[ Truth of the matter is, they were "friends" when she'd left, so it's not like she was lying, but by the time she returned they were something else.
But Hana doesn't suspect anything of Mercy yet; the doctor is simply checking on her like she's often inclined to do. So Hana merely hoists herself up and swings her legs over to sit... relatively more properly on the couch, which is to say she's sitting with her legs crossed beneath her. Her answer is honest and enthusiastic, two things that can typically be used to describe a lot of things Hana says: ]
It was awesome! I got to see so much. It was only supposed to be a trip to the moon, but-- yeah. [ She chuckles. ] Sorry about disappearing for a couple of days.
[ That much is a relief. If their youngest hero was going to run off into space, the least it could be was fun. She nods with some approval as Hana sits up slightly more formerly. It makes it easier to talk to the young woman like this rather than flopped over on the couch. ]
I don't suppose you have any pictures on hand from your adventure? [ Then after a thoughtful pause she adds, ] Have you had your post-mission medical exam?
[ She took so many she had to start deleting apps off of her phone to make room. She even deleted games. And it was a miracle that Pidge and Hunk had figured out how to interface their Earth tech with the Altean power sources at their disposal so that Hana could keep her damn phone charged while in outer space.
But by Angela's prompting, Hana swipes away at her phone once more, pulling up the pictures she'd taken from her few days out in space, scrolling through them to find the start of them. There's a good mix of content in there, from skies to pictures around the ship and scenery and-- selfies with her "friend."
Obviously Hana's going to choose a picture of a planet to start off with. ]
Ta-dah! Here's a moon we passed by. Well, one of them. This one planet had like three moons. Crazy, huh?
[ She smiles at Hana. Of course the young woman had her phone. Of course. It's not like Mercy herself goes far without some form of communication attached to her hip although for different reasons.
She waits patiently while Hana finds a place to start. Hopefully she'll find more when the slideshow really starts judging by how long it takes the other woman to find the one she wants. Time well-spent to see what's off-world. ]
[ Hana starts swiping through her pictures methodically, first showing pictures she managed to take from the ship and then pictures of what looks like an actual city, only instead of people there are-- shock and surprise-- aliens. Mostly humanoid in appearance with the exception of a few features but distinctly foreign. Stuff that NASA would probably murder Hana for but that she was told not to spread around. The existence of a vast neighborhood of other species out in space has always been something most people always knew to exist, but how much of it was actually there-- that wasn't something everyone was ready for. Not when Earth has got its own problems. That's how the Galaxy Garrison explained it to her when she returned from her little 'adventure,' in any case.
But she trusts Mercy enough to show her these pictures. Soon there's a shift in subject, going from an urban center to what looks like the shoreline of a beach, with brilliant orange pink skies, stars visible throughout, only instead of one moon there's three. And the ocean itself, too, was pink. One would guess why Hana would pick this as her first showcase of "cool shit in space." ]
See? You can see the three moons there. And look at the ocean! It's pink! Shiro took me there.
