The people in Solvunn are fuckin' crazy. Their crazy is the reason for all of this, everythin' we just went through! That is not who I would be takin' my cues from, Kyle, or whatever your name is!
[ She doesn't dispute the story, though. It's not like it's a surprising belief to have. It's no weirder than any other creation tale. But something in her face, in her tone, says it's not his faith in the Singularity or in Solvunn's fairytales that's bothering her. It's not even just what he's accusing her of.
He lied to her. Lied about his name, let her think he was part of some regular old religious cult like the Amish or Mormons, not something clearly brutal and frightening. If he's running around, lying to people, how can she trust him to protect her life?
The panic is still rising in her throat. Kyle isn't saying anything she doesn't already know, but he is saying it more bluntly than she has ever allowed herself to consider. And if he's saying this now, to her, who else might he say it to? ]
Steven knows everyone's name. He's a bartender. That's just his thing. [ Which is something she has chosen to not ask about. That he knows things she doesn't. ] You wanna accuse me of shit that will get me killed just 'cause a bartender knows your fuckin' name? Don't you know what they did to Relena?
