“i understand.” she’s never had a way with children, can’t seem to find that warmer side of herself that children seem to enjoy so much- so she settles for honesty, brutal as it may be. delphine squats in front of the girl’s chair, offering a weak smile. “i feel the same. but we make the best of what we are given. this… this is what we have been given, and this is us making the best of it, okay? i promise it will only hurt a little, and it will make you so much better. do you trust me?”
"I only trust you because Cosima trusts you.” And like Delphine, Charlotte settles on honesty. If her smart big sister trusted this woman, then maybe she should too- then again it was so easy to trust the wrong people. She’s quiet for a moment, contemplating what kind of questions she needs to ask to see how trustworthy Delphine really is. “Are you sure that what you’re giving me is only the cure? What if they mixed something in there? I read that book they gave me, The Children of the Revival. I don’t want to be immortal.”
