There wasn't a lot that could get Quinn's mind off of whatever she was thinking about, no matter what it was, more than talking to Roaki. Really, just being near her at all made Quinn feel better about herself: the girl had basically come back to life, she was so much more vital and energetic about [i]everything.[/i] Quinn had agonized over shattering the treaty with Casoban, but talking with Roaki always reaffirmed that despite the entire world telling her not to, she had done the right thing.

Even as she entered and heard Roaki (very loudly) call her [i][color=ec008c]deadgirl,[/color][/i] she felt her face almost unwillingly twist into a faint grin. Though she'd first heard the nickname in rather...unpleasant circumstances, it had in relatively short order become almost affectionate; something like Deelie. Quinn didn't really have one of those--well, she had, but she hadn't heard it in a long time and was more than happy to never hear it again--so it was a novel experience to have a friend give her one. She followed after Roaki, letting herself drop limp to the low mattress, content to watch and listen to Roaki. She was just...so [i]exceedingly[/i] tired. But even so, she felt that same faint glow inside of her when Roaki so excitedly mimed her movements.

"[color=ffe63d]I dunno,[/color]" she commented almost offhanded, "[color=ffe63d]I'm pretty partial to my cannon.[/color]" She wasn't telling the whole truth, obviously; though she'd grown less skittish of it through consistent use, the memory of Hovvi wouldn't be quashed so easily, and it did still evoke a bubbling unease in her gut. But looking back on the phase blast that had annihilated the cannoneer on a molecular level, she felt that same feeling of vicious satisfaction well up from deep within--but at the same time, not of--her.

The cannon was okay, she guessed.

A moment passed before the vague grin grew into something resembling a real smile, and she mimed holding the weapon in question. "[color=ffe63d]I don't even need to use the trigger anymore![/color]"
