[[Kino is in the Alpine District, a bit farther up than the casual hiker would try to go, but not far enough in to be caught in a storm.  There's a fire crackling a few feet away from where she's seated on a fallen log, and Hermes is parked off to her left.  She's still bundled up, but her goggles are off, so it's possible for the perceptive to see

[[His eyebrows furrow as he stares at Kino's rather tired image.]]

I canno say, sorry.

...Should you be out there right now, senor? I donna mean to pry, but you look very uncomfortable.

[[She blinks at the sight of Inigo. This is pretty much the most sober she's ever seen him.]]

It is understandable. You only arrived here recently.

[[She's able to smile a bit wryly.]]

It isn't unbearable, right here.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

[[That's because it IS the most sober he's been.]]

You seem in such a hurry to leave. Are you seeking revenge, too?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

[[She shakes her head.]]

I'm just a traveler. Staying in one place for so long isn't for someone like me.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

[[He nods and lifts up a hand.]]

I see. Some just are not meant to remain in one place, eh?

You are not searching for something in particular?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

[[It's nice when people understand.]]

Travelers are supposed to go on journeys.

[[She smiles again.]]

Nothing in particular, and everything in general--I think you could put it like that.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

[[His expression looks thoughtful.]]

I have been searching for so long, so far, with a focus for twenty years. I have never thought of traveling for nothing in particular. I canno help but be intrigued.

You see many things then?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

You've been searching ... for someone with six fingers? Is that what it was?

[[The story as she heard it was jumbled and incoherent, but six fingers was a pretty central theme.

She nods.]]

I have, though I have not been traveling nearly as long as you have been searching.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

A man with six fingers on his right hand. Even in this place, I canno stop hoping I will find him.

How long have you traveled?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

I wonder if you will.

[[The question makes her pause and look thoughtful long enough for Hermes to interject.]]

More than three years, by a little bit. Are you that forgetful?

[[She shakes her head, coming back to herself.]]

No, that's right.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

I must.

You are quite young, senor, to start three years ago. I donna mean to pry, but how old are you?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

[[This does make her think, and Hermes doesn't have anything to contribute this time. Not having access to a calendar most of the time, she usually hasn't remembered her birthday over the past few years.]]

Eh, well ... maybe sixteen, by now.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

[[so young. Like he was young at twelve years old and on his way to revenge.]]

Do you have family?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

[[They are rapidly heading into territory Kino is not willing to talk about.

Her expression smooths out, and she glances off to the side.]]

I was born the way most people are, I think.

[Video]

[hallomynameis]

...Odd way of phrasing it. So you did have family? Close?

[Video]

[always_foreign]

I think I must be quite far from them by now.
