Nodding along, unhappy but not really surprised, Carol begins to resign herself to yet another unfamiliar foreign world, and this time by herself. Such irony, since when she first came to Teleios all she wanted was to be alone. Now, it's going to be a while before she's through mourning, if ever. Her first true home is gone, and in time she's sure she'll begin to doubt how real it ever was.
"Being scared can be the smart thing, sometimes. Don't feel bad about it." Carol's out of the habit of trying to offer advice, since it hasn't turned out so well historically, but Rain's difficult not to like, and Carol is still a mother despite having no living children. She can't help but make the point, but it almost shocks her to hear something like that out of her mouth, when she once so tried to convince her girls to confront danger head on. Hindsight is a strange thing.
"You don't have to sleep on the streets here," Rain said reassuringly. "Even if you don't have any money or anything. You can just find an empty place and stay there for free for a while till you can make enough money."
Her eyes went towards the different apartment buildings and she shivered a little. "I didn't stay here, though. I felt safer in the woods. Most people like houses or things better, but not me."
Her little house in the woods might as well have been outside, it was just that open.
"I like the wind and the birds and the plants and the everythings. There's a river and flowers and lots and lots of trees."
