The smile may be bleak but it is met with an answering one. "I've had enough years lacking those, or a warm bed. Something is better than nothing, given the circumstances, at least."

Aaaaand yup, there's the expected answer. There's a pouting huff as she props her arm on the table, chin resting on her upturned palm.

"Fuck." She probably shouldn't swear in front of royalty but, eh. Whatever. "Well, I guess it was a bit much to hope someone here was telling tales." The plate is nudged around a moment. What IS it like? That gets a thoughtful hum. "I'm not sure you have anything to compare it to. But.. It's an extra something, you tap into it and draw on that power to do..things. Healing. Extra cover. Speak with animals. You know."
