River's eyes widened. But not enough for fear. Just enough for rage.
I'm angry.... well, I imagine if it were fear, my eyes would be wider.
River cursed slightly under her breath, Mandarin words soft. She did not like her brother right now. Not an iota.
"I'd never let him kill for me," River said. She didn't say more than that, that she could do it herself. That the reasons weren't reasons Simon would like. "A suspect."
River closed her eyes and listened. She was dead still. She knew that Aeon Flux suspected her. She could hear it. Feel it. Her eyes opened slowly, and the look she gave her brother was not kind.
"I haven't hurt anyone," she growled. "But if you keep talking, that could change."
