Conversation Space II.

[powersthatbe]

As Thorne shared with the network, Travelers who vanish find themselves alone in a small room. But it doesn’t look quite as described last time. Paper lanterns hang in the corners, and a lemniscate of live, spicily scented blue roses traces a figure eight on the floor. A little marble plinth sits beside the looping roses, with a champagne flute balanced on it, pink, fizzy liquid quietly effervescing within. In place of the throne that was there before, each half of the loop holds a brown leather sphere - a yoga meditation-ball chair. They’re a little tricky to balance on.


The walls, floors, and ceiling are tiled, a prismatic fade from one color to another, each tile unique, just slightly different in hue than those around it, each colored line giving a sense that it belongs to a bigger pattern, but never revealing enough to allow anyone certainty about what that pattern might be. It is only a glimpse of a larger world… in this small, quiet space.

Han does think his big mouth might get him into trouble if he isn't careful. Whatever she is, she's gotta be stronger and everything...he's probably screwed if they ever get that chance. Still, he doesn't really show it.

"I guess I do have that." he replied. "So, when all this is over and done, we will get to go back home, won't we?" he asked.

"If I win... yes," she stresses, frowning slightly. "The others may not return you home. I want to ensure victory. You want to ensure safe passage 'home'. Therefore, you should help me win."

Han isn't sure if he should trust her or not...it's hard for him to do so, knowing what they're doing and how they're being manipulated. But, he can still reply in a way for now.

"If you don't decide to turn against us, and if it'll get me home, I'll see what can be done. It's going to take a while to trust you, though."

She frowns visibly at his words. "Betrayal is not in my being. That is LUNE's domain. I am not... particularly fond of LUNE. Though I understand trust is earned. I am not lying to you."

"Hopefully we'll get there. I think it's just a human thing...or gettin' jerked around and lied to a few too many times in my life. I'm willing to see what happens, though, see if I can get to that point." he replies.

"Then it shall be so. I look forward to working with you."
