What? [she seems slightly surprised to hear this, and then slightly annoyed.] No, I am human. It's not the first time someone has been mistaken about that.
No, I don't think he would. [mean bad by it. she knows she's weird.] When people speak to me, they think I'm an adeptus. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's my demeanor, or my strength.
A step below, I'd say. [she shrugs.] It is what it is. I'm not an apprentice to save the world or do anything grand like that. It's just my circumstance. I grew up with them.
she's never really thought of them that way, but...]
Close enough. [that's really the most honest answer she can give. she cares about them, and they took care of her, so. hangups about the word or no, close enough.]
[ SHENHE REALLY SAYS SUCH ALARMING THINGS... He doesn't know if he likes that, but seeing as Shenhe seems okay with it, he should be, too. There's still visible concern. ]
How's your soul feeling?
[ Since he thinks he'd notice the curse if it's at work right now. ]
she just doesn't answer that. but it's clear she heard, and even as she changes the subject to something we can fade off on, she'll be thinking about that.]

[ His expression is a smile, but... Well, he moves on. ]
You should tell me some of your story! Wolfwood was saying you're not human?

I'm sure he doesn't mean anything bad by it, but I'll be sure to correct him. [ Since he thinks they should do her right. ] How come?
[ Vash really just thinks she's quirky. ]
no subject
No, I don't think he would. [mean bad by it. she knows she's weird.] When people speak to me, they think I'm an adeptus. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's my demeanor, or my strength.
I'm not. I'm just a disciple. Nothing more.
no subject
Uhm. ]
I think I'd better understand this if I knew what an adeptus is...
no subject
Spiritually enlightened immortals. My master is one. Up until recently, they were bound by contract to look after Liyue and protect it.
no subject
[ At least that's what it sounds like to him. ]
And you're an apprentice? That sounds like a big deal.
no subject
no subject
Ohhh... Wouldn't they be called your family?

Close enough. [that's really the most honest answer she can give. she cares about them, and they took care of her, so. hangups about the word or no, close enough.]

That makes sense if people think you're not human since you were raised by them... We pick up habits and mannerisms from people around us.
You seemed a lil' annoyed by it, though.
no subject
[she doesn't mind telling him, because he's on her team and he should probably know anyway. a pause.]
I'm not annoyed, I don't think. Or... [hmmm.] The idea of family makes me uncomfortable.
no subject
[ An understanding nod! He won't pry her more on that since it seems like a touchier subject. Uncomfortable is not what they should be.
But. Uh? ]
Are the red ropes not a fashion choice...?
no subject
[as for the rest, though, she glances at him.] No. They're bindings. They keep my soul contained, and suppress my curse.

no subject
Fine. I'm not going to murder anybody.
no subject
DON'T HEH ]
So this is where the homicidal tendencies come in...
no subject
They won't become reality unless it's necessary. [the question as to what she defines as necessary however]
no subject
[ just the anakin and padme star wars meme ]
no subject
That could be one of the reasons.
no subject
... If you ever feel yourself slipping, you know we're here for you.
