The Battered and Torn » Places

         Leyla was waiting at the lobby. She knew the feelings of new changeling when they escaped and it is her job to help them get into their new life very slowly and calmly. She gave the new guy as long as it takes for him to gather himself up and arrange his thoughts. Which took him several hours, she chuckles. Well, it took her an hour at least either to believe it isn't a dream or something magically from her keeper that she just dreamed she escaped. Some new changeling she met did thought it was a dream.

Suddenly, the new guy came downstairs humming a tune. She smiled and walked to him very calmly and slowly and approached him, "Well, I see you feel good now.... Now, for the question where you are. You are back. You came back from Arcadia, you were captured by the Fae, which are mischief and evil as you might experienced there with your capture. Or as we like to call it 'The Keeper'. We all here around you were once been captive by Them, and we managed to escape just like you. You are now back in the human world, but as you've seen your reflection and ours "true" look, we are not exactly humans either. We call ourselves Changelings, humans who were taken by the creatures of the Fae and escaped but we changed during our captivity, we got as some say 'gifts' or 'curses' as others say".
She always starts like this, and she becomes quiet for a moment to let it sink in for him, and meanwhile thinking what else to say. Than she decided to do it by questions and answers, "Ok, what questions do you have that I didn't answer yet?".
