Oh - what a very long time that is. Jane can't help but show her sympathy, as well as trepidation. Will she be here for so long? Will it be the rest of her life? Who will look after Bertha or Adele?
The mention of 'Tortall' is similarly discomfiting - she's never heard of such a place, and the hope that they are sisters in country fades away with disappointing quickness. She shakes her head slightly, sorry to confirm the girl's words.
"I come from England," she says, muted. People have seemed to know what that is. And she knew of the colonies, of course. This world is far in what seems to be her future. How strange and lonely it must be to be from a country no one knows. She had thought this was difficult for her, but for Daine it must be even more so.
However the mention of the Base is enough to brighten her a bit. "I am relieved you know it," she says. "I live there as well. Meeting you is good fortune indeed, even if it must happen with weather so inclement."
