Dime was still offering up hands where she could she aided in kitchens today to cook for those who barely knew how or could not. She could be seen up and down the halls with a schedule and a cart of extra donated ingredients it was honestly not good food to say the least canned this and canned that. It was rare they’d get fresh and wholesome ingredients. She wasn’t used to that. But she knew food was good to the hungry and many old and disabled were in need.

Adelaide would come walking into the place with a box of fresh produce. A donation that Shiloh insisted she make. That girl had a heart of gold... Adelaide would look around for a moment before spotting a woman in rather risque attire.
"Hey, where ya want these?"

Dime looked at the person getting her attention and looked at what she carried. Her eyes lit up and it took a moment to process what was going on before dime would stumble on words.
“Oh, down here.” Dime motioned to her dual tier cart with ingredients. The bottom was nearly empty aside from some baking utensils. And knives. She was aware she hadn’t seen the woman before but it was maybe someone she missed and wasn’t going to rule that out. “Where did these come from? I was told we already got the throw away stuff from the other stores.”
Dime was wearing some risqué clothes. Thrift donations came occasionally but it was stuff no one wanted obviously. Dime picked things like tube and halter tops with shorts or distressed hip huggers. Usually she wasn’t the first to pick and frankly she felt like a prostitute compared to her old clothes but she also felt strangely comfortable with them.

"I bought them."
She would say with a shrug as she put them where she was told.
"My gir- my friend was really persuasive in her asking me to help out. My family has plenty of money so it's not a super big deal."
She shrugged.

“That’s incredibly brave... and thoughtful. After getting the backlash we did when the apartments opened I was worried we’d be left on our own. Across the street there that restaurant still has power to it which we supply most of the donated and stored food and clothes. A few other volunteers and I try to get everyone what they need, you can take what you wish to give there and we’d be happy to receive it. My name is Dime Price, former Blood Territory soldier of the old world.”

Adelaide would shake Dime's hand.
"Blood Territory? No offense, but that sounds like the last place I would ever want to live, hell I'm sure my dad would have a coniption fit."
She would say with a chuckle.
"Adelaide. Adelaide Sudeki."

She jerked her hand from Adelaide’s and realized what she did without thinking. “Oh... forgive me. Y-your name took me by surprise. Mind me asking which Sudeki are you related to, they were a big and powerful family in the old world. Some I had served under.”

Adelaide was caught off guard with Dime suddenly yanking her yard out oaf Adelaide's... just slowly lowered her hand.
"Uh. Ok... my dad is Raikotsu Sudeki. He was the one speaking at the grand opening ceremony."
She would say with a shrug.
"So, did I ring any bells?"

“Fate has a funny way of teasing us then.” She brushed some hair from her face. “My King was the former Raikotsu Sudeki and his son is named Drake... I suppose that makes you in a way similarly and opposing to his existence. Suppose my shock was unnecessary then for I’ve accepted your father as not my king and I can relax. I’m incredibly sorry.” She sighed in relief.

Adelaide stopped and stared at Dime.
"Uhm, excuse me??? What did you just say?!"
This was news to Adelaide, neither her dad nor Xapham had discussed this around or too her! She had just believed these people were from some other world, sure, but... an identical world?!

“To my understanding, this is some alternate world. These buildings were ruins in some form or manner almost exactly like what we once had before they wars. The use of electric power is in full swing here where in ours it was rendered useless due to the volume of Qi power that over took it.” All the signs point to the past beyond what she knew of. “Raikotsu, My King, The Crimson King, and Blood Dragon, sacrificed himself and prevented me from sacrificing mine to make sure the last of us could live.”

Adelaide was not taking this information well as Dime would be able to notice the panic on her face.
"I-I that can't..."
She didn't know what to say as a flood of thoughts and emotions swelled up inside her threatening to burst!
"I gotta go!"
She would say running out the door!

“W-wait, did I say something?” Dime reached out but didn’t grab the girl. “Hold on! If I upset you... I hadn’t.” She stammered to find words and they wouldn’t just come. But she went after her just a few feet if the girl kept going Dime wouldn’t pursue.

Dime would find Adelaide just outside the door and away a little. She was bent over and dry heaving. It was obvious that she would throw up, but thankfully nothing was in her system.
"Sorry, I just..."
Why was she freaking out? What made this such a big deal? She asked her self, even though she knew the answer. She just didn't want to acknowledge it...
"I felt like I couldn't breathe for a minute... I'll be alright..."
The truth was it was easy to not care about them when they were just some rando's from no where... but hear that they were the same as the people in this world... just different versions... It brought a whole new sense of real into the equation that no one wanted to look at.

Dime took a deep breath and crouched next to the girl placing a hand on her shoulder. “When I saw this worlds Raikotsu I was still grieving over the fresh wound that was in my heart over my King. I was almost hopeful and just as that surfaced I was ashamed. I could have saved him and... he asked me not to. I vowed never to let myself sacrifice my body for anyone else. His blood which was a gift to me, is not your’s or your father’s or even his son’s. They are not the same.”
Dime wondered if that was assuring to Adelaide at all. Dime took a lot of long nights to convince herself of this fact.
