Location: Nature Deck
Time of day: Midday
Warnings: Potential diabetes

After having hidden away for the majority of the previous week, Fluttershy was all too happy to give herself a proper stretch of the wings, and move around the satellite without any worry of anything spooky or dangerous popping out at her. Though... to be perfectly honest, she still wasn't entirely sure what to do, around here.

Oh, everypony was very nice, that much had been made quite clear, and Fluttershy really did like all of them. But adjusting was hard, in this big metal construct, when she was so used to being outside, with flowers and sunshine and animal friends... But when she started thinking like that, it made her sound unappreciative! No, Fluttershy just wished that things were a little more... in her comfort zone, was all...

With a quiet whoosh, the doors to the new deck rushed open, and the pastel creature gave a small gasp. The space was small, but it was lush with grass, and bushes, and—oh, it was the most green she had seen in ages, and just the sight of it warmed her heart. Her eyes lit up at the sight of creatures running through the foliage, and suddenly, everything felt much better. The Nature Deck; she could get awfully used to spending time here.

As the doors opened, there was a high, sweet tune far in the distance. Fluttershy wasn't the only one who was making major use of the Nature Deck and its escapism from the cold, unforgiving metal of the Satellite.

Saria sat under a tree in the back of the deck, playing a little clay ocarina that she came upon by pure luck on the Theater Deck. She'd never played a clay ocarina before, and the new instrument took some getting used to, but as much as she missed her own wooden one she wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth, and the tone of this ocarina was simply beautiful.

She was so wrapped up in the music that she didn't hear someone enter the deck, nor did she notice her fairy guardian fluttering out from under her hair and hovering over her head, seeming to watch the newcomer curiously.

The sound of music only added to the pleasant atmosphere, and Fluttershy was invariably drawn towards the source. She recognized the little girl from over the network, though she'd been awfully quiet.

The little Pegasus faltered a few steps away. She certainly knew what it was like to want to avoid others, especially when she was focusing on music. It wouldn't do to interrupt or bother her. But, the tune from the instrument was so sweet and pleasant, and Fluttershy didn't quite want to leave, either...

Unable to come to a decision, she ended up just giving the little glowing creature a nervous smile, and hovering a few steps away.

Saria still didn't take notice of what was around her until she finished her song, finally opening her eyes and taking note of the Pegasus that was now before her.

"Oh! Hello." she offered a friendly smile, much more relaxed here than outside on the network.

Being finally noticed made Fluttershy jump a little, and she glanced around, wondering quickly if she should have actually left, or hidden, or maybe...

....Oh. Maybe it was all just fine, too.

Expecting a much more reserved welcome, Fluttershy blinked, and gave a much more reserved smile. "Ah, hello there. I, um. Didn't mean to interrupt, or anything, but... your music was very nice."

"Oh, that's okay. I don't mind. I'm glad you enjoyed it." she smiled sweetly at Fluttershy, hoping she was encouraging; she knew shyness well, while she may be more at ease now.
