Well, that's good to know! Some of them sure seemed rude earlier, though. But maybe it's just me. [ She shrugs her small shoulders and sighs. She'd tried being nice, but no one was listening to her so she'd snapped. Some people had scattered pretty quick, while others had tried to throw a little threat or two, which was pretty easy to ignore honestly.

Still, she has to hide a cringe because she's tough, yes, but she's not so sure if she can handle pain like he's describing. ]

That's not good... oh, Polly, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this on your own! That's just terrible...

[ ...Losing limbs sounds pretty hideous too, at least until he mentions mermaids. Unfortunately, her expression brightens. ]

Wait, mermaids are real?! Like... like in those cartoon movies? I want to be a mermaid! Oh, wow, that's really neat! [ Little does she know, of course. But singing and swimming around doesn't sound that bad to her... if that's all it really was. Too bad she's a little naive about mermaid lore. ]

...Wait, worse things? What... what worse things? [ He's piqued her interest even further now, morbidly so. A brow arches, and then she frowns. ]

Hold up, the fog...? Why doesn't everyone just wear gas masks or something when the fog rolls in?
