[Ana has been mostly avoiding the network since her loss of the ambassadorial elections, partly out of embarrassment and partly out of relief. She wasn't sure she wanted to be in charge of anything, really. Still, dwelling on the election had made her think of home, her real position, with her people...and her family. Which was why this evening network post happened.]

[There might have been a glass or two of wine involved, too, if she was being honest.]

Hi. [She started, then hesitated, collecting her thoughts.]

I know that most all of us have left loved ones behind when we brought here. Friends, families...lovers. But...

[Another beat and a small breath.]

Is anyone else married? It's so strange. I've spent...mm. Longer than I'd like to admit with Vein. Good times and awful times but always...there.

I've been here nearly a year, now. A year without him or my daughter and...

[Where was she going with this? Another pause.]

Mm. I suppose I just need a distraction.

Tell me about your families. If anyone would like to, at least. Here or...there.

That might be a problem I have myself, if we're being honest. Royalty is in my blood as much as hers. I've just had more time to...temper it.

[Even if she doesn't look a day older than Lucy oops.]

But, should the chance come again...I could be convinced to run again, most likely. But I've learned not to try and guess what tomorrow will bring. Especially here.

Ah! Then forgive my lack of giving you a proper address, Your Grace. I did not realize I was speaking to royalty.

[ Respect, at least on a superficial level, has been ingrained in him. ]

The unpredictability of this world is one of its charms, I suppose. Though when it comes to statistics alone -- of the three imPorts who serve as ambassador, one will likely port out before the rest. I would say you have a good chance of still being in this world when that happens.

Don't worry about it. I have been other things far longer than I was ever really that.

[The complicated title problems of the living dead.]

If titles are something you care about, heirophant was mine. But it means nothing here, so I mostly tend to ignore it. Count Dooku is the only one that seems to insist on using it.

[Very formal, that one.]

You're probably right. I suppose we'll see. And then I'll let you know.

[baetiful]

Titles are part of who you are, the echo of what you have in your home. You may not have those same things here, but I would say it's important all the same.

[ His tone becomes jovial. ]

But I do believe we will speak on this matter again. Perhaps sooner than either of us realize. I look forward to our next conversation.
