Her head nods along with his words, finding that they're the same things she'd told herself when she'd first moved to Halo. "Precisely, although it's obviously still a work in progress." Smiling, she adds of the snow, "And miserable for those who don't."

Elizabeth is happy to hear when Niki doesn't immediately shy from the topic of therapy, although she's silently curious if he would find it beneficial himself, but that's a question for people who have shared more than a single meal.

She has a million other questions, but she starts with these few just to prove a point, amusement sparkling in the playful sheen of her eyes.
