She's certain that he'll be cautious with his questions. And even if he wasn't-well. It would take more then this to shake her out of her stoic defiance. There was no guilt about her possible early death. She'd accepted it as a possibility some time ago.

Even if it meant that some things she wouldn't see completed, should she return to her native world.

"Exactly that. My body..." She paused, a frown forming. It wasn't out of emotional stress, but an effort to think of how to speak carefully. If she was too quick, too cruel, even to herself, it might weaken his current resolve.

"It's fragile. I get injured easily, and I tend to be pulled into harms way. It would only be a matter of time before it broke down. It may be different in this world but-"

She shook her head. "In mine, what my body can do is too useful to gracefully retire. Even if I can't walk, the ability to sense the possessed-even if it causes me injury-"

A shrug. "Human nature."
