[this is where she pauses, lets some of the nerves show again, a flicker.]
...You said Miss Victoria had something that interested you. And from what I heard, it helped you survive. What was it?
[and before she can be interrupted.]
I have no wish to take it from you. And even if I did, I'm sure you'd kill me so clearly that even this place couldn't bring me back. But where I came from, I'm not sure if I count as living or dying myself. It'd be enough to know that somewhere in reality, there's hope - so I can pretend somehow I can find something like it in my realm, if that me ever gets out of her own cage.
[she's going to quit while she's ahead, on that one, and just slowly nods. smiles a little, as if to say it was worth a shot. guess she'll have to solve that particular conundrum of life and death on her own.]
Thank you.
[and that's all she's come to learn. but for a more concrete piece of gratitude, later, she'll drop a coffee off for Jenny. it's the kind from the actually good beans that this ship has, so she hopes it'll suffice for properly thanking a goddess.]
