What we found wasn't candy or sunshine, either. [Her tone flat and doesn't quite carry the same hint of underlying cruelty or snark. She's tired, so very tired but there's work to be done. Information to trade among other things. Though she can answer a few things before moving to slowly lean against the opposite wall.]
