"Yeah..." was her distracted acknowledgment of Conlan's earnest common sense. She finally cracked her first smile when she was referred to as 'Ride-or-Die' and at the phrase 'cut any fools' coming out of Conlan's mouth. She kissed him back, longer than she'd realized she needed, then tucked her head under his slender jaw to enjoy a few more minutes of their embrace before it was time to stand up and act.
"Yes." Yes, she did. "I feel pretty superfluous at the moment, though." The queen's dresser. Who the fuck needed that person around at a time like this? She straightened her back and lifted her head from Sentient's shoulder, then. "I'm an X-Woman." It was a reminder to herself, mostly. "C'mon," she urged as her knife appeared and she cut loose the excess hair she'd grown as a comfort blanket. "Just leave it," Qiana said as an afterthought, then pulled Booger to his feet.
