( She doesn't mention her adoptive family much yet, because it's complicated. They had resisted her choice to aspire to be a hero and help others because they'd worried for her safety.
Her existence had cost them Jeremiah; something she'll never forget. They can't, won't understand, though they support her now. There has always been a sense of belonging with Kal that has been lacking with humans, because it's more difficult to achieve for her.
Though the hug ends, she doesn't move away, either. And his offer makes her eyes grow wide, the smile she wears now turns softer. )
I'd be honoured, thank you. If my mother's were here, I'd offer the same. We should build a console; there's a whole other abandoned city out there that might have the parts somewhere to do that.
