Valve dipped her nose down lightly, acknowledging Evaline’s question. There was no need for small talk, but it was a habit that was ingrained in the golden girl it seemed. It didn’t bother her as much as it might coming from someone else however. After all, Valve’s mental condition wasn’t the important topic that needed discussing this evening—Evaline had something far more useful to share with her, and luckily she didn’t waste any time getting to it.

“Tell me what you’ve learned,” Valve said plainly as she started walking slowly ahead, the setting sun at her back. She kept an ear and an eye fixed on Evaline as they walked together, flicking her tail gently and matching her stride.

As she listened, she took a moment to appreciate just how useful Evaline had been and continued to be ever since Valve did her the kindness of watching over her as she recovered from the injustices inflicted upon her. It was a largely selfless act for Valve at the time—and honestly she wasn’t entirely sure why she had done it. Perhaps it was something deep inside her, instinct or some other subconscious feeling that led her to take this course of action. Or maybe she just enjoyed punishing those who thought they were better—the unworthy, like Kasabian, who deserved to die.
