Uh-huh. But if I were to have stayed home and - cried a lot, or hit people because I felt like it, or otherwise abandoned all discretion in favor of following my base instincts, it wouldn't have any consequence other than the ordinary bad life choice consequences. It's different here. Why?
It just... is. [they say this sort of helplessly.] I don't really have an answer for you. I'd like to give you something more than that but it's really just - uh, it's just the answer is "sorry, it's magic!"
[they pat harrow's shoulder.] Most people here get mad when I dodge. Sometimes boundaries get you further than being nosy. Not that I'd know anything about that.

Well. Truly, all I wish to know is whether you are here out of your own choosing, or whether you are trapped.
no subject
It's - both, really, but hey. Do you not want me to touch you?
no subject
[She has to consider that for a moment.]
I'm not very used to it. I don't mind, it only caught me by surprise.

I'll be better about uh, telegraphing. If you want.
