[Kaede tilted her head just slightly. She was half expecting Maria to reject the vial, or at least tuck it away next to the flower vase. Seeing otherwise brought her a surprising measure of relief, though words were more difficult to place.
But with Maria's attention on opening the vial, it gave Kaede a little time to stall. She pulled out a matching potion from her vest, staring quietly at the quicksilver contained inside. The Witch didn't seem to want assistance, so Kaede offered none. At least for opening the potion. Her previous offer was a finished story.]
I feel that way too, sometimes. [Like 90% of the time when her Bonded isn't around and Kaede's been staring off into the middle distance too long.]
But sometimes I get tired of that, too. Spiteful thing I am.
[And then she gets mad again instead of being depressed and listless. Totally healthy way of managing emotions.]
