Reaching down, Sonya picked up her bag again and slung it over her shoulder. She hadn't brought much from home. Only her padd, and a few small, personal items. She had left all her old clothes behind, purchasing new ones once she arrived at the spaceport. Everything she now owned was in that one small bag, and Sonya liked it that way. How could one set out on travels if they brought everything with them? How could she expect to start a new life if she dragged all the remnants of her old life along behind her?
Feeling fiercely rebellious and independent, Sonya stepped forward and followed Blu toward his shuttle. She was wearing shoes for the first time, and distinctly liked the feeling they gave her. In them she seemed more human. She felt more elegant and graceful, but most of all she felt strong. Wearing these shoes somehow made her feel as if she could run for miles and miles and never tire, even though she'd never run farther than three meters before now.
There were other mermaids on the spaceport, but they all went around barefoot. Sonya wore shoes. She wasn't like them. She wasn't one of them. She wasn't a mermaid anymore. She was Sonya, crew member of the Echo, and she was about to join her captain to fly off and have fantastic adventures.
