Although the offer of help is left unvoiced, she senses it all the same and smiles softly, giving the rogue's hand another grateful squeeze. After a thoughtful pause, she finally replies to her friend's questions. "I'm going to the library. I, um... I think it's time I told someone in the Fleet about the Nexus. Someone who can use this place to make a difference. But I want to do some research first. I'd like to have as much information as I can before I spring this on someone else."
It's not going to be easy. Years of keeping the Nexus a secret from everyone will be a tough habit to break. But now that Adia has made peace with the lack of a livable Earth in her universe, she needs to think about what she can do to help.
Her Fleet needs all the help it can get.
At the mention of the library, Bucky grumbles and ruffles his feathers. He had been silent all this time, watching Amelia with slowly decreasing suspicion until he was more or less feeling neutral about her presence. But he does not like the library. It's too much of a maze to fly in and he hates getting shushed. "Ary," he complains. Can't they walk around a little first?
Adia laughs a little and reaches up to smooth out Bucky's feathers. "Would you like to walk with me there?" she asks Amelia. She's in no hurry to part ways with her friends, feathered or not.
