it's a little annoying, maybe. at any rate it's annoying enough for her to head to their bunk situation, hand permanently at her hip as she considers alternate options. some kind of trade situation maybe, she's not desperate enough for petty theft just yet. it's probably fortunate, then, that she walks in just in time to catch that scary little story from takoda. she snorts as she watches the children scurry away, squinting at him closely for a moment or two before she shrugs in lieu of a greeting. no need to question if that's really him. )
I don't think anyone ever proved that.
( no one probably needed to, but. still. it's the principle of the matter. )
