"I can see that." A quiet smile for Pepper and her mother both. Raine turns with her mug in her hands, leaning back against the kitchen counter.

Things about Keeliai and her own world, hm. Raine tilts her head back as well, not so much looking at the ceiling as something distant past it. "Pepper may have mentioned my own world isn't the Earth so many of the Foreigners here are from," she says. "My own is called Aselia. For some time, it was split into two separate worlds as a method of preserving it; recently, it was reunited. It's... a long story. Keeliai is surprisingly similar in some respects, such as the years in which the city was somewhat stagnant. However, they don't have many of the same hangups and prejudices; those they do have, exist for different reasons."

...It's as nice as such things can be.
