She wanted to be angry; to rail furiously at the injustice of yet another cruelty life had felt the need to visit upon her. She would even settle for hurt. Hurt she could deal with; she’d had practice. Instead she was… numb. She looked into the eyes of her watcher; a man she had trusted implicitly, who was more a father to her than her own flesh and blood, and she felt… nothing.

Turning her gaze away from the regret-filled pleading eyes she fixed hers firmly on the ground as he dabbed gently at the wound on her forehead.

Actually, I'm sort of working. At least, I'm posting up yesterday's reviews for the Ganya fic if that counts.
