Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cybele didn't really want to think more about the people getting fed to youma, especially not after she'd finally mostly managed to get herself together, but Megrez's comment and question didn't leave her much of a choice. "The only person who definitely could have killed me and didn't is Bischofite... But he's also the one who was feeding people to the youma, and he's the one who killed my... friend, that night, so..." Her voice was forcibly drained of emotion as she rattled off his offenses, but her disgust was evident when she added, "He's a monster, stay away from him."

"The rest sort of run together. I'm not sure how all of my fights ended, actually. There's been a lot. I know I never died, obviously, or killed anyone until recently. Umm...Natron, maybe? I know who I spared, though- Kyanite, she was the one who begged. There was also this other lady, I don't remember her name but she had dark skin and a hood and a spear." Hopefully that was good enough. Cybele didn't have the time or emotional stability to give the details of each experience.

She shook her head when Megrez tried to give her advice. She felt better, now, less shaky, at least, and that was enough. She was't going to figure everything out right now, she realized, but that was all right. "No," she said, "You don't have to, and... can't, really, solve my problems. You have to figure things out for yourself. Actually, you've done that, so now you have to stay strong."

"We should stay in touch," she continued as she stood up and summoned her phone. This had gone pretty well. She could see herself texting Megrez sometime. As she scanned the other girl, she asked, "Do you know how this works?" just in case.

Sparing Mica was one of the things Cybele felt most guilty about, and learning that she'd tried to... Probably almost killed Megrez was awful, like a punch in the gut. It was her fault. Despite how cheerfully the other girl was acting about it, Cybele looked at her feet and said, "I'm so sorry."

Then, because she had a lot to think over and some emotions to deal with, she stepped back, made sure that Megrez's name was in her contacts, smiled as well as she could, and turned away. "Well, goodbye," she said.

Then she bolted away into the shadows at full speed, hopefully fast enough to clear her head.
