[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

[a wry smile]

Pretty much. I mean, I'm starting to get used to it, but a lot of what I hear still flies right over my head.

I can sympathize.

Heh. At least, I've never been good at it. So being out of my depth is normal.

Yes, I imagine it's hard for people who are on top of things

I can't even imagine that. Thankfully, none of us are ever on top of things like that.

Yeah, I guess you guys deal with unusual things all the time.

Sometimes. Not as often as the other worlds like mine.

Even so. More than the average citizen in my world.

Definitely more than that.

So, anything else new?

. . . well, someone else from home showed up.

Not - a mutant. But she was - is a good friend.

[it's just complicated]

Oh? Tell me more about her?

[oh boy]

Her name's Moira. She's a field agent for the CIA - and really, the reason I ended up meeting everyone. She sought Charles out, and that eventually lead to my boss being involved, and - [he makes a gesture]

She was our go between as well, when . . . we were in Cuba. [he just manages to hold back a wince] She's incredibly kind and talented.

[and now he does wince] Unfortunately . . . everything that happened in Cuba is very recent for her. She's ten years behind us.

[ she knows it's a tough subject for him but ]

You didn't tell me about Cuba.

I do owe you that story, don't I.

Only if you're up for it.

[he's never up for it tbh]

. . . alright. But - uh, not here. Do you want to go for a walk?

Sure. I need to stretch my legs.

Mm, same. I've been at this for a few hours.

[it doesn't take long to clean up the books and notebooks he has, and in a matter of moments he makes a gesture for Kara to follow him out of the library] Where to?

The gardens, maybe?

Gardens sound good.

[and it would offer them a bit of privacy, at least, for this particular explanation. So, to the gardens they go]

I'm so thankful these are here.

Mm, me too. I don't come through here that often, but it's nice knowing it's here.

[ when they get there, she's comfortable walking quietly until he sorts out what he wants to say ]

[it takes a few moments, honestly, as he tries to figure out exactly how and where to start. There was so much]

How much have I told you so far? So I don't - repeat anything.
