Lark did not appear to be as confident in Allen’s capabilities as his father had been, but that was alright. It was difficult when changes like this happened, and Calypsei knew that better than anyone. She was about to speak about the matter but Lark added a comment to change the topic. She could have sworn that she saw a smile on his face, if only for a second. She felt her a grin on her own face, knowing he wasn’t completely mad and irritable. He agreed to the spar which made the ocean girl simply nod. She placed a stoical expression on her face as she gently sat down across from him, her tail curling around her front paws.
His next question haunted her, bringing inner demons to her eyes as she looked at her paws. Could she actually kill someone? She felt her heart beat faster and tightness in her chest. “I’ve done it before.” She murmured, unsure if he could even hear her. Part of her hoped that he couldn’t because she was sure he would never look at her the same, and he might not even believe her. It was true, because when Caecia had died and she had tried to escape, she had killed Aquarius. She had almost died herself, had it not been for her ability to swim against more intense currents than her captors.
She preferred not to think about it, but it was difficult as she tensed up, her eyes staying at her navy blue paws.
