"Not a bad point, I guess. But I'm really not kidding, everything before her was just ..." She shrugged, "The way it happened to be. I don't know if she already told you but I'm really not from around here." But just in case it wasn't clear enough: "Your entire world isn't mine. In-World or Mid-World or whatever World, it's not mine. I ended up here by accident and Nariko's helped me not die. She was also the very first friend that I made."
She unfolded her legs and laid them straight, grinning. "Sixteen years and no friends. How sad is that?" Her shoulders lifted and fell back down. "It was always just grandma and I, y'know? People don't take kindly to a kid that can tell whose going to die or turn into crazy, terrifying ghosts that kill people. We lived in the house my great-grandpa built, where my parents lived until they were killed, it's actually not that bad a place, nice land, kind off of in a corner, it's just far away from everything else."
Her eyes closed and for the first time in weeks she appeared to well and truly relax. "We don't really have roads or big civilizations, but we have plumbing and that's pretty damn great! Also, hot water whenever we want within reason. My grandma sold jewelry - people weren't as scared of her as they were me - and I took orders for furniture. I guess that makes me a carpenter. Everything is quiet, people keep to themselves for the most part. Everyone began to open up a little when Nariko came around, I guess it helped them realize that I didn't really enjoy what I could see. If I ever go back maybe it won't be so bad."
But that was if she ever went back at all. "Oh, we have these things called paninis - they're like flat, ah, I think you call them popkins? Sort of like that. Flat popkins, and they're amazing. I can make this one with cheese and herbs and chicken, it's the best thing in the world with some tea."
