[The laugh Angel let out was small. She wasn't intending to be patronizing by any means, only agreeable. She'd spent hours listening to gunfire and face-eating -- enough for at least 10 lifetimes. It was odd to go to sleep at night without hearing the digital crackle of a turret through her screens, or the hum of her own machinery.]
I understand that feeling, more than you might know, Anders.
[Angel lowered her hand, offering Pinsy a few scritches to the head, while Adorababy cast a rather worried look at the cat. He couldn't see what the creature was planning, but he felt inexplicably uneasy all the same.]
I wish I could say it gets easier with time but... I haven't been here all that long either. There are nights where it still overwhelms me but... [Angel let out a soft sigh.] I think it is easier than the alternative -- having memories and reminders of the life you used to lead. It is hard to adapt when the monsters that haunt you linger close by.
[Angel shook her head, a sad smile crossing her lips.] I'm sorry. This is meant to be cheerful. We are two friends meeting face-to-face for the first time. This should be a joyous occasion. Forgive me?
