"I can imagine." If not for the presence of people she knew from home, Nunnally would certainly have felt far more lost and confused after arriving in this place. There were drawbacks, of course, and the confusion that came with seeing people she'd never thought to see ever again, but...it was better than being alone. She regarded the man for a moment longer, her gaze steady and faintly curious. "It can be a comfort, but when it comes at the price of loved one enduring the same, then perhaps the worry outweighs the benefit."

The sound of Lelouch's footsteps was still familiar enough that she recognized his approach well before he spoke up, and Nunnally turned to smile up at him with part of her attention still on her new acquaintance. Something about him had caught her attention; perhaps it was the way that he'd mentioned meeting Lelouch previously and yet the two of them didn't seem particularly friendly. She didn't expect Lelouch to be open and cheerful, but something about it felt just a little bit off, somehow.

Her brother seemed uninterested in anything but fussing with her hair, though, so she just returned her full attention to Sam again. "Do you have family here as well?"
