Valkyrie looks nervous. Her eyes are narrowed slightly, but without menace. She seems almost apologetic at the moment. "Carol…" she says softly, and her voice quivers.
Her cousin regards her calmly, and then she shakes her head. "You're going to tell me that China's been with you for the past few weeks, aren't you?"
"How… How did you know?"
"Oh, so it is true after all." Carol blinks tears away, and then she smiles. "I'm not blind, after all. And I did think I recognized your boots."
"I feel really horrible about it. You're free to harm me as you wish."
"Oh, stop wallowing in your misery. Like I'd ever do anything that would hurt the one I love so much. She's happier with you, just like you'd be happier with blonde chick, who is living a wonderfully fulfilled life with the eyeless Texan. Get over it, and get on with your existence."
"You'll really forgive me?"
"Never. But I love her too much for you to be an issue. I'm not going to endanger what we have by confronting her."
"So you confront me?"
"Yep."
"Sometimes I forget I'm related to you…"
"I can't imagine how." Carol grins fiercely.
