it's where I hang out, mostly." Adia has been trying to expand her Nexus horizons and explore more, but nothing beats the comfort of free coffee, free wifi, and an intact anti-violence field.
