Never mind the offer of a change of topic, then. It seems she's willing to talk after all, if maybe a little carefully.

"Well, if you're not from Earth you're probably in good shape. That's where most people here seem like they come from. There's really only just a couple of us now who aren't."

And it seems safe to assume she's not from Earth, if she's nervous about even talking about which world she came from Earth has so many people that it must be easy to hide among all of them. Or that's the impression he gets, anyway, from the stories he hears here - and he does like hearing them.

He also certainly understands the feeling of being worried someone from home might show up and turn his own life chaotic in ways he's not comfortable with, but Rosinante figures he's set himself up to be pretty fortunate. Here, people know him as kind, respectable, and hard-working. He's a good, honest, loyal soldier who died fighting to save a kid's life. If someone showed up and it was his word against theirs, surely they would believe him, as it's all rooted mostly in truth and how could they know any different?
