Nod.

They will leave her alone again.

She goes back to watching the TV.

They consult.

And have forgotten at least one question, which, it is not possible to work, certainly not in strange areas, and not make mistakes, even as they sadden.

"Have you spent most of your life in the same place? As opposed to moving around more, for instance living somewhere and then being taken somewhere else?"

She puzzles over this one for a minute.

She does not at all mind waiting patiently.

"Eeeh?" she offers, eventually.

"Ok. That's alright.

Do you know if you recently went or were moved from one place to live to another?"

She thinks about this one, too, and then shakes her head.

Nod.

"Did anything unusual happen recently before you got transported here?"

She shrugs.

Nod. As in general, body language meant to convey as well as it can do so that this is a very alright response. 

They consult again. 

If it is L it doesn't sound like she ever actually kept the arrival to herself. Just moved her from - wherever she was before. Which is, absolutely, the kind of game she might play. Even 'make Shen be the one to reach out' - might be. (There are still no messages).

I'm - going to try scrying. Might be something important we need to know... ('And if she doesn't like it maybe she'll like punishing me for it', she doesn't say).

She doesn't need her to say it. She squeezes her hand.

(And how is the arrival?)

Watching them. Stressed, and trying to hide it.

She notices, takes attention away from the consultation.

"We're not going to hurt you. You don't have to believe that, it makes sense that you wouldn't. But we're not. 

We're not sure how it happened that you got here, but we're trying to figure it out. And if we find out and you don't want to go back there, you don't have to. You can stay here, or go somewhere else. And we won't let them come hurt you."

She shrugs, again. It's pretty clear she doesn't believe it.

This is not surprising. 

"You don't have to believe me, when I say any of that. It makes sense that you wouldn't. But if something's wrong and we could make it better, we'd want to make it better."

She flops sideways and curls up again.

"...is something wrong right now?"

She doesn't answer.

"Ok. Well, if it is and you want to try to tell me, that's alright. And if you don't that's also alright."

She curls up a little tighter and closes her eyes.

She will read this as a 'the safest assumption is that she does not want to' and let her be.

She doesn't uncurl. (She does relax a little, after a few minutes pass without anything happening to her.)
