@spcgrl asked: that’s a nasty bruise.
Alice pulls the neckline of her shirt back up on her shoulder. A little too fast. The bruise spreads from a black-and-purple center on her upper back to a green mottling... just where the tips of scarab’s legs fuse to her skin.
She hasn’t mentioned scarab’s whole deal to Y’aleda yet.
So, okay. So she can’t hold back from a fight even when she’s a stranger on a strange planet. So she wasn’t in armor, because she’s still way too close to Reach territory, way too terrified of being recognized. So what?
“Oh, yeah, you should see the other guy,” she says eventually, because hey, maybe that one lands well in space.
