Re: Dinah and Hill
"I'm not much interested in 'what's done', either," Hill said, but ruefully, almost with good humor. "Else I would be dancing attention with one of those kids," he reminded her, nodding towards the girls in fancy and improbably-large skirts, some of them still loitering by the wall. "But this suits me right now." And that's what mattered.
A small smile and dip of the chin, and a turn in the dance, before Hill answered, "I am currently stationed at Fort Shield, yes. Though before, I was from East and I am indeed interested in what's done in the West. You? Did you come to the West with your husband, or were you born here?" or did she come after he'd died, if he died in the War, but that wasn't a question that was every politely asked.
