> Actually, come to think of it, was fear of loads of surface dwellers ever any part of our reluctance to head topside before? Or has it always been the openness?

>It's never really been fear so much as lack of desire or need to go there. You suppose you could see how others would interpret it that way. Then again, it's not like you're really told anyone that you were born topside and grew up there.

>You know her as a crazy hell raven who once intended to kill everyone. Well...maybe accidentally kill everyone. However, that was a few years ago, and she seems to have calmed down since them and made some kind of turn around. Yamame and she seem to have become friends over the past couple years; you really have no idea how that happened. She's also romantically involved with the bridge princess, which struck you as a pretty dumb thing to do given her well known to connection to one of the devas, but it seems to have worked out as both they and the Ancient City are still intact. She passes through the tunnels a lot, often with the aforementioned people in tow, and you are more than wise enough to not try anything with her.
