" it leaves you to wonder, if some can see how strange it is, " an agreeable tone, an almost humored breath leaving her, " for laughter to feel like a mockery, " said quietly, nearly just to herself . she can feel the other's eyes flicker in her direction as she speaks, a soft nod given to both accusations, " a little of both .

" arms reaching behind herself, gloved hands clasped together, allowing their presence to settle beside one another . " company that brings warmth instead of judgement, is rare, in these days . you have found me at my most honest, mahsa tully, consider yourself warned, " her own conspiratorial smirk now gracing her features .
