"Our planet was destroyed. I was away when it happened, so I have no clue who did it, but when I returned, all that was left were the broken fragments of our home."
The glow in her eyes dimmed.
"I... Haven't been able to find anyone else. I don't know if anyone survived."
Pandora
"Did... Something happen to your people?"
He looked concerned. That wasn't good. This sort of thing was always horrible on its own and often forboding.
"Knowhere... Alright, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks."
She sighed softly and nodded.
"I figured that would be the likely case. Not many of us left, I imagine."
"Nope, not that I recall. Maybe once, but I've been to this space port called Knowhere - a giant Celestials head carved and reinforced into a planetoid..."
He sighed, yammering on too long.
"Ah sorry, what I mean to say is I may have and don't remember, but definitely not on Earth."
Her eyes widened.
"Really? Huh. I wonder if my parents knew."
She tilted her head.
"I didn't know about it, but I bet it'd be fun."
"But no, just exploring, to be honest. You haven't seen more of my kind around, have you? That would probably be having too much luck..."
Pandora
"Ah - I see. Pandora. Neat. That's a word on our world in out language. Neat coincidence."
Slipping around to hang upside-down, he watched her from a short distance.
"Tourist? Yeah I get that. But the Annual International Food Festival isn't until next week."
"Definitely not from here." She blinked and shook her head. "No, I'm afraid I've never met them before, but I do have a ship."
She bowed slightly, three fingers over her heart. "I'm Pandora."
Pandora
"Uhh... Oh hai! You look like you are NOT from around here. Did you come here with a guy with a weirdly shaped chin or a raccoon by any chance?"
