New planet - Viusia [1]

<Part 3> The first day

As I walked out of my room with my clothes on, I felt comfortable. I noticed James next to me, so I walked up to him and hugged him. I loved greeting him like that instead of the usual "hello". My friend just smiled at me and asked me how I was doing so far.

- Seemed fine. I hope these mimes are really good creatures. Do you want to come with me to have a look around?

- Of course you do!

With such a friend you can explore the whole universe and not be afraid of anything, even the most dangerous, because he will be there and will never betray...

When we got out of the elevator, we immediately noticed several people from our team. They were mostly talking among themselves. Probably afraid to try and communicate with the creatures, too. I saw a mime watching them. It was Layren. There was a pleasant desire in my chest to go and communicate with him. The fear was still there, but I put it aside.

- Hello, Mr. Layren! - I decided to address him that way, and stepped closer.

- Good day, Ella. Those clothes look nice on you.

Mim smiled at me, looking at my new look. It made me feel a little embarrassed. It's not every day you get to hear that from a creature you don't know.

- Oh, well... Thank you. What are you doing?

Our conversation sounded like he was my boss and I was just an employee. I've always tried to make friends with someone who looks friendly to me.

- Watching you settle in here. I can tell you feel at home here, don't you?

- Well, maybe. Still kind of nervous after all.

With the fingers of my right hand I touched the fingers of my left hand. Sometimes I did that when I was shy or a little stressed. This action calmed me down. The creature noticed this and I quickly stopped, smiling awkwardly at him. In the same second, a message came from my device that said:

"Waiting for you in the main hall, at the tables. There is business to discuss.
Layren."

I looked at him, and that tentacle pointed me where to go and we went together. This place was a separate big room, with an entrance through a door without a door? It looked like something like a scanner, but I didn't understand exactly what it was like (I'll try to explain briefly what "Doors without Doors" is. These are the usual doors for mimes that are created by their technology. At the top, in the doorway, there is a small device that is capable of making such doors. If you close such a door, with E.C.T, then the one who closed it can open it, although it depends on where and who closed it). Once inside, I sat down at the nearest table on a chair and looked away. James came up to me and asked me how I talked to the mime.

- It seemed to go pretty well. I think I should try talking to him some more and maybe I'll become friends.

- Heh, hopefully David won't be jealous that you're hanging out with another leader~

- James! How could you think of such a thing?

My cheeks turned red at that. Probably from the fact that someone else might have heard it. After a while, our whole team was at the tables, and Fred sat down next to us. The "door" closed and the mime stood in front of it, finding the room.
