"Its food." Numa said simply.

"Bio Feed. There's nothing living on this planet except us. We used to gnaw at some of the natural resources, until someone invented this stuff." Numa explained.

Numa nodded. She took some Bio - Food of her own, and swallowed it. "Now you."

Shia did so, chewing carefully.

"Would you prefer to walk, or do you want me to carry you?" Numa asked.

"well... I wouldn't be able to catch you up so I'd prefer to be carried." Shia asked.

Numa picked up and popped Shia onto her shoulder. She used her hands to help Shia make herself comfortable.

Shia was comfy, but she was a little disorientated at the fact that she was small.
