"Maybe," Abby's mind is still very certain she doesn't belong here. Or maybe she doesn't belong here yet. Her thoughts on home and where that is are far too complicated to figure out. But something about her being meant to be anywhere felt wrong. "Cadens has a little less problem with me being a disrespectful shithead than I think the others would go for though."

"Not- exactly first, but close enough." A trip to the desert involved monsters, but being smaller threats than any of the recent lot, and having a tall stabby man with her meant that it was a wake-up call while safely protected. "This time I knew more magic and had a better handle on my gifts from the Singularity. So I kind of went looking for monsters. Like- I didn't hide in Cadens where there wasn't a portal."

She didn't feel right just going on with her day, pretending monsters weren't hurting people. People she liked.
