[she sagged, a little defeated, and just laughed. It wasn't a very long laugh, more like a throaty chuckle that sort of died in her throat. Her eyes looked towards Eve quietly for a moment while the girl spoke, staring out of the corners.]
The deer is telling the wolf to stop worrying so much if it has to feed on it. You... have no idea how amusing the wolf finds that right now. But, at this point, I 'get' that you don't think of these things like most people.
And yes. You'll know if it's the 'other me.' Let me ask you this, Eve. [She turned towards her, wiping a sleeve across her face and drying the tears that had formed with a sniff.] Will you forgive the wolf if it hunts you one day, and you can't get away? Will you be able to look it in the eyes the next day, after this place spits you back out of death?
I'll... try, but I want to know this from you. You talk a good talk, but what happens if it's you I grab one day and I win?
[She noticed her tail then, lightly tapping the back of Eve's calf. With an annoyed grunt, she reached down and pried it off, giving it a smack.]
