"See, getting used to this shit doesn't actually sound great?" Abby does see the appeal, suddenly no longer just being freaked out and reactive to everything going on. Just being a ball of reaction and anger all the time. A thing she definitely isn't and definitely hasn't been since before she got to the Free Cities.

"Getting numb to all the bullshit? Just means you've been through it. I guess getting used to having magic is cool. But a bullshit military government, getting dragged naked out of a cave pool? Having your whole world pulled out from under you?" Feeling more alone than you have in months. Losing the one constant in your life after just getting it back. Suddenly having very real concerns about your life you still thought were years away from being a problem. Abby sipped her drink and just hugged herself a little. "Getting used to that just feels like losing."

"Once I can do some magic that'll be cool, at least. That I wouldn't mind being used to."
