Maria looked at the girl confused for a moment or so, studying Leela's face so sincere and not much in defiance or anger towards the electric chick anymore, but...even if she couldn't deny the sort of connection she felt when looking into the eyes of the girl...feeling a sharp tinge of pain in her obsidian heart....she merely dismissed such showings of sympathy and sincerity towards her...as just a ruse. "What....what the hell do you take me for, huh?" She snapped at Leela, her eyes gleaming bright blue as she felt the electrical tinges in her body intensify. "I love being around these kind of people. I'm accepted by them, not cast out, ostracized and called a fucking monster like many of us have been, and even if I am a monster in [i]their[/i] eyes, who gives a fuck? I love being what they fear, I love being what they hate...because what they hate also loves me... So don't think your fucking sympathy act's gonna sway me, bitch. You wouldn't be the last person I killed....." Her voice had trailed off...losing that intensity and that grit she was most famous for, her vicious growls...only dying into soft sighs of melancholy.... Damn was this girl ever prying into her head... [i]I'm a monster...and I'm fucking proud of it....proud of it....[/i]
