Daniela scowled at the mention of her dead mother and looked away. The wounds of her loss were still fresh and Heisenberg's words acted as salt. "I guess I'm doing okayโฆI thought you, Donna and Moreau were all dead." Winters had defeated her mother, so she doubted that the other lords would have been able to stop him. And as far as she knew only Castle Dimitrescu withstood the explosion.
Most of the things she had in her backpack were family memorabilia. Their necklaces, Bela's diary, Cassandra's favorite dagger. Even two bottles of her mother's wine. The redhead sighed and took out a lighter, handing it to him. "I need the case and the lighter back. They belongโฆbelonged to mother. But you can keep the cigarettes." She said as she went to pick up her earlier dropped rabbit. "You hungry, uncle Heisenberg?" she asked as she sat down opposite him.
Karl couldn't light the cigarette fast enough. He took a drag and then exhaled, savoring the aroma of burnt tobacco. It wasn't much, but it was just a little normalcy. He closed his eyes, the peppery flavor familiar to him, almost as good as food...
"I needed that," he muttered. He wrapped the cigarettes in leaves, having no twine to bundle them together, and pocketed them before returning the lighter and the cigarette case. Karl eyed the dead rabbit, and just as he was about to ask where she'd found it his stomach growled.
