I can't just keep a lamb in my room.

Iris!

Weaned? You know, not drinking mum's milk anymore.

[notdreaming]

Oh, right. Are you [ Kara Earth doesn't have an agriculture guild. ] Did you do a lot of farm work, before?

video;

[inhell]

Grew up on a farm.

video;

[notdreaming]

That's cool. [ Correct usage? Score! ]

So I guess it's better that she left the poor thing with you. I don't see why she couldn't find a place to put the thing before picking it up. Hasn't she ever had a pet before?

video;

[inhell]

Well... it was me who stole it. Mostly. She egged me on!

[notdreaming]

[ Kara cracks up laughing. When she finally calms down she nods understandingly. ]

If you need help building, I'm stronger than I look. But I still say you should have planned better before bringing home a new pet.

[inhell]

Don't you laugh! Poor thing, she might've starved in that pen.

[ But she's smiling too. ]

It's up to the maintenance crew, I think.

video;

[notdreaming]

I'm not! It's probably a good thing you stole her.

The maintenance crew isn't exactly pure muscle.

video;

[inhell]

Doesn't take too much muscle. Pile of wood and a bucket of nails.

video;

[notdreaming]

Really? I've never tried it before. [ They have machines for that sort of thing on Krypton. ]

video;

[inhell]

Never built anything?

video;

[notdreaming]

Never needed to. My family is mostly wealthy scientists. I lived a very privileged life before I came to Earth.

video;

[inhell]

No worries; a lot of people on Earth haven't.

video;

[notdreaming]

I do feel bad though. Here I am, expected to help people whose lives I can barely even imagine.

video;

[inhell]

Yeah, well. I think it's a pretty stupid system all told.

video;

[notdreaming]

Why's that?

[ She honestly wants to know. She could use an insider opinion. ]

video;

[inhell]

Because I want to go home.

video;

[notdreaming]

[ She pulls her knees up to her chin. ]

Yeah. Me too.

video;

[inhell]

....oh.

Right.

[ She remembers what Kara said. About home being gone. ]

video;

[notdreaming]

I wish there was another way. A way where nobody would get hurt.

video;

[inhell]

There isn't. Ever.

video;

[notdreaming]

I'm starting to get that impression. I suppose we should be grateful for the chances we're given. [ She supposes, but she doesn't really buy it. ]

video;

[inhell]

Grateful?

video;

[notdreaming]

Yeah. [ At this point Kara chooses to focus on her own angst. She is a teenager, after all. ]

I'm alive, aren't I? My family and friends are dead, my planet doesn't exist anymore, and I'm the last person alive with any memory of our culture, but I'm alive. [ The sarcasm is scathing. ] Thank Rao that someone is here to keep the memory alive. No pressure or anything.

[inhell]

Can you kill whoever did it?
