( his comment makes her go quiet as she silently questions why she hasn't had much issue with her designation. how it's come relatively easy for her to fit into the role. it's not like she doesn't have an issue with it, because she does. so many issues with the whole system. but nowhere near as much as she probably should.
especially considering, ) It hasn't been too bad for me. ( notwithstanding the end of her first month, where she'd been sent to the SLUT center and drugged, it's an honest answer. she doesn't need to look at him to know where his eyes travel to and she reacts all the same; her fingers skim over the mark starting just under her chin before skating across her clavicle and behind her neck to scratch nervously. ) I'm pretending it's like being grounded. Can't do this, can't buy that. ( something she doesn't expect him to understand. )
Only worse. Much, much worse thanks to the perversity of it all. But it helps I have a contract with someone I trust. Someone who doesn't expect anything along the lines the city makes a requirement. ( she can't help but to meet his eyes when she says it, searching to see if there's relief in her admittance ─ in case he was wondering if her contract had any sexual requirements. ) She has kids back home.
( with him picking a chair she moves to the sofa, taking the spot directly across from him. and no sooner does she sit, thinking they can be civil with one another does his tone turn sharp. two minutes. a new record!
and, of course, she can't help herself from returning some of the bite. ) And who's fault is... ( she raises a hand, ready to point a finger at him accusingly but instantly curls her fingers instead, clenching her hand into a fist and bites her tongue. though it's not clear to her it's self-directed, she isn't going to argue with him. not right now. )
Look. ( she sighs, folding her hands together in her lap in a sort of surrender. see? she can be mature! ) I came because a friend, who happens to be a witch─ ( and a werewolf and a vampire, stays with her for now. ) ─offered me something, months ago, that I think you could use. A ring. Not just any ring, though. It's a daylight ring. It'll allow you to go out in the sun without worrying about the ultimate sunburn. But it's if you want it. ( pressing her lips together she waits, watching as it sinks in before adding, ) Since you have to be there for the spell.
