[font=trebuchet ms]Sci-fi was science fiction, Straw knew that much, but what did Fahrenheit 451 mean? Wasn't Fahrenheit a temperature measurement? She was only familiar with Celsius, not that they had any real use for either of the temperature scales without a thermometer. Maybe the book explained the meaning of the title; she'd have to ask Lilja sometime if she could borrow it. It sounded interesting.
As for the first and last thing she thought of each day, that varied, and the things she thought about most often while waking up or going to sleep weren't necessarily things she felt ready to share yet. Before she could offer an answer, though, Killua came over- and almost immediately he was asking questions that she didn't know the answer to. The groups, she probably could have named a few of, but she had no idea why the merge had happened.
Unsure of what to say, Straw stared quietly at him, internally repeating commands not to freak out. Someone else might know. Even if they didn't, it wasn't her fault, it had happened before she ever came around. Then again, maybe she should've learned their history?
Thankfully, a savior arrived in the form of Tena. Straw relaxed her shoulders, reaching a paw up to adjust her mask. Clarence and Bex were names she'd make sure to remember. Once Tena finished and asked a question of her own, Straw glanced up at the sky. "I have a sister," she said, curling her tail around her paws. "Haven't talked in months though." Hopefully Ly was okay. There was no reason she wouldn't be, right?
After a few moments, she asked, "Favorite type of weather?"
