"[b][color=666fff]How I ended up like this?[/color][/b]" Aly looked up towards the sky, lost in thought for a moment. "[b][color=666fff]I... Was always like this.[/color][/b]" She held up her hand, looking at the tattoo-like markings that snaked and converged along her arms and discolored her right hand's skin. A lot of different memories briefly flashed in Alyona's mind. She had to look away, wiping her eyes for a moment. 

She took another sip of her terrible drink, coming back to reality with the sting of its taste. "[b][color=666fff]It's like how you have that up there, I'm sure.[/color][/b]" She gestured to Jeremy's head. "[b][color=666fff]The gods, playing with us like toys.[/color][/b]" She gave him a sly glance, realizing her own assumption. "[color=666fff][b]Unless you're wearing that for fun...?[/b][/color]"

Since attacking the poor kid was off of the table (he could easily describe her to the police by now, and he clearly had enough problems on his own as is) she decided to instead settle on needling him with a teasing question. He was probably used to it by now, anyway, if that hat really was part of a "gift."

She needed to change the subject anyway. Alyona was not expecting to be taken off guard by such a simple question. '[color=666fff]How I ended up like this...[/color]' It wouldn't have hit her as hard if it wasn't something she had asked herself countless times. Maybe some day she'd have an answer.
