They thought that trips to Alaska and getting shots would be the beginning of a relaxing break. Instead they got quarantines and bombs and people getting mad at them. Big. Sigh.

It definitely does, yes, and thank you. [ She smiles a bit. ] I've been trying to, even with all the craziness going on. I thought things might go back to normal. [ She pauses and frowns a bit. ] Well, as normal as things were before the illness and the bombs. My dad would be having such a fit if he were still here with me.

Just gonna have to deal with it for now. [They obviously didn't have enough problems to worry about.]

Being hated by the people you're trying to help out... Yeah, I can definitely see how he'd have a problem with that.

[ She nods, crossing her arms in front of her lightly. ] Too bad we don't have the choice to up and leave here and let them deal with the United Earth with their sour attitudes. But whatever, I'm so going to freeze them to the ground if they try anything.

[Ah, being left behind... This is a subject Kerrigan knows really well.]

You know, if I had heard that from anybody else, I wouldn't have actually believed them. [True story.]

It will be my last resort. I mean, I still want to help them, but I don't appreciate helping someone and then getting attacked a moment later.

[ She runs a hand through her hair, looking away for a moment before looking back at Kerrigan. ] It must sound weird — hearing me talk about stuff like this. It sounds weird to me. I've only been here for three months and I feel like I've changed so much...

Being in a war will do that to you. [Heck, just being a soldier was life-changing enough, but Kerrigan didn't really appreciate that kids like Kaede were being forced into this mess.]

If it means anything, I think you've handled all of this pretty well, and not everyone can do that.

[ She nods, blushing a bit at the compliment and bringing on a small smile. ]

Thank you. I've tried to handle it as well as someone my age can. I can't exactly fall on the ground and act like a five-year-old...

Has anyone from your world shown up recently?

Not so much recently, but someone was already here when I arrived.

Jim Raynor. Maybe you've heard of him, maybe not. We've known each other for years and have... been through a lot.

[that's an understatement.]

I've seen his name in passing on the tablet, but I haven't met him, no. I'll remember to keep him in mind if we ever have to interact on a mission, though!!

[ Kaede's eyes dart to the sky and the unrelenting rain, looking for a change in the sky's color to indicate where the day is going. It is a hard habit to break, but she still catches herself looking up at the sky every now and then.

She looks back at Kerrigan as she pulls up the hood of her jacket. ]

Ah, I should let you go now. I have some people to check on, and I don't want to keep you from doing the same if you wish to, as well. [ The hood shifts back a bit as she smiles. ] But it was still nice to talk with you and check up on you.

[Kerrigan couldn't help but chuckle at those last few words.]

Right, it was... nice to see you again too, Kaede.

Let me know if you ever need anything, and don't be a stranger.

I will, Kerrigan, I promise. I'll see you soon!

[ And with those final words (for now), she leaves the covering the building has provided them and disappears out of sight with a quick glow of blue. ]
