Wanda comes into view to sit with her knees to her chest and her arms wrapped protectively around herself. She's not wearing her red ensemble for once and is dressed quite casually

[Someone was up early this morning, too. And she sounds breathless.]

It's absolutely beautiful.

[tothebalkans]

It's a shame what humans do in these lands.

[sorcerously]

What has happened?

[tothebalkans]

War and inhumane torture. What else?

[sorcerously]

Oh, I--I had no idea.

[tothebalkans]

That such things happen or that they happen here?

[sorcerously]

Both, actually.

[tothebalkans]

Oh, darling. The world is wicked.

[sorcerously]

Not all of it.

[tothebalkans]

There is beauty to be found, but people--they are...hard to trust.

[sorcerously]

That is because you can never know someone completely.

[tothebalkans]

Unless you're a telepath.

[sorcerously]

--I suppose.

[tothebalkans]

Surely you've met some, having been here so long.

[sorcerously]

I haven't, actually. At least, not that I know of.

[tothebalkans]

Do you know Rachel Summers?
