"Well evil's... bad," Lyra said, cringing as she heard the stupid words come outta her mouth. Evil's bad? Serious? God, she didn't have a fucking clue what was going on anymore, one half-brother had been big news a few days ago but an evil one too? An evil one like... like evil enough to say, partake in kidnapping? Time stealing?
She could tumble wildly down this path if she didn't rein herself in, Lyra knew it. She also knew that if she let Rosario carry on, she was gonna lose the moment. As big as this was, if Lyra kept her mouth shut right now and let Rosario keep going, she was gonna lose her nerve. And Lyra's nerve– well, Lyra was all nerve. "Hey can we, uh..." she sat forward, leaning toward Rosario over the plastic arm of the chair so it dug into her middle. "Can we maybe evil-half-brother another time?" (Dear god, what was her life?!) "There's a thing I wanna tell ya."
