Suresh really doesn't know Elle's father like she does.

This wasn't a surprise for her. It doesn't mean she was in any less a foul mood in the time after their meeting, as she stalked through the halls of the Facility, more acutely aware of her confinement than she could ever remember being before.

For whatever that was worth.

The appearance of the bar when she returns to her room is enough to slow her pace, at least, though it doesn't stop her from slamming the door. When she's settled on a stool, the Bar greets her with one of Bela's books.

She snatches it up without complaint.

"Maybe outside," X says carefully, after considering it for a while.

"But I do not know."

[ellectrical]

She looks back down at the book.

"It'd be hard to do outside."

X frowns slightly, thinking.

"I do not know if paint would be effective. Or drawing it in the dirt."

It might be too easy to destroy.

Elle also thinks about it. For a moment.

And when coming up with nothing that would be remotely helpful -

"Want to go outside and practice?"

It is tangentially related.

[cutting_edgex23]

"Okay," X says.

And then she stands up.

There is, after all, no point in wasting time.
