[The mirror comes to life to show a pale young woman with long dark hair sitting in a bed of flowers, thin legs splayed awkwardly underneath her. She doesn't not look particularly concerned with her new surroundings, despite the white frock hanging off her skeletal frame marking her as a new arrival

[Reeve smiles-- if there are any women here who probably fair better in the Garden than in their own worlds, Zinc is surely among them. She can't bring herself to be sorry to see Zinc back.
There is what appears to be a large, ornate pin in the shape of a beetle on Reeve's shirt, but then the little robot flutters its wings and the illusion is gone.]

Hello, there Zinc. Your house is still standing, and I think Coléo will be happy to see you-- so am I.

I can bring her out to you, if you like? I might even be able to get help in finding you some fresh meat. But I'll have to see about that!

[Zinc's hands clap together excitedly.]

You took care of her.

[Zinc loved that bug. Barbet never let her have any pets to keep her company. Probably for good reason, because it was likely Zinc would end up hurting them if not eating them. But a mechanical pet, that was perfectly safe.]

[Reeve smiles, pleased and a little touched.]

Of course! I can bring her by any time you like-- I'm sure she'll be happy to see you as well.

[jemerite]

Yes, please.

[Not exactly the politest of girls, but when she really wanted something she knew the magic words.]

I wish she had come home with me.

[It wouldn't have been so lonely.]

[notvitiligo]

Wow, welcome back. Her Highness must be getting more on the ball, if she's recapturing people.

[jemerite]

Jessica!

[ :D :D :D :D My frand!]

I am told she is still crazy. I doubt she does it on purpose.

[notvitiligo]

Well, there's different types of crazy. According to someone "in the know" I talked to, she's prolly at least trying.

I'm kind of glad to see you again, in that selfish way.

[jemerite]

It is okay.

[Zinc understands that selfish way.]

I'm glad to be back.

[tomboyishcandy]

You've been here before, mish?

You need food? Pinoko can cook!

[jemerite]

I have been.

[She gives this unfamiliar face a little look over, but needs to correct quickly before this goes any further,]

I cannot eat cooked things, I'm sorry.

[It was a very restricted diet really. Meat, raw. Anything else made her ill.]

[tomboyishcandy]

You have? Where were you jusht now, then? Did you figure out how to leave thish plache? [Now, Pinoko's definitely curious.]

Hmm, can you eat shalads then?

[jemerite]

I don't know, I woke up at home, one day. Then I woke here again, later.

[She shrugs, her hands palm up. It wasn't anything she had done with her own power.]

I am only able to eat meats.
