When I ask Ri about her having family back at the Carnival, she answers that she does, but then looks away and drinks. I know that body language. There was no smile, or joy in the description, and as much as I want to know, and maybe help, I can't. I'm a stranger to her now, and maybe I wasn't one of her favorite people when she did know who I was. I try to think of something to say on the subject, and in the end, I just decide to let it go. Any attempts at being cordial, or helpful here would just be a failure.
I look back to Doc instead as he says that he thinks my plan to get home is a good one, and he'll go along as much as he'd like to continue to hang out in the bar. I think if I was sitting around with two pretty ladies, I would want to do the same. "I'll eat quick, then we can move on with what each of us needs to do today I suppose." I say, then lean onto the bar, and await the food and libation.
