[Being holed up in a safehouse as she is, Ana is a little short on stimulating conversation. As much as she might want to resist engaging in this strange magical cellphone, she doesn't hold out for too long. After all, from what she can tell, these people have no idea who she is.
What she posts comes in two pieces, the first a series of lines in Arabic text followed by a helpful translation in English. The second piece is commentary.]
ﺃﺩﻣﻨﺖ ﺍﺣﺰﺍﻧﻲ
ﻓﺼﺮﺕ ﺍﺧﺎﻑ ﺍﻥ ﻻ ﺍﺣﺰﻧﺎ
ﻭﻃﻌﻨﺖ ﺁﻻﻓﺎ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺮﺍﺕ
ﺣﺘﻰ ﺻﺎﺭ ﻳﻮﺟﻌﻨﻲ ﺑﺎﻥ ﻻ ﺍﻃﻌﻨﺎ
ﻭﻟﻌﻨﺖ ﻓﻲ ﻛﻞ ﺍﻟﻠﻐﺎﺕ
ﺣﺘﻰ ﺻﺎﺭ ﻳﻘﻠﻘﻨﻲ ﺑﺎﻥ ﻻ ﺍﻟﻌﻨﺎ
ﻭﻟﻘﺪ ﺗﺸﺎﺑﻬﺖ ﻛﻞ ﺍﻟﺒﻼﺩ
ﻓﻼ ﺍﺭﻯ ﻧﻔﺴﻲ ﻫﻨﺎﻙ، ﻭﻻ ﺍﺭﻯ ﻧﻔﺴﻲ ﻫﻨﺎ
I was addicted to my sorrows,
Until I became scared of not being sorrowful.
And I was stabbed thousands of times,
Until it felt painful not to be stabbed.
And I was cursed in all the languages,
Until I became nervous of not being cursed.
And all the countries seemed the same,
in that I neither see myself there, nor do I see myself here.
I came across this while reading, so I thought I might share it. No particular reason, except than I found it to be moving. I wouldn't mind hearing your opinions.

[She's going to just keep humoring him at this rate.]
Hmm. Who knows? If I have any friends around, they haven't found me yet. Perhaps that will change in the future.
no subject
[By this point McCree has realized he's just being humored, but...Eh. No harm, no foul.]
Well on account of you being so mysterious you probably won't find any anytime soon. Though I'm sure someone'll come crawling outta the woodwork when you least expect it.
no subject
Or are you still sore about the poetry? I've never known someone to find art so nefarious.
no subject
[At least if you're paranoid.]
It's a waste of time that people with more money and sense think is more important than anything else, like honest work.

[yes he is being Stubborn]

[His stubbornness deserves a little sass.]
no subject
[that's what you get for being sassy]

You can call me Shrike.
[She's already told one person that name, she might as well stick with it...]
no subject
Is this some sort of fancy callsign?
no subject
I guess you could say that.
no subject
Any reason for the bird? You some sort of pilot or have you got some sorta fancy flight powers?
no subject
Is liking them a good enough reason?
no subject
[he can give non-answers, too]

no subject
And going by your real name is just impossible, then?

You know my name, I know your callsign, I'd think we've surpassed being strangers.
no subject
What are we now, Mr. McCree?
no subject
Maybe acquaintances.

no subject
But if you're fine with that, so am I.
no subject
I'll keep in mind not to assault you with fancy words in the future.
