anyone home?

Sparrow stood in shock, but no where near as animatedly as Hanako. She stood, maw gaping and eyes bulging in a way that truly did make her look like an overly-ornate carp. Hanako screeched back, much more convicting than Sparrow's 'you' had been. "How dare I, Helen? How dare I?" she guffawed back, using the wrong name for any amount of petty cut she could get.

Hanako grabbed a weapon and swung, rattling her own noggin in a way that would have been truly hilarious in any other context. It did help to break Sparrow from the shock, and her cheeks puffed out as she held back a laugh. She was still trying to be serious, after all.

Hana continued to yell- she was quite good at it and Sparrow began to imagine that maybe her tiny body was mostly lungs. "Me? Lies?" She feigned shock. "Why Helen, I never mentioned your name once, so I wonder how people correlated the acts back to you? Hmm?" She scoffed, one side of her upper lip peeling back as she did. "Maybe someone in your high-class pack looks down on you, because last time I checked, I was practically worshiping you for it! You were gonna be the Lust! How's all that order and power working for you if they look down on you anyways?"
