She was fine, actually. Surprisingly fine. The amusing distraction of the groper-that-was-probably-Eris had lightened her anxiety exponentially, because someone was acting like an idiot and it wasn't her. Thankfully. She was fine.
That was the operative word.
There was a moment where everything in her froze. It wasn't quite a panic, but Ninkasi's entire self shut down for a fraction of a second to analyze and determine how she felt about that particular word that had just been used and actually cleared up a whole lot of confusion as far as what to say the next time she felt cornered by Ereshkigal. At least, once she decided how she felt about it. Was it okay?
A second later, deciding she was perfectly comfortable with it and able to start breathing again, Ninkasi smiled. "Hello." She wasn't sure what else to say. It was taking a moment for her heartbeat to regulate again. She'd be fine again in another moment.
