Good evening.

[Ky smiles at the Vine, polite and distant.]

Is there anything I can do around here that would be productive?

Besides petting the cats or building simply for the sake of building...

[As a police officer she was used to being far more busy. Not that she wished for more crime, but she did need a better way to occupy herself than just going through the library. The contents of which were...questionable. She'd gone exploring, but in the places where she felt she might learn something from her senses tingled with the threat of unnecessary danger. That hadn't stopped her, but she wanted something more.]

Alternatively, does anyone wish to talk about the world they come from? Or what they do there?

[As a temporary distraction it might mean something, and perhaps she would learn a useful fact or two.]

[The smile, formal as it had been, drops off of her face, and she ends that message to filter a different one to Dizzy.]

Dizzy. I want to apologize. In person if you're alright with it -- I can meet you somewhere.

I don't need to be hired by them to help others, though.

[reverentresistance]

Oh, of course not.

It's just that your function seems similar, that's all.

[spacejumping]

It was... long ago, but there was a time when was officially a part of their army.

[reverentresistance]

Oh? Then what happened?

[spacejumping]

Sorry, but I'd rather not go into too much detail about that.

[reverentresistance]

[Ky's curious, but she nods. It's not really relevant to here, is it?]

Alright.

[spacejumping]

Let's just leave it at me being young, and foolish.

[reverentresistance]

I see.

I've had lots of experience with that myself.

[spacejumping]

How much of that experience was unwanted?

[reverentresistance]

[Ky shifts, a little uncomfortable.]

Some people died because I didn't know what I was doing.

[Or maybe they would have died anyway. It was hard to tell with wars. But Ky bore their deaths on her conscience.]

[spacejumping]

There's only so much that can be done.

[reverentresistance]

Of course. But it can almost always have been more.

[spacejumping]

It could've, but it's too late now. All you and I can do at this point is continue moving forward.

[reverentresistance]

Yes. I do my best to remember that.

[spacejumping]

Good.
