[The only sense of true "responsibility" that Callisto feels is her imagined responsibility to avenge her family by destroying Xena - which is, naturally, not a goal that she can work on here in anything but the most tangential of ways. So while she helps ADI out of the expectation that they'll hold up their end of the bargain and return her home as soon as they're able, she does so without any real investment in this world, which means that the persistent, niggling drive to do more, accomplish more, take more on is driving her absolutely bonkers, given that everything she really wants to do, accomplish, and take on is currently completely inaccessible to her.

All this is to say is that she's been like a tiger in a cage during this entire mission trip, stalking up and down the length of the beach, muttering to herself and continually running a harried hand through her hair. She barely looks up when Beau announces her intention to take a rest. She does, however, look up at the scream, and when she sees the collapsed dune, she immediately hustles over.]


Beau!

[Her tone definitely sounds more like anger than concern.]
