The girl clearly head high confidence, even admitting that she would have been overwhelmed in Ashten’s place, too. “Glad to know you’ve got this in the bag,” she murmured, her sarcasm hard to miss. Was it really smart to start making powerful enemies? Probably not, but Ashten always had a problem with keeping her mouth shut. She could feel Huck’s elbow jabbing her arm now.
“Hoping so,” she replied quickly, in an attempt to skirt right past her passive aggressiveness. “Waiting tends to make me antsy… a little fidgety. So giving me something to do– something productive– might help.”
