"Well, um," Jo found herself looking around nervously, taking a seat in one o the uncomfortable chairs. "...That's not really reassuring. But, no, I'm not kidding- I feel like I could chew the air here." She nervously smirked at him, tucking her feet under the chairs as she eyed the table in front of her. 

"...This is.. A strange board game?" She asked, brows furrowing slightly as she shifted her posture to look at it more. "..No, wait, I think I saw this kind of thing before... An ancient tacticians' map? I've only seen one in a museum." She kept her voice low, examining the map and markings carefully, trying to keep her breathing normal, despite the additional gravity put on her, and the thickness of the air. The additional levels of oxygen helped, though her breaths ended up shallow, almost as if she wasn't breathing at all. 

"...Wait, what?" She blinked as gears moved in her mind, trying to understand what Cyrus had said. Her eyes went wide and face redas she picked up on what he meant, getting up from the chair and moving away from the tent door. "o-Oh. Ok, um... You could have left out their personal lives. THat would have been ok," Her voice dropped quieter, and she found her arms wrapping around herself slightly. The comment about her being a lovely lady didn't register for a few moments after that, causing her brows to bend slightly and her to look away. "L-Lovely?... Do..You mean me?" She looked confused, but refused to make eye contact. "n-No, um, not, er, I'm not... lovely... exactly. But I get your point." She lifted a hand as if to wave away the comment, moving slightly so she could examine the table again.

"...20 minutes? That's half of the time I can be here before I have to go back..." She pulled out her timer, peeking at it. Technically, it was a little less than half, but she rounded down. "I can wait, though. I'm not sure how to pass the time, however." She looked to her hoverboots, lifting a foot carefully and rolling her ankle around. "Should I stay by the book? I mean, in case something happens." Her eyes turned back to the noises outside; she wasn't used to ambient noises that weren't robotic or non-existent.
