"I've been in cryosleep for ten years, I'm used to seeing people that I haven't seen in awhile."
-
"Guess we have something in common, then." She takes a seat across from Astrid.
-
"So you were in cryosleep too?"
-
"Yep. No idea how I got there, though. So, what have you been up to?"
-
"Catching up on everything, seeing that most of my friends have kids, stuff like that."
-
"Yeah, it's pretty strange. How are you holding up?"
-
"I've been good, JT is letting me stay at his house."
-
Reni grimaces slightly at the mention of JT.
-
"Is something wrong?"
-
"What? Oh, nothing, nothing." She flashes a very unconvincing smile.
-
"I cam still tell when someone is lying, what's the truth?"
-
She sighs. "Astrid…is there somewhere a bit more private we could talk about this?"
-
"Yeah, there is a back room nearby."
-
"Could we go there to continue talking?"
-
"Yeah, we can." [b]Astrid gets up and walks to the back room[/b]
-
Reni follows her.
-
[b]Astrid steps into the room and closes the door behind them[/b]
-
Reni looks around.
-
[b]Astrid locks the door and looks at her[/b] "So what do you need to tell me?"
-
"Astrid, are you happy here?"
-
"Yeah, why do you ask?"
-
"Really? You're totally fine with being a stripper? Being stared at by a bunch of horny men? You don't find that degrading at all?"
-
"Ok, maybe a little. But I mostly do it because I'm bored."
-
"JT didn't force you into doing this, did he? Be honest with me, Astrid."
-
"Nope, I did it my own free will."
