"Uh, yeah." Cassie paused for a moment, then decided to take a risk. Liri knew her well enough, and had seen her in a fight. Surely the woman would't think worse of her if she knew the truth, and it wasn't as though this universe was made out of cotton candy and rainbows. She was by far the least worst person here, or so she hoped.
"I, uh, hunted slashers. They're kind of hard to explain -- do you guys have zombies here in this universe? I haven't run across anything close, but they're...people come back from the dead, trying to take revenge or kill other people who they think hurt them. It's...fucked, to say the least." Explaining herself released some tension from her chest, though it was still to be seen how Liri would react. "I, uh, kind of had a special connection to them. My friend Vlad and I, we..." She stopped, wishing she hadn't mentioned his name. It had been a long time since she'd talked about him; she thought about him every day, but talking about the dead was different.
"Anyway, yeah. So it helps me with that work here. Finding bad guys, putting the hurt on them and bringing them in. It's about all I've ever been good at."
She cleared her throat, ready to change the subject. "So, this Caine guy -- he's new through the portal too?"
