It's not a phase, DAD

Last post from me tonight.

While Potema was silent the whole time as he explained, she reacted physically. Her hackles raised again despite her sadness at the thought, the notion that she was lying about all of this. Why would she? What would she gain from lying about being his daughter, other than knowing the truth of an absentee parent? But she stopped, relaxed, when Bane was named, and not as himself, but as another person.

It started to make a little bit of sense, but Potema was very, very confused. In the end, she stared at him blankly, licking her lips before she spoke again. "So you're not Bane?" She asked, trying to understand. "And if you aren't...then who are you?" There were many more questions than that, but she wanted this answered first.
