It was like a kick to the gut.
Hearing that name, her whole body stiffened. Her knees trembled, threatening to collapse on her, and her hands balled into fists. Grief, resentment, rage flared brightly in her stomach and she visibly swallowed, feeling that control slip ever so slightly. He wasn't being deliberately malicious, perhaps, but hearing that name was like seeing a ghost she had nearly exorcised. When she turned to face him, her face was tight with anger, whole body slightly trembling. Her eyes were frigid, expression just as cold.
Slowly, she stepped towards him, her voice a low, sibilant hiss of anger between her teeth. "That piece of schutta still owes me," she snarled, facing the T-visor with jaw working as though physically holding back words. "Yes, Malakai Beck. You see him, you tell him his life is mine." It took another few seconds before the anger smoothed out, and she took a step back, arms crossed tightly.
"Any more questions, Rawl?"
