That is some important work.

[ Obi-Wan's brows creep for his fringe, openly invested in what Lucretia is telling him. ]

And explains why you would be so worried about my situation.

[Waving a hand, she shakes her head.]

Trust me, there's no judgement on my part. I can't say I haven't been tempted by the power to change the past, and there's some damn good reasons to do it.

[There's nothing saying the current timeline is any more preferable to any alternatives. And if she could have stopped the Hunger before all of it happened...

Hm. Would she have met her friends?]

The town we recovered it in had been frozen in a time loop for years. My agents certainly did some... meddling with the timeline. A product of necessity but worth it to set Refuge free.

[ There are enough key words in what she says for Obi-Wan to understand better what she does, and why. He nods along with her as he sips at his own tea. ]

[ Not that it will do his life any good. Who would he tell? There was no one left to trust. ]

[The atmosphere lightens and Lucretia's posture relaxes some as she settles in more to enjoy her tea. Finishing the first cup and then glancing at the kettle to decide if it would be rude to refill it herself.]

My base might as well be the Strange and Wonderful thing center of the planet. Not all of them as destructive as the Flaming Poisoning Raging Sword of Doom.

clumsily outros this thread

[ He's grateful for the turn of topic, and refills her tea — though his attention is rapt on her, clearly ready to settle in for a long chat. ]

Oh, do go on.
