She is covered in blood now - her coat stained even more than it was before. The skull markings that line her face are still clean however - pristine even. It is unsettling and fitting of her. Her golden eyes do not seem weary behind her mask, if anything, they are all the more alive for the killing. It as if the lives she has taken have somehow given her a second wind. Her righteousness that stole their lives now fuels hers. And it shows.

As Volterra approaches, she regards him with the same emotionless distance that she possessed before the blaze. Her flanks still heave out and in as her longs labour for oxygen, but the strain doesn't show in her gaze. As he calls her possessed, her ear flickers for a moment uncertainly. She can't be sure if he means this as a criticism, or as some metaphysical observation. Being possessed, she believed, was meant to imply being different in some way - held in the grip of some other mind. Did he really think he knew her well enough to ascribe a difference in her attitudes? They two had only been together briefly once before, and yet he stood accusing her of letting something else control her? Or was it an observation? Did she appear different somehow? Physically? Snorting, the girl said nothing. Silently she believed that Volterra would decline both of these interpretations.

"Because it was not their time." She answered simply, her bright golden eyes hidden behind her long lashes as she paused to inhale and try to soften her breathing. "Without the Moon Goddess to rally the night, the temperature has risen. This fire should have never started. The God's made a mistake when they threw her into the fog of the Edge ... whatever punishment they feel she is suited for does not diminish the way the earth needs her. "

Again the girl paused to study her companion. She did not possess the internal mechanics that so many around her seemed to - she didn't know what information she should tell and at what moments. How much did Volterra need to know?

"Hototo was the first offspring of my Father ... he died at the hands of the Moon Goddess. The circumstance of my birth was necessitated by balance, and that is my purpose now. It is all I am - a force to maintain equilibrium." There was a small hint of pride in her voice, even though the way she described herself seemed so hostile and detached.
