"Hey I'm not that old. I'm only a twenty-something. Not a hundred-something and look like a twenty-something." She chimed back at the girl, crinkled nose and scrunchy eyes in her little bit of annoyance at that. "But yeah I've seen a lot of them, every year since I was little." She didn't want to say 'every year because I was sick and it's all my parents would let me do and only when I was in a building that didn't have people or my brain would overload'. She figured that was likely too much information to give her.

Leir caught all of her words but got stuck on 'But it's alright Fireworks'. Fireworks. Was she calling her fireworks? or was she talking about fireworks? or.. Leir looked a bit puzzled but let that brush off until she was sure what was going on. She wasn't sure she liked it, if it was a nickname, but then again she'd had her blow ups and they were practically brilliant with flames and colors so maybe it fit. She'd been deep in her contemplation of that when she could have sworn the kid asked if she thought she should die. Leir shook her head a bit.

"Wait, what? Your asking if I think you should die, or if Habren should? You uh, well," she laughed slightly biting at her lip. "Ki--- Ishani I don't think you should die for the fact that your turned, but I think you'll come to a decision to die on your own as some point, to change bodies. Then you can explore the shadow realm and tell me if you think its hell. As far as Habren? Well I've thought she's needed to die for a long time, and its one of the dozens of reasons I severed my bond from that bloodline. Does that answer your question?"

Ishani-Snow stared at her as if she might had grown a second head. She was turned shortly before her 8th birthday and she looked about 6 but no more than 7, not in the face but in her size. She had not grown much at all and if this woman was telling the truth, she would never grow unless she died and went to the shadow realm, to God's Realm... at least that's how she saw it. Still being twenty something was still more than 10 years older than her.

“You do know I'm 8 right?” she put a hand on her hip and pointed up at her, “To me you are old Fireworks.” she crossed her arms and gave her best firm look as though that settled everything, it did to her but she knew grown-ups liked to prove themselves right. “Even when I'm old, you'll still be old you are older than me.”

The logic of a child in many ways. Ishani-Snow listened to what the woman had to say about the Lady and even herself it took her several minutes to let it sink in fully what was being said. It wasn't due to her being 'turned' due to her biting the woman, she didn't seem to mind that she was a child who had caused this whole thing to happen to herself, simply due to her watching the grown-ups around her.

“I'll allow you to wish her dead or think she should die” she looked at her, “But no one gets to hurt her without me hurting them for it.” she was overly devoted to the woman, even before she was turned. In her eyes, no one was allowed to hurt 'her people' she placed a hand on her hip, “and you aren't so bad Fireworks, I might even stab a person who hurts you... maybe...” she wasn't sure yet about it. She turned on her heels and put her hands on the back of her head, “If I do, you should feel special. I won't do it for a lot of people.” She knew she wasn't strong yet, she had a long way to go but that didn't mean she wouldn't attempt.
