[Bryn recognizes that smile immediately, the one that doesn't reach the eyes to hide how uncomfortable and uncertain she is. Bryn switches video on immediately and gives the girl a smile, one that she hopes appears genuine and non-threatening.]

Hi Lily, my name is Bryn. Holloway's Keep is a sort of castle. There's a map in your record, that's this journal thing we're using right now.

[Oh, wow. Oh wooow. Bryn is sooo pretty. Lily switches to video!]

Oh, cool. That'll help a lot. Yeah, uh, sorry if this sounds totally dumb, but what's a castle?

[ video ] soooo late sorry bb brynkitten September 27 2011, 02:47:22 UTC
That doesn't sound dumb at all. A castle is a very, very large building. It usually has lots of different buildings around it and great tall walls to keep everyone inside safe. Where I'm from, castles were places where royalty and nobility lived.

Do they have anything like that where you're from?

[ video ] no probs bro WORK IS SRS BUSINESS unit_67 September 27 2011, 02:51:46 UTC
Uh, no, I don't think so. Maybe? I've never been outside.

[For all she knows, she LIVES in a castle. ... Well, yes, she lives in a castle NOW. I mean back home.]

Never?

[Bryn pauses a moment, surprised.]

Can you describe where you are? I can help you find a door outside or take you there if you'd like...

Oh, it's okay! I can do it myself. But thanks. [Smile!!] You're really nice!

[Trying to avoid some serious thread confusion - Lily went outside in another thread aaa 6_9]

[No problem whatsoever. Bryn smiles and nods.]

Thank you. You're really nice too. And you know, if you need anything or have any questions you can ask me if you like. I'm not on staff but I've been here for a while...so if you need anything at all...

[Oh, she's not sounding smothery is she? Overstepping? Bryn stops short and her face goes red.]

Just, so you know. That's all.

[Lily actually enjoys Bryn's smothering. It's a nice change from barked orders and saccharine smiles.]

Gotcha.

How long have you been here? And how long am I gonna be here?

It's September now, and I arrived in early April...

[Bryn takes a moment to count.]

Five and a half months? More or less? No one's sure of how long we'll be here, unfortunately. As long as it takes until our worlds are restored, I suppose.

[There was a faint hint of doubt to her last words. Are you happy, Megamind? Bryn isn't 100% blindly accepting what she's been told!]

That long?

[The expression on Lily's face is difficult to decipher. Lily would die to stay here for five months - but what about her brothers? How are things back home? According to Deior, Lily's home is gone or something weird like that.

Hmmm...]

That sounds... totally cool. Totally. 100%.

[Bryn isn't entirely sure how she feels about it either. She loves living at the Keep, because things are safer for her in general, but when it is dangerous, it's a great deal more than back home, and there simply isn't anywhere to run away to most of the time.]

It's pretty cool most of the time.

[Lily's just a little girl, so Bryn doesn't feel the need to warn her about not hurting people but...]

Just make sure you behave yourself, okay?

["Behave". That's a really, really weird word. Back home, if you "behaved" on the battlefield, you'd get your head ripped off. Literally.]

Yeah. Yeah, I can behave.

[Luckily, then, Lily wasn't home any more. Still, Bryn looks relieved by Lily confirming she could behave herself, and nods.]

Good. They're not very nice to people who don't and I wouldn't want anything to happen to you.
