WC:306+ hookay, sorry about the delay, you get two posts in a row though :]
Course Caprica realised she hadn't been eaten, but she'd also picked up on the fact Rio had exaggerated in order to demonstrate how affected she'd been by whatever they'd said and done to her. Still, she was all in one piece and whatever didn't kill you made you stronger, right? Poor girl seemed to be a trouble-magnet, because the next moment she was darkly alluding to trouble within the very corridors of Anathema. Hopefully she didn't mean anything stronger than an odd conversation or something - there were indeed a few oddballs lurking in the shadows down here - but all harmless, as far as Caprica could tell. She laid down her beads for a moment, peering closely into Rio's face with a frown. "You haven't had a hard time down here, surely?" she queried. "You better tell me if anyone down here is being a problem." A hard edge laced her words. No one messed with her family.
Rio asked her about her return to the lands, and Caprica let herself relax. It couldn't be too bad, like she'd already told herself. Rio seemed fine - all in one piece and making easy conversation. Hopefully she wasn't living with a dark cloud over her head, though. Mental scars were hard to see, sometimes. "Uneventful really. I was travelling through the forest and nothin' happened til I got met by Ravesque on the borders and then Mom came. Ohh, was that a happy moment," still brought colour to her cheeks to remember the reunion, although colour of a different and more guilty kind came as she remembered who had been there as well. She had to distract herself fast, and picked up the beads again: the bracelet was almost done.
