[She follows his lead down the street, grinning an apology to another passerby who she nearly trips with her tail at her sudden turn. As they make their way along, she considers what sort of questions might be best to toss his way with a thoughtful hum.]
If you’ve been here that long, I’m guessing you had plenty of time to pick a side already. [She glances at him sidelong.] With the whole Zenith vs Meridian thing, I mean. They sure were eager to win us over at those little parties of theirs.
[Probably a good place to start, since the whole thing seems pretty unavoidable. Could be worth picking the brain of someone coming from the same place as her, whether they were passingly familiar or not. Operator Tequila here might be more of an unknown to her than Flamebringer (and he mostly sticks out in her memory as one of those pain-in-the-ass patients who refused to cooperate), but they at least still have the common ground of knowing what it’s like showing up here from Terra.
Or, well, sort of. Not like Gavial’s worldview had been a standard one on the pharmaceutical company’s landship, but still. It’s a start!]
