"That's certainly true, but I can't discount spies. The level of technology here seems somewhat inconsistent, and that could mean danger."
"Still," and she shrugged, "there's nothing we can do about it. Information is worth the risk."
The doubts that had been nagging at Re-l unceasingly reared their heads again. Her life story matched her personality and her dreams remarkably well, considering. Could she really be sure that it wasn't true?
Far off blue on the horizon caught her gaze, and for a moment her eyeshadow mirrored the sky.
"It makes more sense not to," she said, focusing once more on her companion. "The stories have to be plausible, and the more intricate they are, the harder that is." Her eyes flickered to the energetic woman beside her. "It's odd. There was a time, in the other world, when I was trapped in dreams, or something like a dream. Dreams within dreams within dreams, or something even more complicated?"
A hawk cried out far above them, and Re-l tilted her head up to catch a glimpse. The creature soared over her head, wings firmly outstretched, a solitary creature, without the need for names or identities or uncertainty. Re-l couldn't help but be a little jealous.
"My name," she said, "is Re-l. They call me Masa, here, but I'm Re-l, really."
