[Him having a family explains a lot, really. How he could empathize and strive for better despite the horrors their lives were. She doesn't doubt the sisters now -- it almost makes her want to laugh. Is that why he put up with so much of her bullshit? She doesn't laugh though, and she doesn't give in to the need to cry, scream, or break things out of furious frustration, either. She just sits there, breathing a little harder than normal from her rant, and watches him dismiss a girl that looks so much like her. Does that satisfy her? Make her want to knock his teeth so hard they pushed his eyes out? There's something, she thinks. All these years and no one's been able to make her understand the intricacies of all these feelings that overwhelmed her.
V, to her credit, looks disappointed at not having matched up to expectations -- never mind that she wasn't given a fair chance. She wasn't enough. She made a mistake. She wasn't any good at all... Deflated, she glances over to the other golem like she might get some encouragement from her. All she sees is Lotte struggling before forcing herself to look composed enough to be bored. All it does is make her look more like a wounded tiger desperate to leap from her cage at her master's throat, pacing back and forth, waiting. Trying not to give up and decide she'll never, ever, ever be free.]
If you clean up my crime scene super nicely, we can use that man's credit! As long as we can ditch the cards before anyone figures out he's dead and not just on vacation, it'll be no problem!
[The cheer in her voice is more strained than it should be. What the fuck. She used to be good at this.]
Not that I think he'll be missed much. She might be, by some of his poker buddies~
[Unnecessarily, she jerks her thumb at V, who gives her an odd little frown in return before drifting off to sit at Zan's feet instead of the more familiar set. That does actually make Q laugh a little bit.]
