[ There's a moment where she's quiet, still. Her own mental fog has cleared, but she doesn't instantly fill with venom the way she ordinarily might. It feels like being angry at an animal that's too old and broke down to be aware of its misbehavior.
But it's not just that. Like Julie has told others in the past, she believes them to be like a family. All of the Summoned. They'll always have more in common with each other than the natives, they'll always be the outsiders. And their own squabbles don't mean anything when it comes to external forces against them. Blood of the covenant and all.
She doesn't know the name he calls her. She's never even heard of it as a name. But she knows what it's like to be as out of it as Jack seems to be, convinced of seeing ghosts from the past. It happened to her more than she cares to remember while she was in the store. ]
No. Sorry. [ Her voice is gentle, and she resumes walking. There's a warmth in her chest -- a physical warmth, not emotional or metaphorical -- and it feels like it flows through her veins, down into her hands. ] We're gonna go to the Singularity. You can rest there. Everythin' is gonna be okay.
