He shrugged a little bit. "I don't know. Earth, maybe." He replied, still working.

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded, starting to put the piece back in place, "Earth is a interesting planet, I can't believe there's that much water on one planet though."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded a little. "Yes." He agreed.

@gracehustle

"Why is it your favorite?" She asked, scowling at the ship as she struggled to get the piece of the controls back into its place.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev shrugged. "I was…created there." He replied slowly.

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded, curious and asking more questions, "I knew Alexi had a company there, but I didn't know he spent that much time there. Did you like it on earth?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

"He has a home there." He replied. "And I suppose I did, yes."

@gracehustle

"He grew up there, right?" She asked, turning around and starting to gather up the pieces they no longer needed. They could fetch a decent price at some scrap shops, and a little extra money was always handy incase anything came up.

@ElderGod-Icefire

He nodded. "Yes." He replied, still working. "He did."

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded, happy to learn more about a topic she didn't know much about, "Did you spend much time there? After he built you?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

He nodded again. "Yes. I learned most of my motor skills in his home. Some days he would take me to the gardens, or into the city."

@gracehustle

"What city?" She glanced over at him before taking all the pieces and tossing them just outside the control room to make the space a little less cluttered.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"London." He replied. "I think." He ran a hand through his hair, shaking his head for a moment.

@gracehustle

Thesa smiled, trying to imagine the city in her mind as she went back to work, "That's one of the biggest ones, isn't it? The one with the clock?" Already the space looked more like it did usually, without the makeshift parts. It reminded her more of when she had first pieced together the ship, with borrowed and stolen pieces before they had started fixing it up.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Yes. Big Ben, they call it." He replied. "It is on an island. England, it used to be called, though now, of course, most of Earth has united under one banner."

@gracehustle

"That's right," She replied, nodding as she tried to picture Earth, "It's in what was Europe, sort of close to..Paris?" Names of cities wasn't her strong suit, at least names of cities she hadn't ever been to. Earth always had interested her, but she had only been there a few times when smuggling things.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Sort of, I suppose. Paris was in France, though, on the mainland of Europe." He replied.

@gracehustle

Thesa tried to remember that information, trying to think of the island along England, "Oh…I was thinking of the city in Ireland. Dublin?" She had no clue if any of these names were right, but they felt right as she worked again.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Ah, yeah." Zev nodded. "Yes." he replied, glancing over at her for a moment.

@gracehustle

She nodded, quite proud of herself for remembering that from the maps she had seen and setting back to work, "Did you visit anywhere else on Earth?"

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded. "Yes. A city called New York, and Washington D.C., and Shanghai."

@gracehustle

"I've heard of New York," She said, carefully trying to replace some of the busted dials and gauges, "That's in what was America, with the statue of the lady."

@ElderGod-Icefire

"Yeah." Zev nodded his head. "Though the statue is falling apart now."

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded, "I heard that..it was a really pretty statue before it started falling apart, I've seen a picture of it."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Zev nodded again. "I've seen pictures as well." he replied.

@gracehustle

"What was Earth like when you were there last? They don't have specific countries anymore, do they?" She asked, curious and liking that they were having an actual conversation.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"No, they don't." Zev replied. "They all united under one flag perhaps…" he trailed off. "Fifty years before I was created."

@gracehustle

"Do they still have the old countries names? Or did they redone everything?" She didn't know a lot about Earth since it had united, it wasn't something she had learned about from her father.

@ElderGod-Icefire

"They use the old names to refer to places, yes." He replied, nodding.

@gracehustle

Thesa nodded, popping more pieces out and replacing them, "Do you think you'll ever go back and settled on Earth?"
