    ... ponytail, and their eyes were a cool and shining silver.
    
    Caitlin was just stunned for a moment, until they forced themselves to speak.
    
    "You were looking for floatberries as well? Me too!"The two accidentally spoke at the same time, causing both of them to laugh.
    
    "I'm Caitlin." Caitlin extended their hand to the upside-down humanfolk. "What's yours?"
    
    "I'm Kaelin." Kaelin returned the handshake strong and firm. "I don't often come across others near this bush."
    
    "Same here, though I don't usually come around this time either. Are you here often?"
    
    "Yeah. I decided to rush by here today because of a pie I promised to make some pals."
    
    The two talked for a while and found out they had a lot of stuff in common. Very similar interests, similar homelives, the two even both worked as nuns, albeit at separate churches. They were of the same faith though, and they both had similar fears about how this area was just a bit too close to Sky. It made Caitlin relieved to know there was someone with similar views and fears to them, making them lose track of the time.
    
    "By The One, it's getting late!" Caitlin finally noticed the time. "My friends must be waiting for me by now!"
    
    "You're right!" Kaelin was just as shocked. "I was enjoying myself so much I forgot to keep track of time!"
    
    "Guess that's another thing we have in common. Want to meet back here again sometime?"
    
    "I'd love to!"
    
    After the two shook hands, they immediately flew off into separate ...
    ... directions. They left so quickly, in such a hurry to entertain their guests, that neither noticed where the other was truly going...
    
    The dinner came and went, but Caitlin couldn't help but think about Kaelin. It had only been a few minutes, but without them, it didn't truly feel like all of their friends were with them then. They kept thinking about them into the night, and even as they purified sinners during the next day. Their heart pounded with anticipation whenever they thought about Kaelin; they just knew they had to see them again.
    
    So the first thing they did after the church closed was fly straight towards the floatberry bush above their house. They didn't even bother changing out of their nun's habit, figuring that Kaelin wouldn't mind the clothes.And just as they arrived they smiled, for who else had just arrived but Kaelin themself.
    
    "You couldn't wait too!?""You couldn't wait too!?"
    
    The two spoke the same thing at the same time, making them laugh hysterically. This day was going to be great.
    
    And indeed it was. The two talked for hours on end about too many things to count. Hours seemed to fly by like mere minutes as they conversed with each other, making the two wish that this could last forever.
    
    "I should visit you sometime," Caitlin said. "Then you could teach me to make those special floatberry muffins you talk about."
    
    "Oh you can visit anytime you want," Kaelin said with a smile. "My house is right below this floatberry bush so come ...
