[ Her teeth bare - and animals do not bare their teeth in laughter, they do so in threat, open and sneering as she swallows it down. How she has heard this all before. Heard so often. The honourable United India Company, bringing light and order. No, Lakshmi, we take your kingdom to ensure stability. No, Lakshmi, it does not matter that your husband parted the Kingdom in breath, your laws and protections mean nothing. No, Lakshmi, you will receive no help. Your people are feasted upon for their own good.
It's shaking in her fingers as she grips the clothes. So tight, white-knuckled, like she doesn't know how to let go. Thick and raw and burning in throat in the after choke of children's screams as parents were slaughtered in front of them. Men that yelled her war cries having their voices stolen in the din of war. By nightmares that stole it all in the midnight hours. Her people had never asked for any of this.
And this girl, this girl presumes she knows anything of the horrors of living on your knees? Like that somehow it was preferable, to be revelled in. She wants to gasp for choking on that smoke in utter revulsion. Tries to be calm, this is not the place or time. ]
Do you even care for the answer or are you too busy swallowing their poison?
