Marked with it? [She can't hide how scared that makes her.] Corvo, what...!
[Terra's words are cut off as he takes her hand in his, a gesture that surprises her - and sends a pang of heartfelt fondness for him through her heart. It all seemed so strange. This man, whom she'd not been afraid of at first, even with his frightening mask, even though all reason had said she should be terrified of him, had become someone she trusted and cared for. After attacking him, after ripping her claws - her horrible, terrifying claws - through his arms, he should be refusing to deal with her at all. And yet here he was, offering her comfort, and support, and camaraderie.]
[The rough squeeze is met with one of her own, much stronger and less willing to let go. Her fingers intertwine with his and she all but clings to his hand like a drowning victim might cling to her only lifeline. It's some time before she can speak, and her voice is shaking with emotion.]
I don't... You've no idea what that means to me. Thank you, Corvo.
[She's still holding his hand as the tears begin again.]
