Mun,

I have been many places since I joined the army. However, the place I most want to see is my home. I do not know if they will accept me, but I must try. [A small tremble enters her voice.] After everything I have done -

Everything I have seen -

Their approval means the most to me. I think you understand how I feel? [She smiles knowingly before blushing profusely.] What about General Shang? I...have no control over what he does.

You're lucky you have a home to go back to. It's worth the try to see your family again, right?

[honor_us_all]

You don't have one?

[waspromisedcake]

No.

I did once, but it's hard to remember them...

[honor_us_all]

I'm sorry. [She smoothes her hands through her hair nervously.] I am grateful for mine - even if they disown me.

[waspromisedcake]

[She considers this.]

Why?

[honor_us_all]

They are good people and I love them.

[waspromisedcake]

If they're good people, why would you be worried they'll disown you?

[honor_us_all]

They have many reasons not to forgive me. I could not - and would not - blame them.

[waspromisedcake]

[She thinks back on a certain robot, and how she doesn't know if she could forgive him if she ever sees him again.]

Guess I can see things from their point of view.

But, like you said, have to try first.

[honor_us_all]

I did what I thought was right. [She turns away.] I saved many lives, but their lives mean the most to me.

[waspromisedcake]

[Chell doesn't know much about saving others; it's her own skin she's always trying to save.]

Well, that's... good. They'll probably be proud of that. I guess.

[Is this her being comforting? She has no idea. People skills are practically non-existent, right here.]

[honor_us_all]

I hope so. [Her voice is quiet and tentative.] I will go home and find out.

[waspromisedcake]

Good luck with that.

[A pause.]

Hope everything works out for you. You seem nice.

[honor_us_all]

Thank you. [Her cheeks color at the compliment and she bows humbly.] You were nice enough to listen to my concerns. I appreciate your advice.

[waspromisedcake]

Not sure if it was really advice, but you're welcome.

I'm Chell.

[honor_us_all]

You made me feel better. I appreciate that.

Mulan.

[waspromisedcake]

That's new for me. I haven't been around people much.
