It felt good to joke around a little bit, to focus on something lighter. But then Towhee saw that Niamh took her comments seriously. The mercenary blinked, completely taken aback by this, a "whoa, what the fuck?" written all over her face even in the dark. Niamh knew her well enough that she hadn't even thought to toss in a disclaimer.

"Niamh," she said, her lightening mood suddenly sunk, "I—that was 100% a joke?" If she thought Niamh had known that, she was wrong. Her friend looked like she was about to cry. Towhee could only look on in perplexity, feeling like an asshole, even though that seemed extremely unfair. She only been kidding around, mostly for her own sake.

Niamh was now making self-deprecating comments and the mercenary's expression was turning toward horror as she realized she couldn't do this. She couldn't handle Niamh crying over her teasing, saying shit like, "It's not fair," not in this head space. "I'm sorry—I can't—I'm just gonna—" Towhee made a weird jerking motion and turned to go.
