[Today, Miss Anna is accompanied by a pair of kittens, one orange and one grey. Their names are, respectively, Biscuit and Danish. She has them out in the park with her, letting them chase after leaves and tussle with one another. All in all, she seems quite calm and content today.]


[[ooc; After all of Carla's dramu I was looking for a little fluff. Please come forth and play with kittens.]]

Non, je suis du Mozambique. Mais je me suis rendu à Paris il ya quelques années. C'est une belle ville.

[flensing]

Il a été un temps très long depuis que je suis. J'aurais aimé avoir vu le Mozambique.

[All the past tense.]

Re: action;

[universaltranslator]

Je l'espère. Depuis combien de temps êtes-vous ici?

[flensing]

Huit mois maintenant, je pense? C'est difficile à dire.

[universaltranslator]

Comment peuvent-ils mesurer le temps ici?

[flensing]

[Her smile is faint, ironic.]

Du mieux qu'ils peuvent. Mais ... le temps n'a pas d'importance tant pour moi.

[It's not really a story she wants to tell, just a concession. She turns her attention down to the kittens, picking up another leaf to twirl in front of them and they give chase, tumbling over one another.]

[Uhura notices the shift in mood. She's not sure what it means, but she doesn't know this girl well enough to press the issue.]

Je suis juste curieux combien d'heures sont en un jour, jours par an, des choses comme ça.

[It's pretty much impossible to calculate a proper stardate when you can't even tell what universe you're in.]

[flensing]

Je pense que nous essayons de garder les 24 heures. Un an ... Je ne saurais dire? Nous avons compté les mois, car je suis habitué, mais qui sait vraiment.

[She'd read about places that torture prisoners by depriving them of the ability to track time. That doesn't seem to be what's happening here, but it's still unsettling to contemplate.]

C'est un lieu étrange, n'est-ce pas?

action;

[flensing]

[Anna would tell her that this is a very friendly dungeon, if it is one indeed.]

Très étrange, mais je suis heureux d'être ici.

Re: action;

[universaltranslator]

Je suis heureux. [She wishes she could say the same.

Her watch beeps, and she sighs.]

Je devrais y aller. Il était très agréable de vous rencontrer, Anna.
