[It had been a couple days, yet she was still so angry. She could hardly remember the last time she was this angry.. which was odd, considering how prone she was to anger. Being the rebel princess she was, she hadn't been attending the 'classes' she was told to, and instead confined herself in the library, reading book upon book about.. well,

[Would a wakeup call of a large bag nearly bursting with books being dropped on a nearby table do?]

[Maria winces at the noise, she honestly hadn't meant to be so loud about it...]

[paradisiacally]

[Sounds good to me. To Ashe, however, I imagine it's a pretty horrible sound.

Shooting up almost immediately, Ashe takes a moment to gather her bearings before looking up at Maria with a confused expression.]

Ah.. I fell asleep. Thank you for waking me. [.. that was embarrassing.]

[gunblade_grrl]

I -- [She'd been about to apologize, but now she was being thanked? Her brain: scrambled.]

What are you reading?

[That's a safe thing to ask!]

[paradisiacally]

[... that was a good question. She'd skimmed through so many books she'd lost track of what she had been reading. She flips the book over to look at the spine.]

It is a book on this world's history.

[gunblade_grrl]

Oh, well, if you're looking for something specific I might be able to help!

[paradisiacally]

I appreciate the sentiment, but no thank you. I'm afraid none of the books here will be answering my questions..

[gunblade_grrl]

[Maria quirks a little smile.]

I mean, I could try to answer your question. Easier than looking in a book maybe?

[paradisiacally]

[Ashe's face turns a bit grave.]

Unless you somehow know how to return to my home-world, I am afraid you're unable to be of help.

[gunblade_grrl]

[Oh, it would be that, wouldn't it.]

Time Compression is the only way, but it can't be controlled or even counted on at all. I'm sorry.

[paradisiacally]

[sigh.]

Exactly the answer I was expecting to receive. Still, there must be some other way.. do you truly believe what these people say?

[gunblade_grrl]

Yeah, I do. We didn't even know about other worlds, let alone see people from them, before Time Compression occurred. If there was a way here or away before then, wouldn't someone have used it?

[paradisiacally]

Not if no one has found it.

[gunblade_grrl]

[She nods solemnly.]

I'm sorry. I hope you don't find our world too bad, while you're here.

[paradisiacally]

... You have no need to apologize. Everyone has been hospitable enough..

[gunblade_grrl]

I'm glad for that. I know some people even here in Garden aren't polite or respectful of people from off-world!
