Hopper had warned her, before they'd come here. There's another girl. Not like her in the way that she had powers, but like her in the way she'd needed a family. Eleven tries to keep that in mind when she meets her.

She'd needed a family, too. Just like Eleven.

She doesn't expect the red hair, or the freckles. She doesn't expect her to look like she could be Max's sister. Not like Max, not exactly. But like her the way that Nancy looks like Mike.

And just like Max, it's hard not to feel jealous when she sees her. This girl she doesn't know has crept into the hole of El's absence, and it stings to see her. No matter how much she knows the words Hopper has said, it stings, and she frowns at the girl when they're finally face to face.

"...Hi," she says.

"Those are good choices," Beverly says with a grin. "I like those, too." There hadn't actually been a mall back in Derry, and she'd rarely left the town's limits. Here, it's far more accessible. "I like... riding my bike. Anything outside, really. Going to the boardwalk."

A thought occurs to her then, brow raising a bit. "Have you ever been to the beach?" Knowing what she knows about both Hawkins and Eleven, she doubts it. That's definitely something they're going to have to change.

"Yeah, it's like... right beside it?" Beverly pulls a face, unsure how best to describe it. That, too, is something they didn't have back in Derry, but she's long since gotten used to it as a fixture of Darrow, and it's beautiful even when it's cold. A thought occurs to her, and she fishes her phone out of her pocket. "Here, I can show you."

It only takes a moment to search for 'boardwalk,' an assortment of images coming up. Holding her phone out for Eleven to see, she says, "It's really nice, especially when the weather is warm. There's food, and games, and little shops."

"Like the mall, yeah," Beverly says with a grin. "Just outside, and by the beach." Having grown up with neither, she's found that she likes the boardwalk more than the mall, but she's always been outdoorsy. They sort of have different purposes, anyway. If she needed to buy something, she would go to the mall, but just to hang out, at least in the warmer months, she would opt for the boardwalk.

"And definitely," she adds, nodding. "We can both go. It's a lot of fun, I think you'll like it."
