You know, it had been a hard and confusing couple of days and Arden was just going to spend her shift reading. Sure, she had stuff she could be doing, but you know what else? She also had a book she could finish and she knew which one was going to be a priority today.

Maybe if anybody saw her, they'd assume it was some kind of class assignment. Or maybe they'd accept that sometimes, a little bit of escapism was what a girl needed. Whichever.

But she wasn't completely shirking her responsibilities! If anyone showed up, she'd be happy to help them. Though maybe people could time their visits to coincide with chapter breaks? That would be dope.

"...Yeah, actually," she admitted, trying not to laugh too loudly. "About what happens if people encroach on either human territories or other Othersiders."

"Arden, please don't take this the wrong way, but I think your world might suck."

Granted, it did have indoor plumbing.

And...less institutional racism and sexism! That was...something?

"You're not wrong," she said. "I got so, so, so lucky when I ran away. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't ended up here."

Probably returned back to Callista within a week or two, tail between her legs.
