About to knock on the door of her new temporary home, Deri's handshakes. The fairy uses magic to keep herself human form easily, but actually talking and living with humans is something she's going to need to learn to become accustomed to. Thrown in a situation all out of her choice from defending herself, and now it's as though she's being punished.

She looks at her shaking hand and starts becoming annoyed with herself. 'Ugh, why am I so nervous? They're just humans.' She sinks her head down, her purple and green eyes glaring at the wooden porch she stands on. 'This whole situation is beyond unfair, being punished foe defending myself. I just want to return home.' 

Deri thinks back at staying in her room in the fairy kingdom, reading plenty of spells even though her magic wasn't the strongest around. She had spent a fair chunk of her studies to go around that handicap by twisting an attacker's magic back at them, hurting them with their own magical strength. When the time had come she realized that the spells never took in the emotional aspects and how they'd affect the situation.

Leading to Deri standing in front of this red door, about to live with some strangers. 'Pfft, what am I worried about?' She starts chuckling to herself 'The humans will probably be too afraid I'll cast a spell on them!' Not that she'd be allowed to, but all a human would know is a magical fairy is being punished and has to live with them.

With the thought of some frightened humans at an all-powerful fae, she knocks on the stranger's door with confidence. Her eyes open wide a bit hearing scuffle on the other side. She stares at the door waiting in the silence.

A moment later and some louder thuds are making their way on the other side. The door is thrown open in front of Deri and she sees a woman wearing a purple vest, torn top, sleeved gloves and tight leather pants. Hair two shades of purple, shoulders and above held over Deri's eyes. She doesn't address Deri when she opened the door and turned inside yelling down the interior "If you're gonna order shit, at least get it yourself!" There's no reaction, and Deri just eyes her looking shocked to watch her finally address her. "Sup?" She says calmly lying her body against the door.

The woman starts scratching her head, leaning on the door, saying out "Huh, girl scout time already?" Deri goes from surprise to annoyance being talked down to "I guess that's a good thing, we have someone moving in here soon, so we could use some snacks." Deri not partaking in the annoying game this human stranger is roping at her, raises her duffle at her. "OOOH! Deri!" She stands fully upward looking down at the fairy girl "Sorry, it's just that the other fairies I've seen using that human size spell on themselves look much bigger than you." Deri can feel her patience being tested more and more "Well shorty, the name's Mari."

With a pat on the back, Deri jumps a bit and follows the taller woman in. The house's main room connects the kitchen and living room area, divided by the kitchen's one step elevation and the sofa acting as the border around the carpet looking at the television with a reading area in the corner across. Mari fiddles around with a chain accessory leaking out of her pocket as she waits Deri to pull her bag in.

"So over there's the kitchen, feel free to have whatever, there's a laptop on that table. Door outside, sofa if you ever want to see something just hop on, we try to do whoever's first gets to pick." Mari not fully prepared to translate from a fairy's lifestyle to a human one rambles on some extra details "Humans here sleep in beds, we each have a room, so just sleep in your own.."

Deri unable to contain her patience and ready to be alone hurries up the process of her host telling her "Y'know, fairies and humans have been established together for a long time. This long explanation of basic human needs is completely unnecessary to-" Deri's eyes having been closed for her comeback opens them mid rant and notices her hostess sitting on the sofa not listening to her and instead channel surfing.

Mari looks over noticing the speech ended and sees her glaring and asks "What? You said you got it." Deri's lip furls up and she stomps in place.

"J-just show me to my room!" Her anger, annoyance and some embarrassment all mixing into one.

Mari holds open the door "So here it is!" Light blue walls, pink empty shelving, purple door, Deri doesn't say anything but this room felt very much like a baby's room save for there being the bare mattress in the corner.

Deri enters while Mari leans on the open door watching her come in. Setting her luggage on the mattress she opens it up to start digging in for her new uniform she'll have to wear for this academy. Practically a prisoner's uniform to her for having to deal with this nonsense when she was just protecting herself.

"Yeah it's pretty empty, I couldn’t really fill it not knowing what you're into. I don't have to worry about you getting lost or hurt going to the store to fill it right?" Mari asks, whether a genuine question or not, Deri was sick of feeling like she was talked down to. Being forced here like a child, now constantly belittled.

She slams her luggage case back closed then turns to her new caretaker with an angry glare "Alright look!" She walks her way up to the woman holding her finger out at her "It wasn't my choice to live here, it wasn't my choice to come and deal with humans. I've been living on my own just fine long enough. Stop treating me like I'm some human daughter. In fact I'm older than y-" her rant is cut off as the hand that was pointing toward the taller woman is stopped by being grabbed by the sleeve gloved hand.

Her body is pulled into Mari's as Mari leans down to talk to her directly, eye to eye "Hehe, there it is. I could tell you were one of those stuck up fairy girls." Deri's face is mid panic not expecting her to talk to her so direct while she thought she had the upper hand "Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you can fight back, but you need to cut that high and mighty fairy shit or else you'll see how low you can actually be talked down to and treated." She releases her hand and Deri steps back to her bed holding the hand that was gripped looking at the woman whose energy switched back to carefree "So yeah, dinner'll be going soon. You don't have to worry about eating together or anything."

Mari exits the room, stretching her arms out and sticking them behind her head thinking about cooking or eating together and smiles to herself "Doubt that Myriam would even step out of her room with you here anyway." She happily hums to herself walking away.

Deri sits there, clearly unprepared for what she just dealt with. She had thought a human would be more wary of her, but it seems as though her appearance may’ve taken away any sort of threatening remark she could give. Her eyebrows focus down and she angrily scoffs at the situation and resumes unpacking her items, not planning on talking to anyone the rest of the day.
