"It's OK." She forces a small, sad smile. "I've been doin' this world-hopping thing for a while now. I've seen people come and go - I should've expected something like this to happen. I guess ... it just felt like I was finally done, y'know?"
She shrugs. There's nothing she can do about it at this point. Better to focus on what she can do something about - keeping people alive.
"I know a little bit," she answers, with a nod. "They're both pretty tight-lipped about almost everything, but I can tell you what I know. You know about World War Two, right? Marie's from a place where the Nazis won that, and they continued taking over parts of the entire world, killing everyone they didn't like, all that horrible shit. She's from what used to be Canada, her whole family's a bunch of freedom fighters, so she grew up fighting Nazi shitheads, smuggling people out to Russia, which is apparently one of the only places that's still not under Nazi control. She wasn't a leader, but she's got some experience."
As for the other half of the pair: "Mello is ... kind of a huge asshole, as I'm sure you noticed. Funny thing is, he was actually on the same ship as me before we ended up here. Ship as in space ship, running from the ship's fascist Creators that wanted the ship back to use for slave labor - it was a ship that was alive, by the way. But we didn't talk much, he kept to himself most of the time. I know where he's from, he used to work with the Mafia, but I have a feeling it was more bossing them around than anything. Apparently there's some mass-murdering dictator type tracking down and killing anyone who's a criminal of any kind, or just someone he doesn't like. So I get where they're both coming from, but they're both not very good at this, and they don't like anyone challenging their so-called 'authority'."
