Just, hypothetically, say that someone was new.

[ Because, as hypothetically as she may be calling this situation it's kind of obvious to deduce that it isn't, actually, hypothetical. Unless she has been good at hiding her face around (which she hasn't done) then this is one very new face ]

New in any sense, warden or inmate, what's the average time before the job is technically 'done'.

[ Although Lydia did choose to be here, she did make the deal, she hasn't 100% prepared herself to settle, not yet. She knows what she has to be done and really she just wants to get on and do it, get her deal, get everyone saved and then she can go back to it all. In theory, really. On the other hand she's doing some decent information gathering to prepare herself for what she has to do ]

But not rushed, obviously. I doubt the Admiral would consider that a proper job done. [ She might not, anyway, and she wants her deal, so she's doing it properly ]

Hypothetical aside, I'm here to stay. And if anyone was actually paying attention I have a job to do, one that I'm going to do and nothing will stop me from doing it. [ For tricky inmates be warned? She's determined, even if things go a little pear shaped ]

So. How long until I can start?

I agree. We should be here for the benefit of the inmates. If we cannot make that a priority, we do not have much business here.

We may end up doing more harm than good.

[intelligently]

[ Aha okay, Lydia's definitely not there for the benefit of the inmates, more her deal, but that view might change the longer she is there? At least she's wanting to help and try and do something now that she is there, though. That's a plus, right? ]

So you came here just for them? The inmates.

[breathoflight]

Truthfully, no. I wish that were the case.

My kingdom is recovering from a war and a dark curse. This is a means to help my people.

[intelligently]

Your kingdom? [ That's... more than she expected ]

I'm not here for a Kingdom but hopefully to stop people dying.

Yes, I am Snow White, Queen of Tabor. [She smiles a little.] But if it's all the same to you, Snow is just fine.

That is a noble cause. I pray that you are successful.

[intelligently]

Snow's great. [ Because Queen sounds just a little odd ] I'm Lydia.

Yeah, you too.
