Pretend this is real for a while

VAI The huntress "Oh no, no. I met Devrum after stopping for water in the Farmlands. Later I visited him in his cell and we managed some interesting acrobatics through the bars. No deerskin to be seen." Vai grinned at Remi, knowing full well that the mere thought of her in any kind of a situation like that would probably make him cringe. If nothing else that only further cemented her role as a maternal figure in his life. As he manipulated the earth that covered the deer, her eyes widened and she accepted the blade from him with a murmur of distracted thanks. "You... Remi, I believe that you become more remarkable every time I see you," she told him with no small hint of pride, stepping forward once he was done to begin to skin their kill. She listened patiently as he explained about the Bone Bridge, concern causing her to frown as she realised he'd fallen down and into a snowbound cave, but obviously he must have gotten out of it alive for him to be telling her the story now. "I don't recall any bloodbag feeling that way," she murmured; she didn't know from experience but she had spoken to enough of them in her time. Pausing with her knife, the huntress leant back on her heels and rested her elbows upon her knees, thinking over what he had said. "Did you ask him? How it felt for him?" she asked, smiling softly. "Far be it from me to tell you what to do or what not to do, but I think that precisely the reason it felt so good is so that you would be willing to do it again... right?"
