"So I've noticed, you should too considering you're the one that took my clothes and told me to stay here. I was just following orders," Reyna did not appear self conscious about the fact that she was naked. Why should she be? She was blind, it wasn't as though she could tell that anyone was staring at her. "Wolfe might be a mercenary, but he isn't a rapist." Sure, he would squeeze a mound or two, but he had never full on raped someone to the best of Reyna's knowledge. Wolfe tried to make a joke but Asther did not find it funny, Reyna shooed him out in the hopes that he would bring her clothes back from this magical laundry machine. Reyna still didn't understand how technology worked, phones, televisions, washing machines, it was all lost on her, which was funny considering she had spent time as Ariel.
The rain was still going, it had set them behind schedule, but hopefully now they would be able to continue on against the raging storm outside of the windows. "Are you sure money is the only thing you offered them?" Reyna asked quietly. She was worried for Ariel, she hadn't visited the body in a few days since they had found her sitting there the time before. Whenever Reyna attempted to head in that direction, they would stop her, thinking that she was all turned around and looking for the bedroom. Reyna had a feeling that there was something no one was telling her. Had Ariel died? Was the body rejecting all of those machines? Reyna certainly hoped not, she wanted Ariel to have a life of her own, a happy one with them on the island. The little girl deserved that much.
It seemed Asther would help Reyna shower. She assisted Reyna in putting on clothes and then led her to the shower, where Reyna proceeded to take off her clothes and wait for the water to turn warm. In the privacy of the bathroom, Reyna felt that Asther could open up to her. No one would be coming in here, if there was something that she needed to confide in the blind mermaid then Reyna would listen and listen she did. "All of us here, all of the girls on that island, we have all killed, you are no different than us." Reyna stepped underneath the stream of warm water, a chill creeping up her back. "You saw what we did there, it's nothing different than what we did any month. The mermaids live on revenge, we kill because we're taking back the lives stolen from us."
"I never took part in it, but that doesn't justify my past." She soaped up her body, continuing to listen to Corona speak. "I don't know," Reyna replied in all honesty. "It's just, after a while, you become numb to it. Mama taught us to compartmentalize, when I had my first confirmed kill, I was happy because I knew it meant that I had earned Mama's approval. She made it a thrill, she beat it into us that killing was just another duty, like doing dishes or taking out the trash."
