'Is that the worst that would happen?' Eloise couldn't quite tell what was believable in this new world, especially in Torchline. She'd heard stories of gods smiting those who appeared at their shrines just for fun, of abandoned being sent off in flames. Then again maybe it was just something the accepted told themselves to feel better about their lack lustre lives.
That sounded like a no. "Close as we are, I don't know if Raza would tell me if she had any. Then again, it wouldn't do her any good, so.." Eloise thoughts would already have betrayed her this next question, and she supposed that once she thought something around Jack, she might as well just come out and say it. "Who else knows." Her voice didn't need to rise at the end to indicate it was a question. There was nothing else she could be referring to. Who else knows what you are? What you can do?
"Normally intimidation is all I need. Why bring real steel when you can make someone think their skin is melting off." Pausing before heading towards her bunk, Eloise raised a brow unable to tell if Jack's offer was meant to be helpful or not. "What, as..bait?" With no muscle to speak of really and no experience with weapons, she wasn't sure how a bit of job-shadowing was going to improve her situation.
