Lavender startled at the kid’s outburst. She was really, [i]really[/i] starting to feel bad about being honest now.

The woman just watched him put the plate on the table before gently placing her hands on his shoulders. She seemed to pause in order to find the right words to say before she spoke. Just in case, she barely moved her fox mask off of her face to look the boy in the eye.[color=lightblue]”Look, kid…my family- they weren’t really good people. My uh, ancestors specifically. Let’s just say they- [i]we[/i] deserved it. Karma, y’know?”[/color] She chuckled sadly. The orphanage kids don’t deserve their eye being hacked out though. Only she did. Her ‘siblings’ weren’t the ones that went poking around an ancient temple to steal stuff anyway. Lavender drew back and quickly moved her mask to fully cover her face again before she removed her hands from his shoulders. She picked up the glass of wine, inspecting the liquid for any visible poison before lifting her fox mask a tad bit and taking a sip a little gingerly.
