Laura & Dorian
Laura just smirked a little and looked down at her hands in her lap. She didn't feel particularly fierce in any way, and despite it being nearly a decade now, she didn't feel any better or more knowledge about being a mother now than she had when Caitlyn was born. The word 'mother' now sat with her in a different way and she wasn't sure how to feel about it.
Shaking it off, she looked back up to Dorian with a half-smile. "If we were anywhere else, I'd jump at the opportunity. But here... I think we need every type of defense we can manage. Even if it is destructive."
