I want to go.

[This quiet but insistent. She wants to go. She hasn't been outside in so long. She wants to go.]

[She doesn't want to go alone, though.]


private/voice } will

[She debates not contacting him. She's still angry at what she considers to be his betrayal, but - well, he's still Will. They were still supposed to be family. And she thinks he will understand her need for quiet, for green, for whatever there is to find out there.]

Did you see what it is yet? Outside.

spam } throughout port

[Most of her time is spent with Ben or near Ben. She isn't yet confident enough to venture out on her own much, so she stays close and takes short walks away from their site.]

[She explores the woods, carefully and slowly, making sure not to disturb anything irreparably. Her father taught her how to walk without a sound, and she remembers him whenever she sees an animal. She doesn't try to hunt anything. They have enough food.]

[Occasionally she comes up behind someone and goes still, freezing like a deer in headlights, as if she expects to be reprimanded for getting so close. Occasionally she'll watch someone from a distance. Once she climbs a tree, just to get a better vantage point, and sits twenty-five feet above the ground for several hours, just because it feels nice to be above it all and the breeze is refreshing.]

[Iris smiles back, warm and immediate, and stretches out more consciously along the tree's broad limb.]

One time, in a flood, I 'ad these great long retractable claws. me and my inmate went and climbed all over the CES, it were brilliant.

[And killed each other, more or less consensually as these things go, but she doesn't mention that; not because she thinks Abigail wouldn't understand, only because that was private between her and Victor.]

I didn't want to lie 'ere not letting you know I could see you. And bubbles come alive in sunshine.
