She would not be able to let that go so quickly or cleanly, even if there was nothing she could do for them now better than simply keeping away.

[Cathaway's narrowing attentions are impossible to ignore. She had once been a woman capable of singular focus. Now, capable of more attention than she had been then it could almost be a fearsome thing, if she didn't so often use it for such petty things.]
I am sure it is foremost of your concerns. [The sarcasm shows itself only in a delivery more flat and devoid of emotion than usual. The feeling fails to radiate, however, no anger humming along the cord that stretched between them.] If I were injured every time a new Host refused to believe simple truths I would not still be living. Am I to believe she had nothing but kind words for you?
