Kara nodded thoughtfully as Armis spoke, easily catching the last few mumbled words as well. She hadn’t really thought of it like that, that their captors didn’t really seem to know what to do or expect either. She’d only heard someone had been looking for people like her, and then her attempts at trying to disappear hadn’t quite succeeded. She’d never really thought beyond ‘not getting caught’.

“People are scared of us wherever we are,” she said matter-of-factly. At least, that had always been her experience. Either people hadn’t seen what she was capable of, or they were afraid of her. Even those she would call her friends. 

“Everyone is scared of things that can hurt them, it makes sense to be scared.” She’d never been embarrassed of fear, as it was a useful emotion. Didn’t mean you had to hide or run away, of course, but without fear how could you be careful?
