"Yeah, no Beast, just kinda bored until a giant came wandering through
town." She nods slightly and follows her, trying not to look too overt
about leaving.
When they get out, Mira leans on the wall of the house and nods
emphatically. "I didn't remember either. Now I can look back -- it's kind
of like a dream. Like, there was a peasant boy I made friends with who was
Davin, and a prince that was Dylan. But at the time we were just --" She
shakes her head. "Who we were. I didn't exactly enjoy the whole
dream-brainwashing when it was in a siren cave. Twice..."
She waves vaguely, though it's not exactly a vague thing in her life, not
since the nightmares and ensuing insomnia after being kidnapped nearly put
her in the hospital. She has Davin to thank for that; whatever sigil he put
on her, it's kept all but the most terrifying nightmares at bay, and those
aren't about being in a siren cave or losing her grip on reality. Mostly
about her family dying, or her friends, and her being helpless. Terrifying,
but totally normal bullshit.
Mira nods again, more firmly. "I don't think they do either. I mean, Davin
killed a dragon. I would have been food. I'm smart, but --" She glances at
Raleigh. "Sometimes I feel like that isn't enough."
