Well, um. [A pause. She's rehearsed this, but it's still hard to say.] I know that here, in Luceti, there's a lot of things that are just like home. For most of us, I mean. We have a school, and we have doctors, and there's a welcoming center, not to mention ...clean...food and water. I was thinking, though, and there's something I'm not sure

That's a very generous offer, Miss Emma. I'm sure there are many people here who would be happy to have someone to talk to about their problems.

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

I'm glad to hear someone else thinks so. Even if all I can do is listen and give advice, I...still think it's a good thing.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Sometimes just listening and offering advice can be more useful than any sort of physical assistance you could offer.

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

It's very true. I wish more people thought like that.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

As do I. If only more people could solve conflicts through words instead of physical actions, the world would be a far better place.

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

Yes, yes. I agree completely. You're very wise.

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

[He laughs.]

Thank you. I just wish that sort of thinking was more common back in my world.

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

So, now that you know what I do, mind if I ask what you do for a living?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I was studying to become a politician back in my world before I was brought here in order to follow in my father's footsteps.

[It's not entirely a lie, even if it isn't the entire truth either.]

[Voice]

[couldhavedanced]

That sounds very impressive. Do you enjoy politics?

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

I find them fascinating, if somewhat complicated at times. Diplomacy requires a great deal of skill, far more than many people realize.
