...what had just happened? Eloisa was almost certain that the girl's eyes, such an ordinary and dull blue, had gone all distant and unfocused, and then they suddenly weren't. What's more, they were all teary. She wasn't even trying to be scary here, she was being friendly-ish! People these days made no sense to her at all. "Kristen and Mitzi, those are nice names." Who named a dog Mitzi? Dogs were named Fluffy or Cuddles or Barky. In God's name she couldn't believe that she didn't break out laughing. Took all that was in her to keep that laugh tucked away inside for later when Valya might think it was funny too. Currently she was amused at the irritation building in those blue eyes. She loved that. It was one of her favorite drugs; anger and sometimes fear inspired in others by nothing more than her presence. "I'm no scared." And she deliberately reached out too fast. Let the thing bite her, it'd make all of this better in every single way.
