[Chell had been looking forward to this since she'd been on expedition. And she had a promise to keep. So, she's sitting on one of the lobby sofas, waiting expectantly for Jennifer. It'll be so nice to catch up with her friend. It really has been a long time.]

I've read some books and things on that. I'm not sure if anything I read would be helpful... But apparently when you experience something that reminds you of something bad, or is the same situation, it can take you a while to move past it. Just don't beat yourself up. You got enough bad treatment from the person holding you hostage, I'd think.

[Chell smiles kindly at her friend.]

And you're right about familiarity.

[Jennifer nods slowly and returns the smile.]

I'm trying not to be too down on myself, yeah. I keep reminding myself that I would have been no good to anybody if she'd ended up shooting me... or worse.

[She shudders a little at the thought.]

I did what I hoped was the smart thing and just took care of her wound as best I could.

[silentrunning]

I think that was exactly what you needed to do. I think you have a lot of courage.

I made you something, while I was out on the expedition. Remember you told me you once got turned into a turtle?

[Chell pulls a neatly folded picture out of her pocket. It's a turtle with a rainbow shell.]

I drew this and it reminded me of you.

[forsometimenow]

Well, thank you for saying so... I certainly didn't feel it.

[Jennifer takes the picture and laughs.]

Very cute! I'll never forget that- it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me, and I've seen my fair share of strange things. I'll put this up on my wall as a reminder, though.

[Chell grins!]

I'm glad you like it. What're some of the other strange things you've seen?
