[It's a small piece of vulnerability, something rarely offered to anyone, but Rani isn't just anyone. It isn't a secret told with cold eyes and a voice she wills not to falter, it's a small piece of honesty, about a past that no one really understands.
But Natasha isn't a child anymore and she half expects the woman to use it against her. The fact that she doesn't is enough to make her blink slowly, lashes over blue eyes. A nod of her head in silent agreement, almost solemn at those words.
The hardness to her eyes then, like shards of glacial ice, betrays that for all she might have stopped Lakshmi, she isn't on the Ceta's side. She does not like the Cetagandans, a secret she hides like smoke. She can still remember Diya's words in the dark.]
I am going to.
[She says it with an intensity, with a heat that's too cold to burn. Oh Rani, but she wants to make them ashes. All of them.]
