I hugged someone who staged a coup that involved slaughtering the people she worked closely with. She's capable of scrambling my brain in less then a minute leaving me a useless husk. I probably wouldn't be capable of breathing on my own if I pissed her off. Lorna and I are a littles  scared she'll stab us literally in the backs if she jumps to assumptions too quickly.

But at the same time I hugged someone who warned me about what's to come.  Whose preparing me for what will happen.  She's kind and kind of nurturing.  She's smart and strong. She can lecture and embrace in the same couple of minutes.   I think in another world she and my mom would have gotten along pretty well.
