Yeah.
[ Looking back at him, crossing her arms in front of her out of reflex. ]
Happened a few months before I came here. I was helping you train the new team when the representatives of this place approached me.

I think so.
[ Looking back up at him, she shrugs. ]
We get along pretty well. It's easy to talk to him and he accepts who and what I am.
[ Adding, ]
He's from our world. He was in Hell's Kitchen during New York.
