I can't say it's completely selfless, but... I do find people to be my highest priority. No matter what I might have to do or say, I'd want nothing more than to see them thrive.
What about you, miss--- ah, I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
Uh, Noelle. Sorry for not saying that earlier. I have been disoriented all day.
[So much has happened and it's taking her way too long to adjust. She's not convinced at all this is real. She still thinks it's likely some parahuman has used a power to lock her in some weird fake place]
I think I'm...I have never been really all that good at talking to people. Normal teenager things.
[Funnily enough, she was the one guys used to be romantically interested in, back when she was in her normal life, so hey, she did have enough people skills to navigate that]
Ah, Noelle -- Yes, yes, we spoke on the forum earlier. [About a pretty similar subject, too, so at least she's consistent.] There's no need to apologize. This isn't what I'd call a normal situation.
It's not an easy time of life, bein a teenager. Everything feels so big and yet so restricting at the same time.
What makes it hard, do you think? Talking to people, I mean.
[Oh what a good GOOD answer for Noelle to peek out of her shell for. He looks genuinely pleased at that.]
Good girl.
I think you're doing exactly the right thing, then. People may not like the answers you give, but if you're confident in what you believe, you will find the people that are worth being around.

Hahah... I mean, it's not where I'd like to stay forever, if that's what you mean.
But I'm not about to leave before I find out what's going on. Especially not if others feel they're stuck.
What kind of person would that make me, I wonder?

[More like she has always been a skittish person, haha]
no subject
Is it more important to say what others want to hear, though, or what you believe is right?
no subject
[Well at least she didn't hesitate when saying that!]

[She won't go as far to be untrue to herself, but rejection still hurts]
no subject
But it's not unusual to feel that way. And it's a hurt that heals with time.

You'll find your place. So long as you don't give up looking for it.
no subject
[Well, it's easier to try this when you're back to normal. If normality holds up, she will be willing to not give up]

[It's a very obvious tease, since he doesn't sound hurt in the slightest.]

I promise, my hair has always been this color.

[Sorry, Solomon, but this means you have always been real ancient from your very first second of existence]
no subject
You could probably spot me in the darkest of holes as a little boy by just the color of my hair if I wasn't too careful.
