"They can be kind of petty," Adia admits with an almost embarrassed look. "They've been sentient less than fifty years... I didn't think something like that would matter, but the one I work with, Julia, she seems really emotionally immature at times. They don't have a lot of empathy for us to begin with, anyway." Sensing Blaze's frustration, she adds, "They don't have much in common with you. Or you," she says, smiling briefly at Ghost.

At the change of subject, she nods hurriedly and takes a quick sip of hot chocolate. "Okay, lead the way. I've been doing some more exploring myself lately, but the winter weather has kept me closer to the Plaza most days."
