You two doing alright?

I'll be in Mahogany tonight. Are you and Ironhide still in town?

When you've been in this world long enough to see and do everything it has to offer, what's left? How do you spend the rest of your time here when there's nothing left to do?

Right. Sure it won't.

And your answer's right there. My home. That's what I'm so desperate to get back to.

[The people she left behind...or the ones that have been sent back. Maybe this world gave her more friends and another family, but she wants to go home. As crazy as it is these days, it's home.]

Are you expecting it to go somewhere while you're gone?

[soggypastry]

No. I just want to get back before anything can happen to it. I belong there, not here.

[doitrockapella]

And you're angry because this world seems to think otherwise.

[soggypastry]

If you've got that much figured out, why even bother asking?

[doitrockapella]

If you're going to be this hostile to everyone who tries to hold a conversation with you, why even bother asking?

[soggypastry]

Because I'm not after conversations about my private life. Just answers. Do you need a better reason?

[doitrockapella]

You're after answers that you don't believe exist. So either you're wrong about there being nothing left for you, or you're lying now.

Either way, it's not the most advantageous position to be occupying in a discussion.
