exsilium | one. [ voice ]

[ it's been a month and mithos has gotten pretty situated here. however, other than getting used to the new place when he could (aka when they're not being transported somewhere else) he hasn't really ... done much else.

and that has included meeting others and getting to know them. and now that the person he really knew from back home seemed to have been avoiding him a week or so ago he feels... lonely.

perhaps a bit more than he should. and within that a pile of other emotions that come with it. he's doing a good job trying to suppress them but it's only a matter of time.

but as an attempt to rid of them, a question. ]

How easy is it for some of you to make friends? Or even become acquainted with someone. I know some people find it easier than others, so if you find it easy what is it that makes it easy for you?

[ he already somewhat knows the answer to the other side of the question. and there is always the 'i don't care' answer but that is one he doesn't want to hear right now.

there is a small pause ]

And what do you do when you're alone with no one to talk to.

[ because he certainly feels like he has no one to talk to right now. maybe it's partially why he's making this? ]

They hate others just for being different. It's ... sad. But if it really is easier to make friends here then maybe I will try a bit harder to make a friend or two.

Mmm hmm, it is. Trust me, I had no friends up until a little over a year ago. Then I made a few back home, and now? I'm making a lot more.

No friends... it must have been very lonely. [ he at least had his companions. ] It's good you're making more. I kind of hope the same. [ but at the same time ... ]

Yeah, it was. And you will. You can start with me. I'm Lena.

Ah. I-It's a pleasure to meet you, Lena. My name is Mithos.

Hi, Mithos. Are you new here?

I've been here for about a month now. How long have you been here?

Two months so far.

[ so a month before him ]

How long did it take you to meet someone you can call a friend?

Like... a week, maybe? Or a bit more.

Mm. That's good to hear. It means you weren't alone here for long.

True, but I was used to being alone before, so this is just a nice change.

Having people around to speak to is far better than being alone. It's good that you were able to have that change.

Yeah, it is. You will too.

Yes. Thank you for everything you've said and done, Lena. I'm grateful.

[She smiles to herself. People here were welcoming to her, so she's passing it on.]

I'm glad I could help.
