[It's both comforting and jarring to have someone agree with her. To hear that someone gets it. Because she didn't deserve her lot in life, and neither - really - did Harrow. Perhaps especially Harrow. Both pawns in a long game that began thousands of years before they'd ever come into existence, and to have that weight pressed down into their bones-- it fucking sucks. It makes something go quiet and cold inside her, all of a sudden. Because it's happening here too, isn't it? All of the Summoned, being dragged into a complex and infernal structure that seems doomed to repeat itself endlessly, and she thinks - quick and hard, like the striking of a flame from flint - that she wants very little to do with it.
But aside from a slight tension in the angle of her jaw, in the strong set of her shoulders, she's quick to let the thought slide. Fuck it. There are other things to be getting on with.]
Here's hoping this one's better than the last, then.
[She says, perhaps a touch cryptically, but if there had been more to add its lost the moment her eyes fall on the...baby goats, he'd said? The scent of them is a strange assault on her nostrils, but watching them jump and caper about, headbutting each other and the like-- she's quick to let out a hard, bright laugh.]
Oh my fucking god, they are so cute.
[Don't tell anyone she said that. It might ruin her street cred.]
