She wasn't going to have a long conversation with Joey because, well, Joey was busy serving people.  Still, this was like the equivalent of knowing your bartender at a particular establishment...and this tea WAS rather decent...so all in all, a good place to be.  Now, Terra [i]had[/i] managed to gain the attention of the helmeted man, and it seemed that she was at least [i]partially[/i] right about how it was going to take any sustenance.  He had a straw built into his helmet, and his food was going to be eaten privately.  Now...of course, the REAL question was 'Why are you always wearing this helmet of yours?', but she couldn't just ask that.  She didn't know these people.  Her perception of normal was broken hours ago, just by how different this base was from any Red-Star facility.

Terra was then asked for her name - because, if anything, she was only known as 'The Red-Star Defector', so far - and she was about to answer when both she and the helmeted man were confronted with that woman from before, the one who seemed distraught, but trying very hard to keep it together.  In fact, she looked to be really working at it, taking an interest in Terra specifically.  Her name was Kxeyun, and she seemed very eager to get acquainted.  Was she in a similar position as her?  Denver-Vegas was a long way away, so she wouldn't know anyone else here.  Unlike Terra's own control of herself, Kxeyun may've been putting herself out there as a pleasant sort of person in order to make her transition into the group move faster.  It wasn't her own way of doing things, but...honestly, Terra found herself taking an interest, as the other pilot had in her.  That clenching of the fists, though...

[color=ed1c24]"Have a seat, if you like.  Either of you."[/color]

She was gonna do a bit of explanation for the both of them.

[color=ed1c24]"My name is Terra Laedo.  I'm the pilot of Id, a Red-Star NC designed to rapidly strike opponents and tear through defenses.  That's how I escaped.  They designed a person who could coordinate every human ability we take for granted, flooded her brain with information while still a child, then trained her for years as a very dangerous, very intelligent combatant.  It was only a matter of time before I discovered how self-destructive their methods were.  I wasn't helping that, so I left with Id."[/color]

Then, she looked Kxeyun in the eyes and said...

[color=ed1c24]"You had to leave people behind, as well, didn't you?"[/color]

[i]That[/i] was what she deduced by her observations.  Kxeyun's voice was light and sunny, but her more subtle reactions - like her breathing pattern - were darker, ranging from unhappy to very angry, and possibly with herself.  Terra didn't want to feel that way herself, but she suspected that if she let the emotion rise, it might look something like that.
