She nods in understanding at Noah’s comments. In reality, that’s all they were all trying to do, wasn’t it? Simply trying to find what worked and continue doing it until it stopped working and they needed to find another way to go about things. Adapting, certainly was the key to survival. But as Noah mentions he doesn’t know anyone else in Caido or outside of Halo that has a similar position, and her face twists a bit as she considers it, a deep inhale paired with it. “Actually…” She hums, before her iceberg gaze slips back toward Noah. “The Grounds have Advisors for Outlanders and Naturals that take their people’s positions into consideration for the main head of it. Perhaps it might be worth seeking out?” She questions with a tilt of her head.

It’s a thought that she lets sit in the air a bit before she comments on the idea of Halo and what else they could create and imagine for Halo and all the wonders within to prosper. “Ah, yes, he’s mentioned it to me.” She chimes with a wider grin, flashed his way as she closes the book and settles into giving him all of her attention – angling her body toward him to face him more fully. “He’s very excited about it, a bit nervous that people won’t like it, but he really just wants to help. He’s… Very kind in that way, using the things he’s familiar with to try and help where he can.” Her smile grows a touch fond as she speaks of her boyfriend.

the things you've done, come to you in the night

and whisper 'you lied, you lied'
