Marlene followed alongside Eiko, her little hand grasping at her friend's. The town was so big and bustling. It was so much more different than Edge had been. And with an expert guide like her friend here to show her around, Marlene was just tickled pink.

The little girl took in everything with wide eyes, making mental notes of things for the future. Best places to eat, cool looking scenery and the like. Marlene stared at the shop Eiko pointed at, looking confused. "What's a synthesist's shop?"
