[While LB did have many masks throughout her career, she was at least typically an honest person outside of her disguises. While she still wasn't especially fond of her work, though, she'd still much, much rather talk about that than the past that preceded that portion of her life.]

Oh, heheh... that's kind of you to say. [She thinks, at least. Probably in a normal circumstance, it would be the nice thing to say that one would hope that another wasn't dead.] But in all honesty? I've got no issue at all spending the rest of my time here, if I did indeed die.

[In other words, LB was actually sort of relieved to be dead if that's what decided that she had to stay here instead of have to return back to her world - she had nothing to return to, after all.

Though she's curious about the individual Kim mentions, she has no way of knowing that it was himself he was speaking of. Still, LB takes a warm approach with her response - if it was someone Kim cared enough to mention, that was a good thing, was it not?]

I'm glad to hear that your acquaintance is all right, though! Heehee! If they still had ties to their home world, I'd imagine that would be quite the relief indeed.
