she hadn't noticed the bundle upon her arrival, and she dips her nose to sniff at it now, her belly churning in both hunger and surprise at the varied smells of the bundle. her head is still bowed slightly when Mireille speaks again—and upon those first few words, it shoots up and her neck almost hurts with the whiplash of it.

'ulie. . .deadh? she asks, her face gone drawn and hollow. 

Erzulie? the woman who had saved her life, who had taken her in when there was no reason for it, other than kindness and charity.

it can't be. . .

she owed her life now to Erzulie, and she feels as if she'll go to her knees at this news—but she remains upright, with effort. gives a stout nod to the girl, who's remained brave-faced throughout this interaction.

'hhank you, Avicus says. i'm. . .i'm 'hhorry. no words would be adequate.
but see, amid the mimic rout,
a crawling shape intrude —
a blood-red thing that writhes from out
the scenic solitude
