[That's adorable and she's going to send him a few cartons of cigarettes later.
She tracks the motion of Ricki's hand when he does it, though without comment.]
It's different for everyone, lovey. Chromie 'as a way of making it sound very clear cut and black and white, but that's sort of 'ow she thinks. Chromie's a dragon - I expect you'll get to know 'er soon enough, she runs the library.
[And you are totally one of those inmates that's going to be practically living in the library at first. Iris knows and loves the type.]
Dunno if that's a dragon thing or just a Chromie thing, I 'aven't met any of the others. It's a bit more organic than that in real life - like, my last inmate was an enormous great metahuman that liked to get 'is bullying in first. 'Is idea of pushing my boundaries was to murder my girlfriend and send me 'er 'ead - don't get me wrong, I adored Victor, but I did 'ave to be very firm with 'im or I'd've got nowhere at all.
Girl I've got now, she's a Japanese goddess in another girl's body - my problem with 'er's been more along the lines of persuading 'er to step outside the boundaries of 'er own expectations. At bottom, only you know what your life's got in it that needs put right - your warden's there to 'ave your back while you put it into action.
