[Phoenix has very little idea what this woman is talking about, but one thing above the rest catches his attention. She wants to get home. She wants to get off this ship.

And here he is, putting out feelers for potential allies. But how to approach the subject?

Hmm. It would probably be best to work to it in a roundabout manner.]

The responsibilities of one's home are indeed important. I can certainly empathize with the desire to return to them.

Have you been here long then, miss...?

[This voice is quite new to her own device, but she has heard him before over the network. Unfortunately, she can't say she's paid enough attention to know his name right off to bat.]

I am certain I am not the only one who feels this way. One could say you have managed to confirm my certainties.

[She tries to think back to when she first arrived. She hasn't been around nearly as long as some have. Even in her short time, however, she would know she's seen plenty of things.]

It has been almost six months since I arrived. Not nearly as long as some, but plenty long enough for me.

Far too long, I am certain.

[The sympathy isn't fake. He meant it when he implied that he understood her feelings. He knows all too well what it is like to be forced to abandon one's duties, as that was exactly what had happened when he'd rebelled against Skyheed's plans.]

But you sound as though you have formed some responsibilities here as well. It makes me curious. If you were given the opportunity to return to your home right now, would you take it?

[Some formed responsibilities? Zelda would love more than anything to give those aboard their freedom, but they aren't her people. She's had to learn that the hard way. Still, she wants to help everyone else if she can, and that in itself, could be her responsibility.]

There are things I would wish to attend to before taking my leave.

[She's made a promise to someone that she intends very much to keep.]

I could not leave so easily, seeing what I have seen. I am neither ignorant nor heartless. I cannot say others would do the same, however.
