"Quite well, as a matter of fact!" says Bee with pleasure and mild relief at not being asked her allegiance. "I kinda like it here. I've made lots of new friends, and I'll be able to set up some beehives soon. That's what I used to do back home."

Hm - better not mention where the beehives are being set up. And who any of her friends are! This is tricky. And it'll be worse if they find out later and think she was lying to them. She makes up her mind to tell them who she is, but only after they've gotten into the apartment. Once they're all settled and acquainted, she'll find a way to admit it. It's only right.

"I know most people want to go home," she says, "but... I'm enjoying myself so far. It's a new adventure."
