"How much do you know? About them and why we're here?" Her voice was soft and comforting as she spoke. Cassie didn't know how much this young woman had already been told and if she wasn't already aware of what had happened to all their worlds, that was a bombshell that needed to be approached with the utmost caution and sensitivity. "The Daligig I can at least tell you are supposed to be our allies, although we don't seem to know much about them. At least the people that I've spoken to don't," she amended.

The Catastrophists? They had been a part of that awful battle on Lirath, but she hadn't heard any reference to them recently. Had this woman been around at that time or had she simply heard the name? "Did you fight on or around Lirath?"

With a kind smile, she asked, "May I ask your name? It might prove more comfortable for both of us if we weren't complete strangers. I'm Cassie."

(OOC: If this isn't good enough then please let me know and I'll fix it. I struggled a bit with the post, so I'm kind of worried about it. Thank you!)
