[She says nothing about Zenobia's first comment. Either she doesn't care, or she doesn't think it's worth discussing.] My stigma. [That's all she says for a moment, but then she remembers those words have little meaning in this place and continues.] They give me my powers as a Pandora.
[She doesn't respond in words. She just walks over to the vanity in her room, picks up the sturdy-looking wooden chair sitting in front of it, and snaps it in half as though it were a mere twig.] This is just one of the things I have been given the power to do.
...I suppose I should cover up. [Not out of shame, though-she's not worth enough to deserve it. But Louis... He wouldn't like others to see her body. She was his, after all. She rematerializes her clothes without another word.]
In a manner of speaking. I've yet to see combat against the Nova, but I have fought against other Pandora, and I am the top ranked combatant in my year.
[For the first time in the conversation, some emotion registers on her face. She looks faintly surprised for a moment; then, her expression goes blank again.]
["Lucky." That word makes her stiffen noticeably. Though time has passed, she can still remember her last conversation with him, practically hear his words in her ears, almost feel his hands locked around her wrists.]
[("Are you gonna say I should feel lucky I'm with you? Because you're a high and mighty Pandora? Give me a break!")]
