"It's okay. Don't worry." The same warmth is present in her smile. Reassurances might not ease the mind of a newcomer all that much but it doesn't stop her trying. All things considered, traversing the islands isn't the worst fate in the world. It's true there have been potential threats, the implication that harm could possibly come, but she isn't convinced the powers that be really want to see them hurt. Aside from the emotional and mental threads that are continually pulled.
It's tempting to see if she might be able to leave, or if the pair of them would be able to leave together. It's doubtful it would be so simple. "I know this is going to sound bizarre but... the areas we travel to, they tend to have... tasks." As 'task' sounds slightly better than 'test'. "Lessons, if you like. Something to facilitate our growth." As explanations go, she realises it doesn't offer much. Adjusting to the islands is a task in itself and so she doesn't want to overwhelm him with immediate tales of what has been thrown at the Travelers thus far.
"You might find yourself in places you didn't expect or not exactly knowing the how of it... But there are a lot of lovely people in the same situation and they're very helpful to one another." She gives a little nod. If nothing else, he has Connor and herself around. Wonderful as her new friends are, the presence of her fellow androids is settling.
