"She's from the undercity." Caitlyn sighs. "The city we're from is divided in two by a river. Topside and the undercity, colloquially. There's always been... tension. There was even a battle when I was eight or so; I remember seeing the smoke from the fires they set on the bridge. Growing up, I heard all sorts of stories about how dangerous it is down there, that it's overrun with criminals and violent gangs. But it isn't."
She says it earnestly, but then pauses to think about it for a moment.
"I mean, it is, I suppose. But the people aren't any different than topside. Not really. Most of them are good people who just want to live their lives."
She frowns around at their company - who seem to have largely forgotten about them and moved on with the game - before continuing. "Just because we're from opposite sides of the river, I don't see why we can't be together."
