"I think you have about a month or so more..and while I know some kids scream in terror when seeing Santa Claus at the mall, I don't think we need to worry about zombies or vampires come christmas time. Though holiday shoppers are just as bad-even worse is that you're not allowed to kill them."
Her expression cooled. "As for what I was talking about on the forum. Frankly speaking, I'm just tired of loosing people-side effect of growing up in a military family..creating ties easily. When my brother was killed in action, I inevitably lost my mother as well to alcohol addiction. When I became enlisted, I grew close to and engaged to a man on my team-he was killed too. And of course you know about my team at Tsung's tournament."
She took a bite. "It's bad enough, loosing a fellow soldier. When I found Jane, a civilian, even if she was dead, it wasn't right to just leave her. I didn't even fully realize she had died until she told me on the forum."
She looked around a moment. "I know you're going to ask, but I have to ask you something first: are you familiar with acupuncture, or chi?"
