The Sentinels sin deep my wicked angel

Behati avoided speaking unless spoken to, and was waiting out her sentence with gritted teeth - no sense making things worse by engaging. When Lasher summoned them (well, Aria, but surely he meant for Behati to come as well), her first feeling was relief. Was it finally time to lift the Aria-shaped yoke? Behati stayed back, preparing to bolt in the opposite direction when her freedom was finally restored.

But she was dismissed - almost immediately. With a furrowed brow and a heart full of disappointment, Behati left the scene.
