With her PINpoint tucked away, she gives Josh her full attention, although she does smile at Ice Bear when he reappears briefly to take Josh's order. She's so glad she suggested meeting him for coffee instead of at some crowded New Year's party. The quiet atmosphere at the café is far more relaxing.

"I did! There wasn't any champagne or anything, but I managed to ring in the New Year." As young couples often do, with a kiss... perhaps more than that, she and Caspar weren't exactly keeping track of the time...

Blushing faintly, she takes a sip of her latte, then sets it down hurriedly. "Josh, listen... I want to know how your New Year's was, too, but I have some very good news to share with you. A few months ago, my people finally found a home. A planet that... well, so far as I can tell, it's an Earth." She beams. "Like your world, Josh. We're safe now, the war's over."
