[Oh, she has a daughter. He isn't sure if he should ask or not, but Clarke brought her up, so he thinks it probably okay--]
You have a daughter? Is she here, or still in your world?
[Lance never met his son--even if Lance hadn't arrived in Hadriel, he knows he would've died before his son is actually born--but he can at least guess at how difficult it would be in both situations. On one hand, having your child with you means you aren't separated and can do something to protect them, but on the other it means they have to be in such a dangerous situation as these places tend to be.
The subject of missing friends is also complicated, but in a totally different way, and he's unsure about how much to say. Eventually he decides on an abbreviated version of the truth that still gives context, hopefully without being too confusing.]
Yeah, I'm happy. Nate is one of the two people I knew best in Hadriel. The other one was... I was actually trying to go to her world--that's where I was supposed to be, not here--and I hoped I might be able to visit Nate's world eventually, but we didn't really expect to see each other again.
[And so although he misses the Kyna from Hadriel terribly, and he hates being back in the situation of being afraid that any day he could disappear from this world and go back to his to die, the fact that Nate is here helps make it so much more manageable.]
