Huh. Of course, the question most readily on his tongue is why don't they talk about that? It seems like it would be important?
But that question is quickly replaced by another thought.
"You're leaving everything behind? Wow. That is pretty serious."
Even knowing what he did about YoRHa, it had still been so hard to even consider leaving it all behind. Even knowing that he would die if he went back to Earth, the decision to turn away from it all had been a near visceral agony, as if someone were forcibly ripping out his black box from his chest.
The thought of bringing Rita to Earth never once entered his mind.
But from his understanding... "Wouldn't you miss it? Your home."
"What's there to miss?" Lambert snorts. "Hunting monsters in swamps? Getting cheated out of money? Knowing the closest thing I have to home is a castle that's got more holes than it does a roof?"
He shrugs, leaning back against the edge of the bath.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I think it'll be easy. I just want to go more than I want to stay. That's all there is to it."
9S' gaze dips to the water's surface as he stretches out his legs. Well, those things do sound kind of lousy. The hunting monsters bit could be fun and maybe even the swamp bit, depending on whether swamps are less annoying than deserts. It's hard to top the way sand gets into everything...
But...
"Yeah, I get it." A brighter future awaits. 9S grins, his cat ears perking up. "So, has Childermass told you much about his world? What are you looking forward to?"
