The weight of such heavy ruby eyes was difficult for the bird-boned girl to bear. Gentle, shallow pools of eggshell blue mirrored the woman's piercing gaze, as though two polar opposites could face eachother on such mortal earth.

Briefly, China wondered if it was possible for her to ever be as strong as the Triarii. That mentally she deemed the other woman 'strong', rather than vicious, overly aggressive or cold, was another sign to show how the girl's insides were cocooning themselves, her inner workings reshaping into a beautiful, horrible butterfly.

The silver songbird's frail smile went unnoticed, but her words did not. To the other woman's heartless reply, the girl seemed to surface from the depths of her vague listlessness. A spark of the true China shone, energetic, in her eyes. "Oh, Lady!" Such a terrible, sweepingly dramatic statement to so blandly make! One blushing hand fell to the bony ridge above her heart, the other showing palm as though to reach for the distanced Halo. "We must have faith. Everybody can be saved, in some way or another; We just have to have faith!" A truth she had to believe, so firmly. Without it, perhaps her entire composition would fall apart - Stitches tearing so that her flesh could fall, finally, into silver ribbons.

She was not the most intelligent of creatures, far too airy to hold true mental substance, as though a soft eastern breeze had been given succulent form. But one trait she did have, impeccably so, was the ability to read emotion. Behind the she-warrior's mask of concrete there was indeed a desolate place, that perhaps had once been made fruitful by the offhanded love for a traitorous son. However, China's lack of intelligence prevented her from making a somewhat obvious connection between Kaena's grandchild, Halo's spawn, and her dark secret.
