Streets of Fandom, Sunday Morning
It was early in the morning, at least for a Sunday.
And Octavia was out, roaming the streets. Or at least walking around, eyeing everything with the kind of wary looks that you gave things when you weren't quite sure you could trust any of it. Or believe it, even. None of this was what she was used to.
And maybe she looked it, in her warrior gear.
She stopped at a shop window at random. The place was closed right now, but there was a window display full of merchandise, and it looked so foreign and alien to her. Not the things themselves – although comic books and collectible figurines also weren't really within the scope of Octavia's life experience – but the way they were being displayed so proudly behind a glass for seemingly no reason.
Look, she understood what shops were. She just wasn't used to them.
So she was frowning at the window of a comic book store. That was not weird at all.
[ooc: Open! Feel free to run into the wary warrior lady either outside Android's Dungeon or just somewhere in the streets.]

"Hello," he offered politely.

No, scratch that. It was going to take a long while.
Still, she managed a vague... noise of acknowledgement that wasn't outright hostile, or anything. Maybe it was even a 'hey', if you squinted.

There hadn't really been comic books on the Ark. At least not where she, personally, had grown up – their closed-off household had been more interested in mythology.
"So take that as a 'no'."

"That one's Bitterwoman, I think," he offered, pointing. "Which is about all I know. Comics aren't really my thing either."

She didn't sound impressed with the name.

Sorry, Liam. Octavia had a lot of questions.

Yes, Octavia. He probably didn't need you pointing that out for him.

Okay, maybe she was trying to convince herself of something.

Liar.
Well, kinda – she was currently stuck not really looking forward norbackward because guess she was still half in shock over this turn of events.
But she could still square her shoulders and claim to be doing something smart. And then not elaborate on that point. At all.
