"I don't smoke." She still hasn't even touched the drink in her hand. It's honestly a waste of alcohol, when the boat isn't restocking.
She doesn't take her gaze of Erin. Doesn't stop staring holes in her.
"Never said it got me. I know what I am. I fit right in with every other murderous bastard on board. I saw all of those people who started off soft either disappear or join us. I don't know what's different about you lot, but is it so hard to believe I just want a chance to live? Not be a damn shade?" She huffs air out her nose. "I don't know what my future is, but I'm not. Going. Back. And if I find a way, I'm getting my partner back. It's that simple."
She does not sound any more sure about how to do that than she did when she talked to Murderbot. Not really. But damn if she isn't clinging to it anyway.
