I know that we are here voluntarily, and as such this may seem like an odd question to ask...

How do you adjust to not only come from a different planet, but a universe where everything is different? Does it make you happy or do you feel ever more homesick? I have heard it said that something familiar changed only a bit can be more unsettling than something completely alien.

Hell no.

[athousandcurses]

No attachments make it easier?

[ewestmarch]

Every time.

[athousandcurses]

I've never been sure how to sever attachments.

[ewestmarch]

Stab them in the back. Steal from them. It's not hard.

[athousandcurses]

That would do it, I suppose. Is it as easy against someone you love?

[ewestmarch]

Apparently, yeah.

Emilia, are you all right?

[ewestmarch]

What?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm always fine.

[athousandcurses]

Are you sure...? I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories...

[ewestmarch]

I -

Look. I'm glad I left home behind, and that's all.

[athousandcurses]

I'm sorry...

[Grainne's voice is hushed.]
