[Five minutes ago - not even, actually - she’d been walking down the aisle of an airplane, smacking her bag into people in a rush to get to the bathroom. Clayton had said something - she couldn’t even remember what it was at this point, and Samantha had gotten up in a huff, snatched all of her carry on items - idol included -, and stormed into the

What do you even mean by that.
[See, this is what she meant.]

I'm getting that, thanks.
[Maybe she's dreaming. She Would ask for more information, but dammit she's too proud for that.]

That would be the case if he were actually a friend. He's a colleague.

A colleague huh? From my experience that's just a nice way of saying "pain in the ass".

That's exactly the situation, to be perfectly frank. He's been nothing more than a bloody burr lately.

The truth of the message you received has yet to be verified, as far as I know. There are little answers to be had from the lord of this Keep, or his staff.

I’m beginning to see that, thanks for the input.
[From her tone, the sarcasm is obvious. Her accent probably isn’t the best considering she isn’t a native speaker, but the inflection, tone, and pronunciation? All perfect.]
So we are all just sitting ducks? Waiting for…what? My ‘world’ to get fixed?
Yeah, right.
[…A beat.]
And why are we speaking in old ass Persian? You some sort of history professor? [Some of her words incorporate more…modern Turkish translations considering there really probably weren’t translations to Old Persian for some of these words.]

You speak Persian! This is marvelous. You are the first I have encountered here that does, aside from my brother.
[Reading text just isn't the same as conversing with someone in his own language. He recognizes 'English,' as the language many of the people speak here, and gives a light head shake - not that she can see it.]
I apologize, but I'm afraid I don't speak English. It doesn't exist where I'm from, as far as I know.
To answer your earlier question - yes, I believe waiting is what they are expecting us to do. It is not what some of us have elected to do, however.

[Seriously, what is wrong with everyone.]
...It doesn't exist. [See? SEE? This is what she's talking about.] Really. Maybe you just haven't gone west enough! [Her tone is *brightly* sarcastic!] Try that on for size when you go home, kiddo. Tell me how the tea is.
[People thinking they're from ancient Persia SERIOUSLY? These people were in denial. What was this, some kind of nerd convention?]
I'm not exactly someone that 'waits around'. [No, Samantha tends to just...charge forward.
And not think about it.
That'd probably explain why she was almost killed like, four times prior to ending up here.]
