[ Back when Ariane had the luxury of getting angry, some thousands of cycles ago, she'd get angry at precisely this. The Nation had sent Ariane out into space to die, sure -- but she also signed up for it, albeit unknowingly. They made Elster to die. They allowed her to meet one other person, with the understanding that, eventually, Elster would have to -

- she can't go there. Not right now. That would just ruin things. ]


I don't know, either.

[ Ariane admits, instead. The world is so huge, compared to the cryo pod.

The sign is a relief. The kiss is even better, and Ariane burrows in close, focused on Elster's presence above all else. When they're close to the inn's threshold, Ariane will gently slip out of Elster's arms, returning to her half-standing, half-leaning position, assuming it'll be easier to order food and a room that way. Sanguine Station is a much noisier, livlier place than Ariane's used to, and she's not afraid to openly stare at all the activity going on, even at the expense of realizing that others might try to talk to her. ]
