Uwaaaah.... which was I supposed to do next?

You know, after millenia(or at least what feels like millenia to her) of being told what to do, being turned loose to think for herself IS hard on a girl! Mostly because she hasn't had to think much, before, just had to do what she's been told.

Which isn't to say that she wasn't told to do things, but she was given a bit broader control over her life, as her directives are vague. 'Go to earth and help people' is really pretty vague.... they told her she'd figure out who to help, and who not to help, but she's still working on that. Her other orders are even more confusing, so mostly she just tries to help people for now.

.... which, since she wound up HERE, means things haven't exactly gone as she expected. After all, a good translation of 'help' around here is 'feed'. .... which leads to the sort of awkwardness you'd expect. Still, she's still around, so... things must be okay, right?

Standing a mere four and a half feet tall, this diminutive angel is just the right size for snacking on, for quite a few predatory types. She smells delicious, like lemons and honey, and she tastes much the same, albeit sweeter and creamier. Even her clothes are yummy! Her skin is soft, and smooth, and she's actually pretty weak, so she can't really escape most would-be preds. Oh dear...
