[ There a burst of feeling (embarrassment that she knows, bashfulness over not having been the one to tell her, worry that she'll think less of him) the Quentin swallows hard. That's not the point. The point it: ]
I think you're better at running than you would be at fighting him Who's out there that you trust who are you with?
[ She is irrationally affronted by that admission; wants to dig heels in against Quentin's observation, honest as it might be.
Takes a minute to try and look around her, draw her focus back to the screaming loop of strangers she's found herself among. ]
Billy and Eddie.
[ A little wry. Billy, who she nearly killed once. Eddie, who Quentin warned her about. ]
People I don't know. Iggy, Kovacs. Gilia and Sweeney. Grady. Kirigan.
[ A trailing, unsteady list. Saying their names sharpens the looping pulse of emotion, the links delivering sensations and memory to her in an overwhelming deluge. ]
[ Comes with a tunneling, uncomfortable sort of focus.
Which part of what she feels now is Kirigan? Something in the swirl of feeling belongs to him, it must, but she lacks the familiarity to pick him from the muddled churning loop. ]
