Bee smiles, pleased to see him relaxing a little bit. "A place a lot like this one," she says. "Well. The waking world, I mean. No rifts or rifties that I know of, but otherwise, I haven't noticed any strong differences."

She scoots back a bit, moving carefully, not wanting to cause undue vibrations or startle him at all. She slips down onto her stomach, resting her chin in her hands, her legs kicking slightly behind her. She can be very like a child, when she feels complacent and calm enough.

"To be honest I rather like it here," she says. "Having come through. It's an adventure."
