Precisely.

[And just like that , Elizabeth comes right back to practicality, to simplicity, to sense. A neat little circle, reason to emotion to reason, and there's something perfectly-suited about how cleanly she ties it all together.

The common strain of humanity is a crude and unsatisfying thing, to Rosalind, who has always been drawn to the undreamed-of. But after everything that's happened, seeing dozens of dozens of iterations of the girl, there is an unanticipated, quiet pleasure in these quiet suggestions that Elizabeth is exceptional in a way unlike any of the men or women who have brought her to this point.

Perhaps it should not be so unanticipated. Rosalind, after all, has always gravitated toward the exceptional. She glances back at last, pushing lightly off the desk and clasping her hands in front of her.]

Preventing what you do not desire, and pursuing what you do. Not that you seem to have especial trouble with either.

[Elizabeth chuckles.] No, I don't have a problem with that. Hazard of being an only child, right?

[That was a sort of off-color joke, Rosalind might appreciate it? Strangely enough, Elizabeth doesn't mind Rosalind's extreme practicality on most things. Booker had a tendency to view things in a purely pessimistic way, and Robert and Gai would only tell her everything would turn out for the best. Rosalind was obviously the middle ground, and seeing that variation makes her smile in the face of walking into the unknown.]

I'll be in a desert, apparently. What can you tell me about deserts?

[She actually gives a soft noise for that, a little 'hm' that is as appreciative as it is bemused, as she walks over to have a look at Elizabeth's incompletely packed bags.]

The warm sort? That they know no forgiveness. Be as ready for the cold of night as you are for the heat of day. Drink as much water as you can bear. Keep the sun from your skin.
