"Operative word being 'from', I suppose, but-- yes. I am, too."
Because they all are. America has immigrants too, so why shouldn't Baedal be the same way, even if Benji has only tasted it for a short while. She also doesn't miss it, Wolfgang's ideas of what Baedal can allow, and a hand drifts up to worry the pedant on her chain. The unasked portion of the question hangs between them like the dust in the air, and she nods a little. They might as well be.
Because if Baedal is not a sort of cluster of people's ideas and pasts and prejudices brought together to make something new, Benji isn't sure what is. "We can go somewhere else," she invites, after a hesitant moment. A hand goes back, hooking two fingers against the more rudimentary latch that levers the door open from the inside.
She has to put this one back where he belongs, but she may as well not throw him just anywhere, after what they've both just been through. "Anywhere you remember is nice."
