Marian has been stuck here weeks now. Longer than normal. She can feel it. Has counted it. The Door is keeping her longer than normal. With her father still jailed the otherside. 'Restless' does not begin to cover it.

One Lady, at the archery range,

Firing off arrows about as fast as she can reach for them.

Sympathetically, "You are Bound, too?"

"The last week at least," Marian inclined her head. "Yes."

"Then I hope your Door arrives soon."

Kait has been stuck here since she fell from the sky, but that doesn't mean she can't be sympathetic to another's plight.

"I can hope it does not take too long with it." Marian nodded, looking toward the building. "It's been finicky more than naught of late."

"Because of everything ending and starting again?" she asks as they walk towards Milliways.

"I'm uncertain." Marian tilted her head, walking. "It keeps me here for weeks at a time normally, but recently it skipped the better part of years here while only days passed at home, too. Which it hadn't done in a very long time."

"Time passes for you, back in your world?"

"Here, no. But, there, yes." Which could seem so much faster, given all that happened when she was home. Marian held the door open for Kait.

"Ah," she says, and she nods a thanks to Marian as she walks through.

She can't help a little bit of tension at having someone at her back, but she's good enough to conceal it from most eyes.

"I have..." she laughs, not at all humourless. "I have no idea how much time has passed here while I was locked out."

Marian nodded, noting the way Kait knots up but still pushes onward. It's almost too subtle to catch, and maybe the only reasons she does, is that it strikes her as incredibly familiar.

"I've come to realize it doesn't matter as much as I once thought it did, so long as those we have come to know are still here."
