𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑪𝑨𝑼𝑮𝑯𝑻 𝑹𝑼𝑩𝒀 𝑶𝑭𝑭 𝑮𝑼𝑨𝑹𝑫. Chloe seemed more comfortable around her than most anyone else, but she had assumed it was because the woman had gotten used to her demeanor. What was there to understand? For a moment too long, Ruby simply looks at Chloe, examining her soft features for signs of insincere flattery and find none.

“I suppose you think I’ve a heart buried under all this ice?” she asked, not entirely unkindly. Ruby had met plenty of people like that, who refused to see the truth of the world and preferred their own rose-tinted idea of the inherent goodness in everyone. A shame it did not exit in her. “Do not concern yourself with it overmuch. I am not a sentimental creature, my dear, and need no such comfort.”

It was possible she was misunderstanding what Ruby meant. But..

"If you didn't have a heart, then you wouldn't love your daughter."

She shrugged, then, and picked up her cane. "I just think it's silly that some people act as if you are a horrible, terrible monster, when none of them have ever seen what a monster truly is like. That's all."

Part of her wondered if she was being too honest with her thoughts. Too blunt. Then again, Niamh had told her she needed to work on being more honest about her thoughts and feelings...

"Is there any particular tea you would like?" she asked after a moment, changing the subject. "I'll go down and get it."
