[That gets a small laugh out of her, and it's probably good she has no idea what that small little voice of Shiro's says.

That would lead to more questions, and those would be ones Shiro doesn't want to answer.

The explanation of time is appreciated, though, and she gives him a soft smile.]

Thank you for clarifying. Earth is the planet you hail from? You're an...Earthling?

[That seems like a reasonable name for a species.

She's more relaxed, now that the conversation has moved on to things that are...more removed from her. Things she won't be dwelling on in the days to come.]

I see. [She looks down at her hands, wondering what it could be. Something familiar? Or...something that's more of an unknown?]

...I really can't thank you enough for this. [She laughs, shaking her head.] I appreciate all your help, Shiro.
