What Home? (Pm to join)

"Ugh! Is dealing with other people always this irritating?" I murmured in annoyance as the intruder was escorted out and most of the security contingent left with him, except for Jaylah.

I stared at her for a long minute.
If it's true that everyone would be seeking to use me as a political pawn, the face of campaigns I've yet to even understand, I would not be led blindly nor would I let these people abuse my good will. Finally, I mumbled to her, "I don't care what you do as long as I'm left to sleep in peace for a few hours and don't open my eyes to find my life in danger again."

That said, and my relaxing nightcap ruined, I stood and gestured to Two to bring me a towel. I turned my back on the obviously flummoxed soldier woman as I took my time drying off, then took a leisurely looking, well thought out, stroll to my nightie. I took it and turned around, facing her to see the indecision in her features just before lifting the silky fabric above my head and slinking into it. I prevailed to ignore her, making it plainly clear I was finished dealing with people for the day and honestly did not care whether she stood there all night or walked away, I said goodnight to my favorite robot whilst climbing the vine ladder to my hanging bed.

OOC: Still nothing? (Sigh) ...missing out on chances to creatively reply or jump in...So, I'll write on and you both only have yourselves to blame as the scene changes...

I.C.:

I wasn't sure if Laylah stayed or left, I'd been so tired I went to sleep rather quickly in the odd bed. By the time I got up to try figuring out the use of the facilities I saw all three of my robots buzzing about, getting my outfit for the day ready. "Is it morning already?" I asked with a yawn.

Two beeped before replying in mom's voice, "Our chronometers say it is 6:45 ship time. It is morning but you have some time to sleep yet if you would like to."

I considered this, yawned again and climbed back up to bed, just for a while longer...

I was awakened a short while later as two women similar in appearance to the ones I'd met the day before, but loaded with intimidating looking weaponry and armor, came to my quarters and waited for me to finish changing into my day clothes.

Thankfully, they'd brought me breakfast on the go, a warm handheld pastry which had nutty cream and chocolate spread inside it. It was sooo yummy! I ate while we walked to some office where I was told I'd be properly interrogated and examined, then lunch, then a physical examination by medical professionals, then a cultural briefing on what to expect among the locals and their culture, then if all was cleared, I'd be allowed out for dinner and perhaps could even be venturing planetside as early as tomorrow.

"Alright..." I said, still taking it all in but wanting to appear in control of things. "Will there be something to drink at this office we're going to?" I asked.

"Oh,of course, Ms. Temple. Hot coffee waits. And, more pastries, if you like that one." Said the senior of the pair with a wink as she watched me make quick work of the one in my hand while we walked along, two guards, me, and my three robots taking up the rear of our party. We were at our destination within just a few minutes.
