[ It's early in the morning when Ariadne makes her network post and she's obviously still tired, nursing a cup of coffee. The reason she's awake might be obvious -- in the background, even though there are no speakers anywhere nearby, a song is playing. ]

You know, I've never heard this song before in my life.

[ There's a pause so she can yawn into her cup of coffee. ]

But I think I like it. I'd like it even more if it didn't wake me up, though.

Not bad. Kansas. You?

Illinois, originally, but I've been in Paris for the past five years.

[skintoskin]

Yeah? What's it like? Paris, I mean. Not Illinois.

It's beautiful. [ There's a fond smile. ]

I bet it is...
