Roy Greenhilt has found his way back through the portal, I think. My only hope is that he didn't find his way through death.

[She hadn't been quite on speaking terms yet with him when he left, but she seems very upset about it. Letha is making her video from the local hospital, waiting outside of one of the recovery rooms. She's dressed up pretty with braids woven through her otherwise loose hair, so anyone who knows her won't have to guess at all who she's visiting. And at this angle, it's obvious that her pregnancy is now well over the halfway mark.]

I hadn't realized how hard a job it was to be a nurse until I came here... that sounds silly, doesn't it? I haven't gotten many injuries in my life, and I never concerned myself with medicine, but - more than that, I think anyone who comes into Ivar's room should be carrying a shield...

[She sighs. She's starting to think that taking a break from dumb adventures was a mistake, all she has to occupy herself with is worrying.]

Does anyone want to go... do something? I've spent entirely too long in this chair.

Well that's silly... they are different, so people treat them accordingly. [She hesitates.] If I were to bring Ivar back to my world, I would expect them to treat me like a blood traitor, that's how things are.

[If it were Mary talking, she'd have much more issue with it... but it's Letha, so she's very removed from the issue.]

Treating people as different isn't the same as treating them lesser. I'm different from my friends, but they don't act better than me.

...except when it comes to schoolwork.

*Okay so sometimes someone is better than someone else.*

[Lola gets a light-hearted little huff from her.]

You make a fuss about the oddest things. Just because they aren't rude about it doesn't mean they aren't better or worse than you. They've simply learned to treat the subject politely.

[No, Letha. No.]
