She headed toward what looked to be a large building akin to something from back home, It was both an impressive and slightly comforting sight.
She scanned the area with her eyes, ears and other senses. Trying to make sure she was in the right place as she headed toward the stone steps. As well as keeping her eyes open for any hint or sign of her missing friend or any one who might know more about the nexus or other things of necessity and importance. Another part of her wondered if they might have a snack bar or vending machine that took the money she had on her as her tummy rumbled softly as she neared the large doors.

She wondered if there were a place for missing posters, and looked around for one as she cautiously looked around after poking her head in, looking for a desk of some sort. "Ahem, excuse me, but I was wondering if there was a form or something to apply for a library card? " She half asks a bit rambly and nervous all of a sudden. She wasn't exactly sure why but she was worried for Sherlock and was in need of some information and uncertain about where and when to get things in this ever shifting environment.

She blinks and nods, "Ah naturally." She replies understandingly. And ponders possible ideas and things that might be of help.

She blinks back, ah she was gonna take that as a possible no.. till. ah. "ah yes I see. hmmmh yes it is. but ah not..only yet.." She half trails off slightly and clears her throat.

Adia lets out a little sigh of relief. It feels good to admit that. "We don't have magic, or aliens, or a quarter of the things the Nexus does. I don't want to scare anyone." She thinks about the Khan invasion a moment and shivers. "Or cause more problems than I solve."

Yet, despite not being familiar with magic or Earth fairy tales, she's quick to catch on to what Ash is implying. "They're real where you are from?" she asks curiously.

She blinks and nods, "ah, must have been but if a shock coming here then, yes?" She half asks half states gently. The poor lass.

She nods understandingly, "aye buying trouble is not a good thing. We have to protect our realms best we can. " She murmurs in agreement and a determined look. She'd been a protector or guardian in one form or another for most of her life now. And she would continue to do so, so long as she had a day in the matter.

She smiles softly and glances about again and nods slightly. "Aye, many of them. " She murmurs warmly and then there was the Multiverse outside of the known realms. With infinite possibilities and places. But she did not wish to over whelm her hopefully new friend.

"Ahem, and not all of them happen exactly as you might think or rather a lot of them intwine with each other in odd ways. " She murmurs in her storyteller voice. Her canine like ears rasieing up a bit more slowly.

As if testing her observational skills, and or reaction. She already took squeak's other form in stride after all.

"It was," she confirms with a nod. She's come a long way in the past three years, but she's not embarrassed by her initial fear and confusion. "I was dealing with a lot on my world, too... the Nexus, as much as it surprised me, was still a respite from everything that had happened."

She didn't know how dangerous the Nexus could be back then, though. The ignorance might have worked in her favor. She more than understands Ash's desire to protect her home. It sheds new light on why it's taken so long for her to talk about it.

"Ah, well, that won't matter much to me," she says reassuringly. "I'm barely familiar with those stories as is." She watches what looks to her as something poking up from under Ash's hood, and tilts her head thoughtfully. "Does that mean you're from a fairy tale, too?"

She blinks and nods. Completely understandable.
"I can imagine..and aye sometimes..ya need a breather before you get burnt out." She replies knowing somewhat how that could feel. At least being out of your element sometimes. Weird was sort of par for the course.

She blinks and tilts her head, "Ah I see. " She murmurs. She softly lets out a cough of a breathe. "Well if there is I've not see one with my name in ti as of yet." She murmers softly with a slight shrug. But something in her eyes/posture seems.. sad..feels left out. And then she rolls her shoulder and gives her a small smile.

"This place is good for that," she agrees. She pauses and adds with a wry smile. "Sometimes."

She peers at Ash, trying to understand the source of her sadness. There's no way that Adia would ever want to be the subject of a fairy tale or myth. That would mean countless strangers knowing her personal story, or at least one version of it. But she supposes that if everyone around you has some fame attached to their name, it can feel like you are being left out. "Oh. But, um..." She bites her lip, not sure how to ask politely. "Do you have magic powers? Or... fairy powers, I guess? It seems like most of those stories involve a lot of magic..."

She sighs softly and shakes her head, wryly after a moment. Perhaps she could help John with one of his projects when they got Sherlock back or..whatever. She imagined the pair and several of the others would wanna go back to Victoriana someday.

She knew she and Dor wanted to go back to Mist Haven one day, the quote unquote Modern World was not the permanent place for them. She missed being able to travel for one. Especially with a group.

She wryly chuckled, "Aye I bet." She could diffidently do with a recharge.

She blinks, "um well some..not the fairy sort..there..not a being on my family tree. " She informs her. True the fairy godmothers under Blue weren't encouraged to fall in love and the rest. But she knew their were Fae in various realms that did. She had her suspicion that it was another form of control or some such. Sacrifice for a power base or some such. Even if the in StoryBrooke 'Mother Superior ' she was also suppose to be on the side of good. She only helped certain folks.

Leaving healers, oracles and the like to help the others..or for them to make desperate deals and dangerous quests. Her nose twitches at the thought.

She smiles softly at Aida though. "There's various sorts, " She nods softly. "Items and flora and fauna. " She lists off warmly. the tip of her tail starting to grow out again and wagging a little under her large coat. "course most of the folks where I'am from have various views on the subject and all magic comes at a price..of various kinds. " She both informs and warns her least say she runs into someone less kinder and cares not who gets hurt or effected by potions and such.

"Oh, sorry if I misspoke," she says quickly, after Ash explains that her lineage does not include fairy blood. She notices the nose twitch and hopes she didn't offend her, either. More than one person has explained to her how dangerous fairies could be, playing by rules that did not often align with human morals. "We don't have any stories or myths of fairies, where I'm from. I'm still, um, learning what that term encompasses..."

She can certainly use a good warning about its price. She's gotten a little complacent in her views of magic. She has friends who use it without any sort of problem.

It's obvious she's curious about what kind of magic Ash does have, if not fairy magic, but she's not going to pry. Ash would have told her if she wanted to share right there and then. "Your world makes mine sound rather plain," she admits with a small smile. "All we have are spaceships and sentient robots. It must have been a lot easier for you to get used to the Nexus."

She blinks and then moves quick to reassure her. "oh that's alright..it's just kinda important distinctions." She murmurs in a reassureing and quick tone.

She blink and tries to think of how best to word things she'd haven't had to do this for a bit. "Ah well..I know Sherlock might prefer your more science based one if ya ask me. " She murmers warmly with a soft smile. "Do ya'll got holodecks too?" She asks curious and intrigued.

"No, I-- I'm getting that now. I understand." It doesn't matter what Ash's background is to her, anyway. Her only personal hang-ups are with robots, and even there, she's overcome her fears and made friends with a few of them.

"Is that right?" She hums thoughtfully. "Detective work often requires forensics... I'll keep an eye out for him when I'm in the science section, then. I'll let you know if anything seems out of place."

As for holodecks, she shakes her head. "No, we don't unfortunately." She grins a little. "We have an entertainment room. I play a lot of foosball."

She smiles softly and nods, "okey doke." She replies congenially.

She hums in the postive. "mmhhmh. Indeed it does." She replies with a small smile pleased someone else understands. "Thank you I'd appreciative it greatly." She states sincernly.

"Ah I see..ooh foosball's fun." She states warmly she rather liked that game.
