I can't rightly say if I agree with them. [She smiles though, she's not being entirely serious at the moment.

Her eyebrows raise a little and she can't help but be a little surprised by his show of concern.]

I am now, but thank you for asking.

[She hesitates a moment before continuing.]

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe we've met before. I'm Inara, Inara Serra.

[Well, that would certainly do it. But yay! He can go outside now!]

Oh! Well, welcome to Asgard. That's probably not something you really want to hear, but...

[She'll just stop there and move right ooooooon.]

It's lovely to meet you, Angel. How are you settling in so far?

[His attitude makes her eyebrows raise a little, though not in a bad way... She's not met many who are... Actually decent right after their arrival. She finds it refreshing.

She smiles.]

It does. I found myself among... friends I hadn't expected to see again. Have you been lucky enough to find people from your home here?

[Her head angles a little to the side.]

I like to think of this as a... vacation, I suppose. From what I understand, when we're sent back to our homes, we're returned to the exact moment we were took from. If that's true, perhaps that will give you a little comfort and let you at least attempt to enjoy things here?

Well yes, that's exactly what I mean. Though I must warn you, they might be from a different time than you. Asgard likes to pull us from all over time and space.

[She flashes him an understanding smile.] There's no need to apologize to me, truly. I understand.

It can be, but over time you get use to how confusing things can be.

[Mostly.]

It was! I don't get a chance to speak it as often as I would like. Do you speak it?

Then you'll fit in fantastically.

[Which might be good? Better than fighting everything.]

I must admit I'm jealous. I've only read about China, so I can only imagine how lovely it was.

As much as I would love to do just that, it isn't at all possible. You see, where I'm from, humanity hasn't lived on Earth for quite some time.

Really.

[Now that causes her eyebrows to raise.]

No, it was just... used up. We depleted its resources and so it couldn't sustain us anymore. Why would you ask about an apocalypse?

Oh, I see.

It's truly not as bad as you'd imagine. We've managed to terraform many planets and moons to resemble Earth in some way. The planet I'm from, Shinon, is very lovely.

Hopefully you'll be able to get some rest while you're a guest here.

The planets or the actual living in space? [She does understand what he's asking though. She smiles and then gestures with her hand.] Space, it's lovely. Living on a ship can be a quiet thing... Or rather crowded, depending on the crew you're with and... Well how long you're out there.

[Her head tilts a little to the side.] I quite miss it.

[She studies him for a moment, trying to figure out exactly what he's saying.] I hope you don't mind me asking.... But was there a reason you weren't able to be up during the day?

You never know. The ingenuity of the human race has never been lacking.

[She nods slowly.]

Ah, well, perhaps here you'll be able to find a job with better hours?

[She caught that little slip up and it does cause her eyebrows to lift a little, but she won't say anything about it... Yet.]

What sort of skills do you possess, Angel?
