[Snow has been thinking. A lot. About deals and going home and everything. She feels like she's at a crossroads. She's recently been unpaired from her inmate, which she supposes isn't like losing her inmate, but it's still a little discouraging. It would be simple to just return home. Let that be that.]

[But she's started to wonder if it's just her deal that keeps her here. She's started to create bonds and friendships here that she knows she'd miss dearly if she were to return to her world. In short, she doesn't know what that means.]

How many of you have intentions of returning to your world once you have succeeded with your inmate? Do you wish to return simply because the deal you have arranged is all that you have left to do or wanted to do in the first place?

Or must you return?

[Snow hesitates a moment before adding:] Have any of you changed your mind?

My family has passed away.

But when my parents were alive, we loved one another. That's what made us family.

But love is something that... is. That's what I meant.

[Private]

[breathoflight]

You do not believe love is something that must be earned and grow?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

No? I've never seen that happen. How does it work?

[Private]

[breathoflight]

It's not something that I can explain in terms that would apply to all instances...

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

What about your instance?

Well...Eric is a friend of mine. Originally, he had been sent to find me and bring me back to Ravenna. I had no choice but to trust him to a certain extent when he realized that Ravenna would only betray him, but any further trust than that had to be earned on his part.

He's a very gruff and difficult person to like for most. He's lost much, so he tends to be... a bit prickly...

But the more time I spent with him, the more I came to understand him and care for him as a very dear friend. What was once merely business and a tenuous relationship became a strong friendship.
