Val stepped off her ship and immediately into swampy goo. With a grimace, she yanked her foot out, swatting away at mosquitos. Of course, she had to land in the most swampy area around. Val had read up on Mutanda, knowing that there were rainforests and lot of forestry all around. However, she had forgotten the kind of climate that entailed. Val cursed out loud. She looked down to find Raziel blinking at her curiously.
"Uh...I didn't say anything.."
The boy gave her a quizzical look. Val scowled at him.
"You're way too sly for your age.."
She had come to Mutanda to meet with Sheng. He had handled her pregnancy quite well, so he would handle the news of her marriage well...right? Val grimaced at the thought of his disapproval. She would have come to Mutanda for nothing. Val waited for a shuttle to take her over to the Winters mansion. As she glanced around, she was shocked at the number of Horansi all around her. It wasn't the fact that they were all Horansi that shocked her, it was the fact that she felt right at home. Having grown up around Kasa Horansi and Cathar meant she felt extremely comfortable around them. Of course, she most likely stood out as the strange human among the lot.
The shuttle took only minutes to get there, taking her right near the estate. Val stepped out and had to marvel at its size. What was it with her friends and being rich? She still lived in crappy little apartments. Val shook her head, quickly distracted from her thoughts when Raziel poked her for attention. She looked down at him and he pointed to the ground.
"Walk!"
"Oh come on.."
"Walk!!!"
"It'll take us 80 years to get to the front door!!"
After a comical argument between the two, she finally set him down. Raziel was developing surprisingly quick. He was over a year old and walking as if he had been doing it for a while. His speech still had to develop quite a bit, but his confidence was becoming more of a source of concern than anything. Val slowly followed as Raziel happily wandered around, stopping every five seconds to inspect everything on the ground. Any attempts at putting anything in his mouth were thwarted, much to his displeasure. Val looked down at the time, realizing that he was slowing her down considerably.
"Okay that's it."
Val scooped him up and quickened her pace, ignoring his complaints. She ignored him till she arrived and the front door, setting him down. He quited down instantly, his yellow eyes curiously peering up at the door. Val knocked on the door, wondering who would answer. She quietly hoped to run into Sonam on this trip.
