That's all right. [ It is a soft, placating sentence. Like with her younger cousins. Like how people used to speak to her when they realized her parents wouldn't be picking her up for hours after everyone else left, when they heard her talk cavalierly about them drinking and fighting while she lay in bed. ] Don't worry about it.
[ She came from a big family, but the wrong branch. Unlike her cousins, she'd been an only child, born to two people who got married because the culture dictated it. There wasn't enough money, there was rarely supervision. Her parents loved her, but they weren't good parents. She was just lucky enough to live amongst others who were willing to pick up their slack.
He asks why and she blinks. Truth be told, she's working off instinct more than anything else right now. The Singularity's instincts to reunite with the missing Summoned. Human instincts as she sees one of her own in a state of need. Her own instincts to manipulate people by making herself indispensable, though she has no real game to play with Jack specifically. ]
'Cause I'm here. [ She settles on that as her response. ] Just 'cause I was gonna shoot you don't mean that I want you dead.
[ Her decision to overlook that oxymoron of the highest order is intentional. ]
