Ari's pov
______________________________________

(Cadence,one of Estella's friends inside the bunker)

When Estella was talking about her friends Ari expected them to act just like her, optimistic, energetic and bubbly but turns out they were completely different than Ari imagined,as she, Persephone and haru entered the bunker Lydia had greeted the trio with A not-so-welcoming firework stick to the neck "move an inch and go to your grave with this stick impaled into your neck" Lydia's cold grey eyes were already sharp enough so getting stabbed with a firework stick would just add to the pain "Lydia,what did I tell you about threatening our guests with your firework stick" Estella said with a disappointed expression on her face "Essy, who are these people" Lydia said,her expression softened a little bit when she set her eyes on her friend's face "don't worry Lydia,their friendly,I saved haru from a krill a while back" Lydia lowered her firework stick but gave them a cold glare worthy of a blizzard in valley of triumph, Estella then said with enthusiasm "feel free to make yourself at home!" Estella removed her mask as she looked at everyone in the bunker,Lydia was sitting in the corner far away from the trio staring at them the same was a wolf would stalk their prey,haru looked at the dirt stuck in his shoe, Persephone's eyes bounced around the room which was often a sign that she was feeling nervous, Ari whistled, a miserable attempt to break the ice that only made the tension worse "sooo, I'm going to visit the wounded mantas in the nursery-" Estella said but was interrupted by Ari "I wanna come!"

(Cadence inside the nursery)

That's how Ari had found herself walking towards the entrance that led to the nursery, after seeing the bunker
Ari had learned to lower her expectations she imagined a dirt pile with dying mantas laying down in it
In the cold wet rain,but instead she found the nursery quite comfy the nursery had a blue lake filled with paper boats on it around the lake were lights(baby mantas) laying down cozily on the pillows scattered around
The lake,a skykid with short hair  and red cape(who Ari assumed was cadence) was wrapping a bandage on a bird's wing,the skykid turned around to greet Estella "oh hi  little ella, who's your new friend?" the skykid waved at Ari with a warm smile at least this one is not like Lydia Ari thought, Estella blushed with embarrassment "Do you always have to call me that when you meet someone new cadence?" Cadence smirked in a way that reminded Ari of Haru when he won an argument "of course I do,how am I supposed to introduce you to them" Estella grumbled something' about cadence and started feeding a manta fruits Ari stared at Estella who was staring at the baby manta laying down in the pillow Infront of her  and wondered what she was thinking about
