[ Gideon doubles over as if thrown, hands on her knees and eyes bulging wide. She breathes in short, quick gasps, her body bracing for another shock that does not come.
It's only after she calms down a little that she notices the little flappy worm on her nose. I've got you is an absolutely ridiculous thing for anyone to say to her, let alone an insect, and Gideon nearly asks who the worm is before she realizes: ]
Are you fucking kidding me? I make one nasty comment to a nastier woman about her dead cav, and then she shows up? That's just my luck.
[ There's absolutely nothing worse than "letting it out." That must be why the cavalier-Omen wants her to do it. It's a punishment, or revenge, or both.
(The idea that there is a ghost who might care about her well-being -- that ghosts are even capable of caring about such things -- is unthinkable. That idea died when Pyrrha Dve shot her.) ]
