BEATRIX
Beatrix smirked, shaking her head. “I’ll give you that. I am the one who approached first.” She rolled her eyes, clearly amused that the other woman had turned her words on her. Perhaps Hester had a point—that not everyone had to listen all the time. Beatrix was a force of nature, she believed what she had to say was important enough for everyone in the nearby vicinity to listen—and expected them to do just that.
It wasn’t really the way one made friends, but then, friends were something she didn’t ever remember having. She always had family… more than just her brother, technically, but not really. Jace was the only person who never left her willingly; who was always there, when everyone else was not. The things she’d do to keep him safe were… well, not really against her morals—considering her upbringing.
“Your father taught you?” She sounds genuinely surprised. Man, what is with the people she keeps meeting and the fact they had good fathers—good parents? What the hell was that? Unfair was what it was. “I…” She paused, considering.
Jace would probably say it was a waste of time. It’d serve no purpose other than being a hobby… and that was enough to make the woman nod. “I can do that.” Well, okay, Beatrix was going to struggle to listen to someone instruct her, but…
She’d try.
