Confusion
Jae clasped her hands together pleadingly as she looked at Katherine.
The Sin felt her defences quickly crumbling down, in a way that it didn't usually for most people. She was even quite immune to her friend, Le Xuan's acts of coquettishness, but in front of Jae's unadulterated pleading, she couldn't resist.
"Fine."
Jae cheered with sparkly eyes. She grabbed and hugged Katherine's arm, attaching herself to the other girl without another word.
Katherine was speechless. Why was she so close? Did she still need comfort? She could let go now, and comfort herself.
Or was this some sort of imprinting that was going on?
"Are you a Sin?" she asked bluntly. It was a rude question, and it would have caused a lot of people to jump out and fight her, but this Jae didn't even mind it at all. She answered like it was the most natural thing for Katherine to ask.
"No," Jae said cheerfully. "I'm a Bright."
"Hmph."
