[A:ah, mayfield... this bed in a certain house on Albright Lane is quite comfortable, you know that? so comfortable that the priest currently occupied upon it is contently sleeping away as if he hasn't a care in the world. peacefully dreaming in the pajamas he would have no recollection donning... nestled close to his wife, with whom he has three

Gone was the berth on the colony, no desk and bunk and shower unit, this looked like something out of a housing magazine or the holographic simulator. Padding out of bed, rubbing sleepy blue eyes blearily, he peeked into the next room and was surprised to see a stranger on the bed.]
O-Oh! Sorry.

W-Where... [but as she talks she feels like there's a lump in her throat]

It hasn't occurred to him to be frightened for himself yet, unfortunately too used to being thrown into strange circumstances for testing purposes to think much of it yet. And she was a higher priority, looking as scared as she did. Holding his hands up and giving her a small smile, he stepped into the doorway properly so she could see him.]
I don't know, sorry. I just woke up here, I didn't mean to scare you.

Y-You didn't... [there, she swallows that lump enough to talk, but her voice is still soft] I just woke up too.

He desperately wants to put her at her ease, a slight hopeful tugging in his chest that he might make a friend if he can do that.]

May I sit down?

A-Are we still in Japan? [because it doesn't look like it. And of course, she assumes that he's from Japan too :') Her experience with the world is very small, so even though he looks pretty western, she assumes he's from a similar walk of life]

I wasn't in Japan before, so maybe not? Lets look out the window and see if we can see any clues.

Y-Yeah. [she'll follow him to the window]

I've never been to Japan, is it nice?

I've never been anywhere else...

Which is why she finally rises from her bed to glare rather blearily at the other two. Has she realized they're not drones? Probably not yet.]
For heaven's sake, if you must speak to each other please do it elsewhere. I was rather enjoying my sleep until just now thanks to you two.

Oh, I'm very sorry. Do you live here, then?
[She didn't seem as surprised as them to wake up there, after all.]
