"Every god damned thing now's a test."

Jesus, where the fuck has she been? The way she acts it seems like she hasn't been with a group, which he'd normally think means she's a real badass, but mostly he's guessing she's just not an idiot, and is really goddamn lucky. She rattles too easy, runs her mouth too much.

"Fairyland don't need no one who can't pull their weight, Princess. I wanna know if talkin' to you instead of takin' your shit and gettin back on my way's a waste of time."

He can guess what she guesses he wants, and that's not worth dignifying with a threat. This is, really, a simple transaction, and he's soft hearted enough that it'd be a shame to kill her. (She's a kid. She's a dumb goddamn kid and she's lasted this long but if she's gonna keep lasting she needs more than luck.) Maybe, though, he just likes pissing her off, because he smiles again, sly and fake-friendly.

"So, you gonna give me a lift or not?"
