“ siblings, right? ” she asks in a WEAK attempt at normalcy, her voice lilting up with the question, a trace of nervous laughter in her words. a quick glance in the direction of where she’d been sitting revealed an empty booth. “ and they’re gone. of course. ” kara huffs, but it’s all in good humor, leads amy aine to the booth, and sets down the tray of drinks. the question catches her off guard, it shouldn’t, not really, but it does, and it STARTLES her. “ i’m, uh — i’m an argoer, from argo city, ” it’s not a lie, but it certainly won’t mean much to someone who has no idea about kryptonian geography. she wants to be honest, wants to share her truth with amy aine, but she can’t tell her that she’s kryptonian, can’t reveal she’s from the same planet as supergirl, living in the SAME city as her, not without revealing completely who she is, “ lurvan. that… that’s where i’m from. ” again. she’s not lying ( she couldn’t, she loves her friend too much to be completely dishonest with her ), but she’s being a bit more broad than just naming her city — lurvan was the STATE that she’d grown up in, “ i lived there until i uh, until i was twelve. my parents sent me away because the planet… ” take a deep breath kara. the blonde grabs one of the drinks in front of her, sips it, “ the planet’s core was unstable. ”
“Siblings,” she agrees, smiling at the familiar exasperation in Kara’s voice when the other notices the absence of her sister. Amy Aine follows her over to the booth, sliding into the seat and placing her own drink down on the table. She hadn’t been brave enough to try any of the mysteriously named alien concoctions on the menu, opting instead for beer like a good Irish girl. If she’d taken a moment to think through the question before asking it, perhaps she would have realized that the answers might make no sense to her, but instead she smiles and nods as if Kara’s naming places she knows, not wanting to press for further details when the woman is already clearly uncomfortable. “Oh,” a soft noise of surprise and sorrow escapes as Kara admits why she left, or rather, was sent away. “I’m sorry.” It seems deeply inadequate, but there isn’t anything better to offer. “Your sister, she came with you?” The phrasing suggests that her parents stayed behind, and Amy Aine can’t imagine the pain of that loss, abandoning literally your entire world and leaving behind loved ones you knew could be lost to you forever.
