[Carmen's eyes widen slightly, betraying her surprise. Astoria DEFINITELY knows her background then. This suspicion is quickly confirmed and Carmen has to do some quick mental gymnastics to determine how she even feels about this. Astoria doesn't seemed bothered by it. Maybe that's all she needs for now.

She tries to relax a little.]

I suppose it would be more like 'worlds' now. Definitely not something I ever expected to say.

[She considers that. She tilts her head, it's hard not to be a little amused, especially with her companion taking this so well.]

You caught me, didn't you?

[Carmen leans back.]

I don't know if everyone will seem as pleased about working with an internationally wanted criminal as you seem to be. Although at this point I'm not sure how much that matters when we're way beyond any nation I'm familiar with...I'll admit, I kind of like the idea of a fresh start, a clean slate.

[She takes a bite, chewing on both the empanada and her own thoughts.]

I guess I'll just play it by ear, see what the rest of this Circle of yours has to offer.
