That's putting it lightly. [The wist is gone, replaced with a little bit of a lazy smirk. It's probably for the best Riley doesn't hear all of the trouble that Mephisto and she have gotten into, discovering what life has to hold for them.]

There's so much to see, and do! Stephen helps, sometimes. [She won't dwell on that sometimes too much-- his pain isn't hers to tell, and Anna forgave him easily, even with all of her talk of Seventeen years. It's good to have someone with a sense of modern society about them-- and even better to have someone with a sense of obeying the law about them.] And Christine, when she's in town-- Santana is sometimes helpful too, though it's hard to tell when she's playing a trick, and when it's truth. [Not that she's bothered by that. Anna loves to laugh. It's one of the greatest delights of her new life, and she does it now.]

We have fun. I love having people around me, all the time. Being alone was good for me, ja? It made me who I am. [There's a little, affectionate nudge underneath the table. She knows Riley's time away is doing something similar, teaching her to be resourceful and smart, in the right ways.] But now. Life.
