“Oh? That so? Yeah, I get that quite a lot. Stick with me kid, and I can teach you all sorts of badass things. Like how to shut up idiots. That’s really a life-learned skill, you know?”
Karina nodded, "Mm-hmm! I wanna do that, too!" she hesitated for a moment, and then frowned, "But mommy and daddy always said not to call people idiots...?" the girl looked up at Chiyo, confused. She had been raised not to insult people - and not to tell people to 'shut up' - because her parents had always said that only mean people did that. But Chiyo wasn't mean! She was a lot nicer (and less scary-looking) than the other people, Karina thought.
"Any questions so far Pierogi? What about you Midget?”
"Um... no, I don't think so."
"For the record, I don't like Pierogi. It's a foul human creation. I am getting some fresh air. It is getting stuffy in this shack. And... decide where your loyalty lies."
Waiting until Krov had left the shack, Karina turned to the older girl, "I like Pierogi! They're really tasty. And what did he mean by my loyalty? Oh, I remember I watched a movie once, and one of the really cool characters said that too. 'Decide where your loyalty lies', I mean."
