It was interesting to see one of the dark ones become... flustered? He supposed that was the best word for it. Yes, she may have been dark and if her ability to grand nightmares was anything to go by, she did have some level of 'bad', as Brighid put it, in her. But he was hoping he wasn't wrong in giving her a chance. Most people just needed one good chance.
He nodded as the woman spoke while Brighid watched her with large eyes. "Like... Karma," Brighid said suddenly and it hadn't even occurred to Cassander to equate it to that particular teaching. Cassander furrowed his eyebrows together but he smiled, "Kind of. And remember what Buddha says - All that we are is the result of what we have thought; what we think we become." Brighid put her hands together and bowed slightly though neither of them knew if that was the appropriate response. Cassander wasn't a Buddhist properly. To the woman, he explained softly, "Her mother is Korean. I don't really understand it much, but we explore Buddhism together." It was very clear that Brighid's mother wasn't present in any fashion.
He couldn't help a bit of a laugh at the attempt at a sitting curtsy. It was practically impossible but he appreciated the effort. "And a pleasure it is to meet you, Sloan. Welcome to the circus."
Brighid blurted quite suddenly, "It's my papa's birthday but we don't have a cake."
