[After they finish speaking to the people who accidentally brought them here and she's had a chance to head to her cabin for a while, Natalie is exploring around the entire camp. When she comes across the Director's Office and notices a certain someone inside playing with the rabbits, she leans against the doorway, looking towards Flayn.]
You seem like you're having fun.

[She's had some time to calm down after seeing the profile and get changed - and honestly? These rabbits are quite nice. She's not going to try and take them, since they were all warned, but she can't say she isn't a little bit tempted.]
Petting them is very calming... it helps me to think. [She smiles faintly.] How are you doing?

[She's in an oversized plaid shirt and black leggings, herself, and tilting her head as Flayn speaks.]
Well, nobody has started stabbing each other, so I'm doing okay. [CHEERFUL... She moves on, though.] You sure they're safe?
[She's... eyeing that note.]

[That is always a plus.]
They are! So long as you do not try to take them out of here, they are very sweet. [She pats the ground next to her.] Would you like to pet one? I will hold it still for you.

Ah - no, I'm good.
[Too soft for her, or something.]
So, what do you think?

[That's fine. More rabbits for her!
...her expression grows a little more serious as she answers, though.]
I think... it would be very nice if this was a vacation, as our hosts have said, but I am not certain that it actually is.

Most vacations don't come equipped with jail cells.
[Lightly.]
[Lightly.]
No, they do not.
[She glances in the direction of the waiting room door, though. Should they be talking about this where they might hear them? ...on the other hand, maybe they're still busy conversing with the others and aren't back here right now.]
Though if we were to ask, I imagine we would be told it is for just in case someone decides to hurt someone.

[She thinks that over, but there's a small frown on her face as she does.]
If that's the case, wouldn't an infirmary or clinic or something be a more natural choice?

Yes, I am surprised they do not have something like that.
[She frowns.]
But if someone was to intercept anyone who tried to hurt someone, we could bring them here to prevent them from being able to.

...I guess so.
[She could ask 'and then what', but she doesn't want to bring the mood down that much. Instead:]
Do they have names? The - rabbits.

I am not certain...
[Huh. Maybe she should feed them so she can get an audience and ask.]
What would you name them, if they did not?

I don't know. Not really my thing.
[She glances at Flayn for another second, curious.]
You?
[She glances at Flayn for another second, curious.]
You?
Hmmm...
[she picks one of the rabbits up to look it in the eye, contemplating potential names. it squirms and hops out of her hands, then scampers away.]
Ah! That one is very quick. Perhaps I would name it Bernadetta, then.

[She tilts her head.]
Friend from home, or...?
[She tilts her head.]
Friend from home, or...?
A classmate. She was skilled at [running away from] escaping situations she did not feel comfortable in, just like that little one over there.
[the rabbit's whiskers give a twitch, like it knows it's being talked about.]

[Skilled at running away from things she didn't want to deal with... A girl after Natalie's own heart. She lets out a laugh despite herself, nodding.]
Wonder what she'd say if she knew you said that.
Wonder what she'd say if she knew you said that.
Perhaps she would be flattered. It is adorable, just like her!
Very much so. ...I hope she is doing well, back home.
Well, if you believe our hosts, you'll be able to find out as soon as they fix the portals.
[She does not necessarily believe this herself, but.]
[She does not necessarily believe this herself, but.]
Yes... if we believe them.
[She would like to, but.]
...even in that case, repairing them could take some time. It sounds as though it is a difficult task.

[WELL, A SWORD SURE IS DEAD.
Flayn is staring glumly at the bonfire, her head in her hands. It's frustrating that this is playing out just the way they'd all half-expected (or fully expected) it to - but it isn't as if they can change the past.
She catches sight of Natalie out of the corner of her eye and lifts her head.]
Oh... Natalie. [A beat.] ...this is not a surprise to any of us, is it?

[But from her expression and voice, it seems like it doesn't make it any less infuriating for her. She's staring at the fire too, but her arms are crossed over her torso instead as she glares into the flames.]
But it's still... [Oh, she already knows this word.] Bullshit.

It is complete bullshit.
