"I've never met a non-winged creature, but I suppose it's probably really common among these places. Does no one naturally have wings here?"

Pic looked at Sol, and shrugged. “We see a lot of strange things here. Winged people doesn’t seem too far out of the ordinary.”

"WOAH! Calm down!" DG Pic yelled. Aventine fell over backwards (her neck had been bandaged by DG Ash while everyone had waited for Jar Man to wake up).

"STOP MAKING ME DO THIS-" his eyes are wild. "NONONONO" then he falls back over, and gets up like nothing happened. "oh, hi"

Jar man cocks his head.

"Eh..." she let out a small exhale and pulled the chain out from her shirt. The chain and pendant were both pure zinc. "It was from one of my Terris stewards, the night I ran away. He gave me a blade to take off shavings so I could burn it as I needed. He said... if I used enough, a choice would be presented. But I left before he had the chance to tell me what the choice was."

"A lot of strange things? Why?"

She looked down at the charm. It was large for a necklace, and it had no clear shape. It had once been a perfect sphere, but chunks had been removed to create an unusual shape. All the edges were perfectly straight, and each surface was flat.

"From what little he said, he had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get anywhere close to obtaining it... I just know that it cost him at least his life."

Her face went slack. A man died for this, and that's all you have to say? 

She turned to DG Pic. "I'm going to bed."

DG Pic waved his hand, as though saying "Be my guest."

His eyes suddenly widen. "He died... for that... for you... oh god i didnt kill him but still im sorry."

I know, but she's sensitive, depressed, and traumatized. Her reaction was diluted - I almost had her yell, but that's not how she is right now. She watched someone she trusts kill a childhood acquaintance and is remembering the death of one of the few people she cared for before running away. She's really grieving and she wouldn't have taken it well any way it happened.

She stopped. "You know something?"

He looks up. "I can get the knowledge you seek. and no more unneccesary blood will fall on my hands."

she meant it rhetorically- like "you know what? *continued monologue*" she just paused to let him acknowledge

Anyways

"I don't know why I trust you," Aventine admitted. "I figure, if I met you a few weeks ago, when I first ran away, you would have repelled me. Best I can guess I wouldn't want to be around another drug addict again - ever.

"But for some reason, you don't make me feel like my, for lack of a better word, father, ever did. I feel safe talking with you. I've vented to you so much, I feel like you know more about how I think than he ever did.

"Not only that, but you've saved my life - on multiple occasions. You don't treat me like scum for being 'born wrong', and you don't treat me worse than a skaa, like he did, and I don't understand why. None of this makes sense to me."

"And yet I've seen you kill other people - brutally. The goat... demon... things... Amaryllis, and the stories you've told of what you've done to people in the past... I don't get why you're nice to me, of all people."

"Why not?" he grins. "Some people are worth talking to"

Aventine shook her head, her hand still fiddling with the necklace. "And what makes me worth talking to?" she asked quietly.

"because you have the spark"
