    Summary

    “Why would you? Doesn’t it bother you?"

    “Not really.” Khalida is well aware that the Embrace left her with an innate pyrophobia– open fireplaces make her squirm– but she’s never been bothered by something so small. “I mean… you smoke, but you can’t take a candle?”

    “I don’t play around with fire,” Coco says forcefully. She finishes her drink and crushes out her cigarette into the empty thermos, as if to emphasize her point.

    “That’s a shame.” A smile creeps onto Khalida’s face. It’s nice seeing the stoic front crack a little. “Not at all?”

    -----

    Khalida isn't quite ready to invite Coco back to her Haven, but she is curious to get to know her better one-on-one. All the better if it means getting under Coco's skin.
