So she was a city dweller! Odd. Normally people that live in Manhattan for a while develop certain habits, such as speaking at a much louder volume than normal or being abrasive towards...well, anyone. It was both refreshing and confusing to see a converted New Yorker dwelling in a small town outside of Rochester. It might have been that the small town atmosphere tamed her once vibrant spirit or her meekness had always been a part of her life, bred into her from outside sources. There was, again, that sense of strength within her voice, but also a quiet eagerness to please. How delightfully mixed. He was going to have a fascinating time attempting to dissect her. Be cautious? Pah! What could Nathan know about the advanced workings of the human mind? To realize that in order to understand humanity, one must interact with it in the most "natural" state possible. That was why, he believed, his experiments were working so beautifully at the facility. 

And there he was again. Off on a tangent. 

The question, which had been asked a few moments ago, was greeted with a warm smile.
"Alyssa, I've been everywhere. My father was an ambassador for the United Kingdom(if that weren't apparent in my accent) and we made our stay in a number of different locales across the United States, Mexico and back home. Of course, home is a fluid concept, but my 'home country of birth', if you will. About a year and a half ago, I was in New Jersey studying at Princeton where dear old Father keeled over and left me his pension, some of the other inheritance used to purchase this estate. But alas, your question...California, Mexico City, London, Exeter, Manhattan, Chicago, even awful Houston! Texas! Now there's a state to avoid as much as you can. Ever wanted to spend ten months a year indoors while the outside is a sauna? If so, please do visit that wilderness. If not, stay FAR away." He chortled as he took a small bite of lamb dipped in mashed potato, swallowing before adding:
"I don't mean to be ungrateful for the opportunities I've had to see parts of the world, but to be honest, some of it gets a bit droll. Father always told me that I needed to be a bit cheerier when it came to adapting to new circumstances." He set down his fork and motioned to Alyssa.
"And what of your family, Alyssa? Are they still...well, that was phrased horribly, let me try again: where is your family now?" He had a feeling he knew the answer, but would allow his new employee to fill in the blanks. If he were correct in his assumption, then she would indeed fit into the program she had inadvertently enrolled herself into.
