[babydoll is feeling rather sociable today, finally feeling like she can ask a few more questions than she normally would. of course, that isn't much for her. she never likes to pry too much into peoples' personal lives unless they've given her the permission to do so.]

When I first offered, it was a while ago, so I'd like to offer once more. If anyone needs help with training or handling certain weaponry, I can help.

[she pauses, eyes wandering away from the device for a quick moment before focusing at the camera again.]

I was also wondering- what sort of things did everyone do before arriving in Exsilium? What type of jobs?

[it's also the fact that she's from a much earlier time than most of the transports around exsilium that's making her curious. living in the 60s only gave her so much leeway.]

That's good, though. No one should have to be here for too long.

[a beat,]

Unless you want to stay here.

[there's a long, long pause as something occurs to Tempest for the first time. Something that, while has been on her mind here and there, kind of just settled into place]

. . . I've nowhere else to go.

[paracosmic]

[babydoll's brows knit together, not in confusion, but a mix of surprise and pity.]

I- I'm sorry, I didn't know.

[hyanaimne]

[she blinks, a bit surprised herself at the apology, then shakes her head]

There is no apology needed, dear. It is not as though I said anything.

[paracosmic]

I know, but I always assume people have something to go back to, and sometimes they don't.

[sometimes this is all they have.]

[hyanaimne]

And yet those are understandable assumptions.

[paracosmic]

I still shouldn't be making any in the first place.

[hyanaimne]

[she shrugs] When one does not have the answers, that is all one can do, yes? I am not offended.

[paracosmic]

That's true. I hope you stay careful around here, Tempest.

If you need any help, just ask.

[hyanaimne]

. . . thank you. I will remember that, Babydoll. The same goes for you.
