Jesse didn't respond to Chris. On the contrary, she allowed things to unfold before his eyes just the way she had to so long ago. She didn't give a shit if he was scared; let him wet his pants, it might amuse her a little. As the Reaper joined them, Viva by his side, her eyes snapped open. For a second their gaze's locked, but it was soon broken as she nimbly stood and stretched in a graceful, fluid movement. "I'm taken aback, R," she said with a yawn while playing with a dagger. "I believe I'm most interesting, and unlike the others of my first bach, I'm still alive and well." The brunette shot him a dark glance. "Partially anyway." Her attention reeled around the room as she circled around the children to stand beside the man. She returned her attention to Chris and the other boy. "Why not just kick back and listen for a change? You might find out something useful instead of letting your little-boy emotions take over your minds."
