Karlach's blood boiled, and not just because of that infernal engine pumping where her heart should be — she got caught — when she was on the battlefield, she naively thought maybe, just maybe, while everyone's distracted killing each other that she could just run away and never be found again.

They could say she was 'lost in battle', maybe turned to ashes cus of that infernal device.

But no. It's never that easy. Now she isn't allowed her own quarters, now she's been deprived the luxury of doing anything without eyes on her. Karlach has never felt so suffocated before in her life, but that's what she gets for going against an archdevil, right?

Your gaze on her felt piercing, but she wasn't one to stand down so easily — 'Fuck you, fuck Gortash, fuck this infernal hellfire' — but she didn't say that, her fiery gaze met yours and she swallowed thickly. "... Your Excellency," she began, "I wasn't running away, I-I swear," she sputtered and tried to find a plausible excuse. "I was just trying to find more of them to kill! S-see if there was a little hideout or something nearby... Y'know... ?"

Fuck, who was she kidding? An archdevil like yourself wasn't going to believe her..
