[ from wherever roxana's seated in the gate area, the moment rosamund looks in her direction, she'll pat the chair next to her. ]

Of course I am. All I'm doing is waiting for what will happen next.
[ team assignments. ]
[ team assignments. ]
If we're going to be assigned, my preferences don't matter. As long as it's someone I can work and communicate with... that should be enough.

Flexibility is important, more ideal than not, but I won't set expectations too high.
[ that's asking for disappointment. rosamund can say everyone's a freak. ]
Some leave more to be desired than others.

I guess it depends on what we'll actually be asked to do. And how important it's going to turn out to be.
But it'll be much easier to divide everyone once you've already split them apart officially. It's very hard to trust people already in a place like this. Whatever notes they've been taking on all of us, they've been very thorough.

The team tasks... if you believe our hosts are only supposed to win that trip and make our living situation better. Who knows how intense those tasks will be?
For whatever the other benchmarks are... [ the murder ones. ] We'll just have to see, won't we?
Are you the type to distrust, Rosamund?

[It's a good question. One she's not sure how answer. Not straight away.
Rosamund looks away a moment, thinking.]
Well. I know that sometimes people who seem very friendly and reasonable can be people that you have to be careful of. And that people who seem quite dangerous or off-putting are in fact meant to be the best friends you'll ever make.
No one is ever exactly what you think of them. And no one can know the whole truth of a person except that person themselves. I don't think that necessarily means everyone is a threat and you should never trust anyone no matter what. Just that it is something to consider and take account of.
I suppose the best way to put it is, expect to be surprised. Whether a it's a good surprise or a bad one is always up in the air.

While I don't disagree with what you've said, I should rephrase my question: do you want to trust people more than distrust them? Or the other way around?
[ it's less about how to view a person or how much you should know a person in order to trust them but more if rosamund thinks it's better to trust people or not. ]

The circumstances make you resist your natural inclination.
[ roxana can't say she's too surprised. ]
Are you ready to do this for another few weeks?

[ roxana is seated somewhere with an unreadable expression. she'll look in rosamund's direction when she notices her and waits to see if she'll approach or leave. ]
What can I say? I like people. I like making friends. This just isn't a very good place to give the benefit of the doubt.
[yeah her vibes are deeply obvious what about it. Rosamund sighs.]
Sure. Why not. There's no getting out of it until it's over, so there's nothing left to do but push through.
What about yourself? Are you inclined to trust?
[something tells her no.]

You can trust your friends, but it doesn't mean you trust the environment.
[ roxana also doesn't hide certain things about herself. she makes herself aloof for a reason. ]
I don't trust easily, but that shouldn't be a surprise.

[ high nobility meets high nobility alike. there is nothing to indicate what roxana is feeling at the moment, hands in her lap and posture as perfect as ever, but the placidity could be another kind of indication. ]
I would say Anders is more popular.

Go ahead. [ it's not her airport. ] Was the execution anything similar to what you know?
It was the kind of environment I grew up in.

Having abilities back is a double-edged sword for something like that.

To you. He already looked at me at the end of trial.

That he did.
[Rosamund blows out a breath, leaning forward to settle her elbows on her knees as she thinks it over.]
I suppose my question is, have you noticed anything that would point to...whatever forces were at work in your game? Before or after what happened to Boothill?
