EVIE
there ain't no doubt in no ones mind
Evie isn't so self-conscious as to since, though she does shoot Sam an apologetic expression. "Sorry, that's not what I was trying to imply. You've always been squeamish, it's frankly hilarious." She may have very mixed feelings about the Ascended, but Sam is her twin brother. The status of his personhood and state of living is something she will defend, no matter their tumultuous relationship. The minimal tension - a wonder in itself - dissipates as he admits to bring afraid of ghosts. Evie grins at him shamelessly, glad to be proven right yet again. "All the better of a hiding spot for me you see." It's the safest answer, not wanting to reveal that she has never - and likely never will - meet Ludo or any of the other Heralds. Easier to be vague but honest. A trick to perfect lies that she learned from a young age.
As they wander down the path that emerges from the undergrowth, Sam gathers his sass back into another little burst, prompting an offended gasp from the elder twin. "You take that back! You're just sad you came second in the race, I'm sure The Voice will appreciate my wisdom from my vastly superior time in the world." A haughty sniff and tilt of her nose skyward helps to conceal her smile. Wherever they're heading, she finds she doesn't much care. It's a pleasant walk already.
that love's the finest thing around
