At the mention of her adjustment, Lily looked around them for a moment, before looking back at Five rather dubiously.

"I wasn't aware there was much of a choice beyond adjusting." Time travel existed, she'd read about time-turners in school and even indulged the rumor there was one on school grounds. It was the idea of different worlds that struck her as the strange part but confronted with the apparent reality of the situation Lily had no choice but to accept that it was the case. They had all been brought to this place, and the implications of just that fact alone were huge.

"So if this is what it is, then I want to help figure out the hows and the whats of it."

His eyebrows twitch up, but he shrugs a moment later. Not that he's one to talk, but he feels like a normal person would take more than a few days to be so casual about meeting others from entirely different timelines. What that familiarity says about her is an unknown. But noted.

"By seeing who you'll run across in the garden?" That's one approach. He can almost empathize with her. If he knew he couldn't do anything to fix what's broken, he might be right where she is, trying to figure out how turnips grow in the winter.

"How's that going so far?"

Looking around the garden nonchalantly Lily turned back to Five and answered his question with a shrug. "I've met you, you've told me more than I knew before I came to the garden."

What was she supposed to do? Lily had no idea if the people in the woods were going to gang up on her again and toss her in the lake once more. It seemed prudent to keep close to where something like that was less likely to happen and try to find out what others knew - in the garden or otherwise.

"Are you always so skeptical of people?" She asked mildly.

As often the case, Five inevitably gave away more than he learned. Even expecting that, he narrows his eyes when she points it out. It's typical that he can provide genuinely useful information and still get sass for it.

"If that makes you feel better. As a general rule, I tend to question everyone who crawls out of a lake and shows up at our door." Someone has to. It's ridiculous how easy they are to infiltrate, but it's not like he trusts the people he's known longer either. He'll always insist on doing it himself. "I'm sure everyone else has been welcoming enough to make up for it."

That's not to say he doesn't believe her story. He just finds it best that she knows where she stands with him.

"I'll leave you to it." All smiles. Turning the subject to him is the quickest way to get him to go, it seems, and he starts to move past her. He's learned enough to satisfy him for now, but he leaves that door open in case he changes his mind.

"I won't be far, whenever I'm needed."
