Calibrations

The space is clearly an apartment of some sort. Comfortable and comfortably appointed. Some of the walls are bare bricks, or plastered walls painted in a similar color. One portion is clearly set up as a living room, with a green love seat oriented toward a flat screen television, and with a coffee table. On that table was a pile of pizza boxes, cans of sosa, bags of chips, and a remote control. It's perfectly set up for some television binging. Wonder what's on the tube.

Lauri-Ell herself is stretched out on one side of this loveseat, slouching and with one leg draped over the arm of the loveseat, an orange tabby cat sitting in her lap and purring as she pets it. Her attention is fully on the screen, as if she expects something of it, but she hasn't reached to turn it on.

Nearby is a bookshelf, atop which are two framed pictures. One displays a blonde woman who looks a bit like Lauri-Ell, smiling radiantly in the arms of a black man. Next to that is a photo of a younger version of the same blond woman, held in the arms of an older woman. There again is the familial resemblance, and there is more to Lauri-Ell and the older woman than there is to the blonde girl, especially since Lauri-Ell clearly has the woman's hair.

The room transitions into a kitchenette with only a bit of wall to mime at separation. There's no door, just an open space that is too wide for a door, too narrow for 'open plan' living. Near the far window, looking out on the streets of New York, is a kitchen table with a few chairs. Leaning against it rests Lauri-Ell's Hammer, begging for attention. Could it possibly be safely touched in this space, even if it can't in real life?

Finally the kitchen has pantries one can look in, which are mostly empty, and a fridge covered in photos. The place is rather empty, like the apartment exists for someone to live in, but that person isn't around as much as they could be. Perhaps that's exactly what it's like. But given nothing in here is of a scale suitable for Lauri-Ell, it's no doubt that this place isn't properly hers.

"Really? Yeah, probably not the most exciting meals then. Some people on Earth believe that it is perfectly fine to have breakfast for dinner so probably the same thing."

He nodded. "Everyone deserves to have some freedom in life. I spent much of my life in an organization that follows very strict rules so I have some idea what that is like. But it's hard to be that all the time."

Shiro happened to be standing so that he saw something change near the front of the room, but he wasn't paying too much attention to it at the moment.

"If you want to talk about it some time, I'd be willing to listen."

"Of course I would. Some might think that way. But, you're not wrong for wanting something more if you ask me."

"Of course. If you need to hear it from time to time, I'm happy to remind you." He smiled back, glad to see her smiling again.

And Shiro preferred to see people smiling as well. It was sad when they weren't. Also people needed to know that they weren't just there to work or be soldiers. They were also allowed to have a life.

"Sounds good."

Yeah, it was time to go.

"Yeah, talk to you soon."

And he would head towards the door.
