There was an overcast, that much Eve could tell. It was a mixture of things, from the way the humidity hung low in the air mixed with its cool tint that dragged in the breeze, and finally with the lack of warmth against her flesh. No direct sunlight, no heat of the sun, and it was quite clear that the sun was hidden under clouds. How dense the cloud cover, how consistent would the overcast last? She wasn't sure, she couldn't tell. There was low chance of rain though, so she could at least anticipate the idea that she could walk about the park with little issue. That is assuming that the rain didn't decide to act against her, which she knew it often did.
Her cane lightly tapped the concrete pathways that had been inserted and shimmied into the earth, and as she followed the path she found herself quite aware of the quality of the pathway. It was a good distance wide, enough for three people to walk side by side, and it was made of carefully placed individual slabs, each one perfectly fitted to meld in place next to its neighbors. They were smooth, impeccably so, only shifting in height or oddly when the ground around it demanded it, choosing to adhere to the natural landscape more than the need for flat and straight pathways.
"The lake is just a bit further, Eve. I hear it's a popular swimming destination for locals, especially among the children." An accented voice spoke to her. Amari, one of her longstanding friends, a pilot that had shifted to Section Six alongside Eve, though Eve was most certain that Amari got quite a bit more interesting work, considering the massive differences in their skills, and what they were capable of doing. Though Eve was certainly trying to learn more and more and keep up with everyone else, the major thing she was skilled with was learning and speaking languages of other species and cultures, but that ability meant little when a machine could do the same job with far less effort. Still, she was paid enough to get by, and she wasn't one to complain. Maybe one day more and more of them would realize how it felt to be so easily replaced by nonthinking machines.
"Wonderful, let me know if any animals catch your eye, I haven't met all that many in a place like this." She hardly expected herself to be able to perceive a snake hiding among brambles or identify a bird up in its limbs, but the idea of Amari pointing a snake out and her focusing and possibly hearing the noises it made as it ruffled the grass and leaves among it excited her greatly. It was such a simple thought, but an animal like that, especially in the wild like in the expanses of trees and brambles of the park was something she would not otherwise experience.
"Of course, it's a busy day, lot's of people out, so there might not be much roaming in terms of wildlife." The duo walked along the path, a well-tread though well-maintained one, and their path brought them by Rorik, though neither one of them paid him much mind, considering how he didn't stand out among the busy crowds of the day.
