"That's okay, I'm not hungry." Though later a rat might be nice if she could find one. And if Rodger wouldn't take it away from her again. Really, she didn't understand why that man was incapable of allowing her to choose her own meals. All she wanted to do was eat the rat. It wasn't like she was intending on keeping it to make more. Though then she'd have more to eat and, no, she'd have to feed them and a snake wasn't the sort of thing to be trusted when it came to keeping things alive. But choking on her element was something that Darcie was more than capable of doing. But no, she wouldn't, not right now. Zaviar was right over there and she needed to say hello to him. Needed to. Air could leave her alone for a few more minutes until she managed to say hello and make sure that Madeleine was leaving and not going to do what she was. Madeleine couldn't be allowed near Zaviar because bad things would happen like they always did. It was just a bad idea.
"I should have been," Darcie corrected. And ah, ah, there was a voice in her head. Inside of her head that didn't sound like her or - oh, it was like that thing that sometimes talked to her at home. It was the snake. The snake was actually talking to her. She was definitely worthy of that. "And Zaviar bit me. Tore parts of me all to pieces." She sighed, pressing her palm to her forehead as she rocked back slightly. Scars all over the place from it, but thankfully she hardly remembered how it'd happened. Only that it had and that Zaviar had visited her and taught her a few things. "You couldn't understand, you're just an elemental and everyone knows those are nothings." Right? That was how Zaviar said it; non-weres and non-witches didn't really matter in the overall scheme of anything. "I can tell him you said hello."
