Abby opens her mouth instantly and then shuts it, because she can't think of anything to say. In wake of her silence, Clarisse keeps talking. She's right, and Abby did not get that, she assumed—
Her face feels very hot.
She's always talked about Ellie like that to other people. Seldom complaining, even coming to her defense once or twice because nobody else could possibly get it, not like they do. But is that even true? Or has she just been stopping Clarisse from trying to understand her, and know who she is? She did this with Derrica, too. And Glimmer.
The problem with Thedas is that the friends she's made don't know what she's been through. She's used to them already knowing. It isn't a bad thing, it's just different and she obviously isn't handling that well.
"Right." What she wouldn't give for something to happen that would force her out of the room and from this conversation... Abby gives it a couple seconds just in case before she grunts, "Sorry."
