[ Not mistaken identity at all! In fact, she's got no identity in mind period—just whoever is sitting next to her. Yesod was unfortunately in her line of fire.

She drops her hand and narrows her eyes at him. Her eyes briefly flicker to his untouched drink. She probably should have asked this before jabbing him with a weird question but. She's massively tipsy. Sue her. ]

You're an Outsider too, right? Most people in here are.

[ He follows her glance, considering for a moment how he should interpret it. Perhaps she's contemplating ordering a refill for herself, which seems unwise, given her current state. Fortunately, her focus remains on the conversation, and he offers his confirmation with a nod. ]

I am.

[ Of course, their group of Outsiders needs to take care to keep up their civilian identities while they are gathered here, he supposes. ]

This troubles you?

[picky]

[ She shakes her head and it feels like it weighs a million pounds. ]

Nope. Just checking, 'cause the Outsiders all come from so many different worlds, and we can all be different species too.

[ She scratches at something on the bar counter, suddenly deep in thought. ]

So... I wanted to know how long each species' lifespans are. That's all.

[ Ah. Then she might be concerned that some of their fellow recruits are effectively at death's door, he concludes. That seems to be the sort of logic that could drive someone to tears, if they are the type to grow emotional, and all the more so while under the influence. ]

...My situation is somewhat complicated.

[ How should he explain it? In public, no less... Besides, it's debatable whether any of it would be reassuring to hear right now. ]

However, I am unlikely to die in the near future, unless a kaiju attack or other such circumstances were to become the cause.

( ooc: hi! i assume yesod will bring up the fact that he's a robot if she asks why he can't die... since we're already working through that in another thread, is it okay if i end things here for now? )

[penaltypoints]

( ooc: Sure, that sounds good to me, ty for checking! I'm fine with focusing on the other thread and handwaving things here. )

( ooc: thanks so much!! )
