( Again, that comes as a surprise. She invited it, she supposes, but didn't imagine he'd make such an offer right now.
It really isn't proper behaviour. That's the first thought. She shouldn't have encouraged it. But then, she didn't think he'd take it as seriously as he apparently is. That it would just be one of those meaningless ideas people bounce around without it ever coming to fruition.
The sad truth is that she wants to make friends. To smile and laugh and have fun again. To be part of the world. Even if this world isn't the world she knows.
Hasn't she betrayed Elijah enough already? Or does it even matter anymore?
Those thoughts are too much to consider. So she sets them aside and smiles. Stands up and gently returns the rabbit to its enclosure with the quiet promise that she'll come back to give more fuss.
Then she goes back to Carter, expression uncertain yet intrigued. )

Okay. How do we do this?
