Esper's arm around her waist stilled her. Roza knew of her sister's gifts. She languished in the awe of Cruz's freak out but she let Esper take the solice and quiet she needed. Sitting still was not Roza's thing, it took concentrated effort to be there when Esper needed her, but it was not an obligation nor a burden. That her friend took that from her made it all that much better, all that more real the connection they'd shared.
Roza pressed her face to the other woman's as she recentered. Esper laughed and the games began again. Roza smiled brightly was she watched Esper corral Cruz, the fear in his eyes grew wider as he looked into Esper's. Roza licked her lips and turned away. It wasn't a private moment shared between them, it was for Cruz to define for himself. Feeling the fear of his self and those around. He'd felt something in that fear -- that's what Zeke wanted to push in everyone. Find that h ook. They might need P to do it, but Cruz was a rich softie.
She shared a knowing glance with Sami and watched as their new friend got the soliloquy of seduction that came from the carnival. She may be Romani but she wasn't Carnival -- not yet.
