But there's somewhere to find redemption

James, in his LED coat, with his mom and sister on either side. Lee had said he had a meeting to go to, so he couldn't make it. At least when he would be over, James now knew for sure that all he needed was to show his guest blue and they'd know they were safe.

Archie had called ahead when they'd gotten close. There hadn't been a need for a name to call his new guest, since they wouldn't understand him. James kept a hand on the remote for his lights. When the door opened, a thin male Novaxan peaked his head in nervously. Blue flickered hastily across his head. When James turned on the blue light, and followed it with flickering green, a smile lit up the young Nova's face. Blue and green came in a wave, along with several chattering sounds. Deeper ones came from behind him, as the door opened. Archie gave a nod in greetings.

"Hello, James...and, I believe I've not met your family."

James gestured to the women. "This is our mother, Terri, and this is my sister, Sally."

Sally gave a sheepish smile. Archie shimmered a teal color. "Ah...the human who was with you that day. I see... Pleasure to have met you. If you will, James, I would like to show your new guest around."

James flashed blue with a smile. Archie laughed, and the male Nova flashed a bright green. He pointed at James, chattering several times. Archer responded before leading him to his new room.
