Eda curled in on herself slightly more when it sounded like Raine misunderstood what she meant, at least to a degree. It somehow made her feel even worse when they were nice about it.

She was about to explain herself better, when they went on, and she couldn't entirely hide a wince at not physically. Still, her shoulders relaxed somewhat. At least the mirror was lying.

Finally she took a deep breath.

"I didn't mean... I remember everything you said." She sort of wished she didn't, but that wasn't their fault.

"It's just, uh—after that," she went on quickly. "I tried to make sure I was far away before—" she cut herself off, whether she simply didn't want to talk about transforming or because she didn't want to use her worry over their safety as an excuse for the way she'd acted.

"I thought it was lying. You'd have said something or..." Or they'd have scars, most likely even with a good healer. But she'd still had blood on her the next day... and she'd never found out what it belonged to. Or who.

"I just needed to hear it." She sounded apologetic, and embarrassed.
