"That's fantastic. What sorts of assignments do they start you off on?" She glances at the blank canvas in front of him and smiles. "I'm glad to hear that you continue to have time for your art."

The tabby next to Adia meows and sniffs at Hunter's shoes. "Oh, sorry. Hunter, this is Anastasia, Zunar's sister. Caspar is finally more comfortable with letting her accompany us in the Nexus. He's very protective of her..." She looks down at Ana and smiles wryly. "Although to be fair, she had a bad habit of getting into places she wasn't supposed to when she was a kitten."

She crosses her arms around herself loosely, expression thoughtful. "I think the Nexus is good for that. You inevitably meet others that are different from you, sometimes even in a frightening way, but then you learn that you have something in common with them... and that helps." She sighs softly. "Oceanglide was from a war-torn world, just as I was. Opposing factions trying their best to get along. When some of the Cylons rebelled and needed to work with us, I took the lessons he taught me to heart. I wish he still visited the Nexus... I think he'd be happy to know that things worked out as well as they did."
