So! This may seem like an unusual request, but I'm looking for friends. Friends with benefits, actually. I know that may sound strange, but I miss being close to someone. All are invited to apply, if that makes sense. I want to know whom I'm dealing with before I say yes to anything.

[and a Mona Lisa smile] And is it strange to spend more than five years bouncing between worlds? Who else has been through this? [a teasing smile] You don't necessarily have to be auditioning for the first role to answer, I promise.

Oh.

[ OH. ]

I see.

I don't know how you endured such a thing. I don't know that I would have had the same strength. My family was much more... strict on their beliefs about who to do those sorts of acts with. It would have been difficult to overcome.

[dryly] I very nearly didn't. It tried everything it could think of to break me. But it couldn't.

And my mother was terribly strict about it as well. She made the mistake of running away to marry my father when she'd had a husband 'arranged' for her. She regrets it, I can tell.
