No one expects Carmen let go of her old life completely. The memories alone
are worth holding on to, which Mary more than understands. Being friends
will always be an option for them because of how she cares for Dean.
Mary glances back at Carmen but refrains from asking why only Dean.
Whatever it is, it doesn't reflect reality in Itinere. They're both women
but Mary does not make eye contact with Carmen while she puts on her
clothes. The fit appears decent enough, Mary thinks, and Carmen looks more
like one of them which brings her to smile. Mary has to think very little
on the question. "I wouldn't trade it to be any where else." But the most
important thing to her will always be family. As for some of the other
stuff, she shrugs her head at an angle. "The town itself is... I think of
it like a move where there's things you will miss about home but then there
are the things that will make it worth it to stay."
Carmen can use all the friends she can get if she's going to make a life and a home here.
Carmen will tell her if she asks, but she'd rather not share too many of the unpleasant details from her life before Itinere. She probably should have asked if Mary minded if she changed there. Most of Carmen's modesty had fled after a few months of being a beer girl and walking around in a bikini most of the time. Carmen listens, nodding a little. "I know we're just getting to know each other here, but I trust you back home and it helps to know that you like it here," Carmen tells her honestly. She smiles at Mary's reassurances. "I was so homesick when I first moved to Kansas for work, but I did get used it and it did become a place worth staying." Because of Dean, but not just because of Dean. She thinks things might be similar here.
Mary and everybody else would agree that she can make herself at home in
the bunker.
It's not Mary's place to pry. It's no bother that Carmen changes in front
of her; Mary is used to it from her school days and the changing room. Eye
contact seems a little impolite until Carmen is dressed. No matter how many
times it comes up Mary still can only feel strange about there being other
versions of her, but she appreciates what Carmen is saying. "If you need to
get anything else off your mind anything, I am here to listen." It goes
without saying that it is difficult to adjust but when Mary smiles she
knows Carmen can get through it. She smiles a little more when Carmen tells
her about moving to Kansas because that's the attitude and knowledge that
will get her through this. "That's the kind thinking you need to hold on
to. Now that you're dressed, why don't we get breakfast."
