"I haven't worried about myself in a long time." She wondered if she wanted to tell him about how she was supposed to be leading a war, how she was supposed to be saving her world. King Claus, Boa's father, was technically dead. She was an absurd sort of queen, and she was supposed to be saving her people, not watching her friends get hurt.
His words caught her off-guard and she blinked. "I'm just a girl, to my knowledge." She bit her lip before letting Boa speak. "Having magical talent and sharing a body with another soul makes Candy different, but not in the way I suspect you're referring to. There is no concept of 'mutant' in the Abarat. Things simply are."
When Candy took control again, she chopped the onions, hoping Remy wouldn't look at her too strangely.
