Passion is easier when she's talking to somebody she actually knows. And easier if it's something she cares about, for that matter. Music, maybe, or how big Judith's been getting--
Or maybe not, when she doesn't even know whether Judith's alive. She lets his descriptions of Beta Colony fill the empty space, wondering whether it's warm there.
"What's my situation?" she asks, hearing something in his voice change. She can't quite decide how, but something seems different as her gaze skids back his way. Somebody ignorant of the area is her guess, but there are plenty of other potential weaknesses in her possession. She's young, she's essentially powerless if they really do things by counts and royalty, she's a girl--and it's starting to sound like that could be a problem.
Luckily, a name like Jackson's Hole isn't exactly inviting to start with. It's got to be easy to avoid.
