daughters made claw first
Flora’s description made her pause, fingers sifting over the shells she’d picked up, brow arching as the tone lowered. “Oh.” What sounded like an inconceivable mess of drama had been granted and given back twofold in…friendship, so apparently it had all shimmied out in the end. Her nose wrinkled, pondering further. “What would you have done if it hadn’t worked?”
As far as monsters and the musings of what could’ve been done, the Honeybee snorted, placing back a few half-broken shards into the damp sand once more. “I think some tried to distract themselves. But there were always those who wanted to be heroic. You know – go maul the monsters. Rescue people. Open the doors.” Blow up bars. Run away from fires. And maybe it was just difficult for Flora to understand, having never been through it – which Melita wouldn’t wish on her anyway. Maybe on her worst enemies (like Sah, he could go shit in his hat), but not the Doubletake.
She nodded at the implications of the Grounds though, her grin returning. “Mm. And I never felt…safe there.” If for whatever reason Torchline gave those indications, then so be it. Maybe the Honeybee was simply comfortable in a world where so many individuals did whatever they damn well pleased.
