[Shionne's voice catches her off guard for just a moment, something Kisara expertly contains under a composed veneer. It's an interesting choice of words and not at all inaccurate. Badly twisted, indeed. She shakes her head.]

It reads like someone's version of a bad joke.

[And that is putting it extremely lightly. On the contrary, it's something that strikes right into Kisara's centre. If she were a different kind of person, perhaps she might be handling it differently. More poorly. She's not okay with it, regardless, but unlike the Hallowing that took place in Menancia, she doesn't have a body to grow livid with.

It helps, in a way, that there isn't an Alphen to hold her back at this point. Not that she feels she always needs him, but he was vital in that particular moment.]

I won't ask you for details, but it sounds like yours had something the same.
