It was another glorious morning outside. Sunlight streamed through what could be classified as a window in the wall of her cave-like room. She was happy when she woke up. She prepared the tea she always made for herself and a different brew for Yvaine. The past several days she'd taken the tea to her so that her leg would heal faster.

But after showering, dressing and heading to Yvaine's room, she found that the star woman's leg was by some miracle completely healed. She examined the leg herself and was astonished. Yvaine explained about Tonks and the magical ability to heal instantly and Ayla wished that she had a similar power.

Leaving Yvaine, she headed down to the cafe for some breakfast. She settled herself in a booth and a golem made of clay walked over to take her order. She ordered some poached eggs, a ham steak and a nutty bread toast with gooseberry jam. She waited patiently for it to arrive, sipping some cold milk and looking around at the other patrons of the restaurant. When it arrived, she smiled and thanked the golem who promptly turned and left her to her breakfast.

She buttered and jellied her toast, taking a bite out of it. She was still astonished at the idea that she didn't have to go find all this food herself. That it was already prepared was even more strange. She was used to having the hunters provide the meat for her, but she always had to prepare it. And she had to gather grains and roots to supplement their meat supply. For it all to be laid out in front of her with no work on her part other than requesting it, was altogether unnatural.

She hummed slightly under her breath as she ate, still watching the other customers in the cafe under the cover of lowered brows. She had been reprimanded many times by Creb not to stare. But staring in the Clan equaled eavesdropping. She was just observing, but she still didn't want to be caught in case these people also thought it was rude. She lifted her gaze to the door when she saw it open from the corner of her eye.

She recognized the broad, dark-haired man and, after swallowing the mouthful of food, she smiled and lifted a hand to wave.

Ayla's smile widened when it was apparent John also recognized her. As he made his way toward her, she took the opportunity to look him over. He was as handsome as he had been two weeks earlier when they'd gone fishing with Miguel and Doctor.

She motioned to the bench across from her in the booth. "Of course, please sit, John." She had put her knife and fork down and settled her hands in her lap. Her long legs were folded beneath her on the bench, Indian style. She was dressed in a more casual version of the clothes she'd worn to the Hurricane Party a few days ago. A leather fringed tank top and calf-length leggings.

"It's good to see you again as well. How have you been?" She asked as he sat down across from her. She motioned the golem over to take his order. It was morning, so she assumed he was hungry being that he'd walked into the cafe. Lifting a hand she ran it through the long waist-length blond hair she'd left loose this morning, tucking it behind her ears.

She was happy to be talking to someone she sort of knew already, rather than someone who'd just arrived on the Planet. It had been pleasant to talk to Max at the hurricane party because he hadn't just arrived and they could focus on talking about themselves rather than their predicament.

"It's good to see a familiar face. I seem to have a bad habit of running into the new arrivals." She quirked a smile and looked up as the golem ambled over to stand at the end of the table, waiting for John's order.
