"Even still." She was still talking in that precise way, conscious of letting a stutter slip through. It simply meant she was talking... slower than usual.
"It's a pretty ah.. it's a pretty useful nervous habit to have, I guess."
Maybe.
Well, it was better than stuttering, that was obvious.
"Yours, I mean."

"Not when I'm surrounded by things that aren't mine. I get twitchy. There's only so many ways I can attempt to re-order Byr in my pockets." she gave a light little chuckle at her own expense.
"I think he's getting dizzy."

Sasha smiled.
"What's... what's he like? Byr, is it?"

"Extremely quiet. What about you?" she had no clue about Sasha's weapon, personally.

Sasha pressed her fingers to the barrette she always wore.
"Nona? She.. ah, well, she used to be ... urgent, I guess. Really um. Charged. When I ah.. on a mission, I was in trouble. Bad trouble, like.. a horseman had me. In their hands. Their claws were.. anyway, since then, Nona's gotten kind of... quiet. Almost um."
Sasha pursed her lips.
"Contemplative, I guess. She ah.. she sings. It's nice, you know. When I don't have my flute."

"I'm so glad Byr does not sing. He's a growly gruff guy. Not at all pleasant for singing."
<... you're such a b***h, I hope you realize this.>
She does, but she doesn't care right now, "What about their claws though?" she pressed.

"Nona's claws?" Sasha hummed quietly to herself.
"Well.. she is an Alkonost, which.. Nona says is something like a siren, except not really. Part owl, I guess."
She grinned.
"Nona wants me to tell you that she is quite beautiful."
Her grin turned soft.
"She's.. I don't know. I feel lucky to have her, lately."

She could swear she could feel him slicking his hair back all gentlemanly, "Oh... well. Byr says he's handsome too. Weapons are still so very weird."
She frowned a little. Lucky? Was she missing out on something here?, "Why is that? That... you feel lucky for her lately I mean."

Sasha grinned, though the grin didn't last long. In fact she started to look slightly appalled.
"Uh." She gave a breathy laugh, cheeks turning pink.
"Nona uh. She says um. Well."
Sasha squeezed her eyes shut and rattled off, "Nona says she appreciates a handsome boil."
She gave Rin a pained look.
"Like, on the mission to Antarctica - and even before it - I didn't have my flute. Well, someone left it for me, like. It's a long story, I don't want to bore you. Anyway. My ah. Music has always been like. Really important to me. So um. Nona's singing. It helps me focus. Kind of. Not lately, though. Things have been weird lately."

"Weird lately how?" Rin leaned in inquiring. Deciding to ignore Byrs giddy ranting in the back of her mind.
Rin suddenly started to look rather pained herself. Ignoring him wasn't easy when he'd speak so little to her in general. She had barely gotten used to him yet.
<PLEASE, I'm begging you!>
She buried her face in the palm of her hand.

Sasha's lips twisted and a dark frown tainted her expression, alternating with the pink cheeks that made her embarrassment obvious. Nona was going wild. Insane, loud and rambunctious for the first time in a long, long, long time.
"Breeding program."
Sasha was telling everyone she came into contact with. Misery loves company.

"Breeding what now?" Rin's grumble was muffled by the palm of her hand before she slid it from her face to give Sasha a baffled look.

"Breeding program," Sasha paused dramatically.
...
...
"For frickin' hunters."

Rin couldn't help the smug grin that crept across her features at Byr's expense.
"Oh? They breed hunters now? Please say we get a choice in the matter?" her grin relaxed back into a soft little smile as Byr vehemently stomped about in her thoughts.

Sasha looked grim. Very grim. So, so grim.
"I didn't even... I didn't even know. I mean. Someone found a list. With names and like. Potential."
Sasha's expression grew irritated.
"I get really frickin' mad when I think about it."
