Fatima
Fatima shuddered at the invocation of Aric Lantos.
"You don't need to bring him into this!" she snapped back angrily. "I know enough about that man to last a lifetime. I know more about him than you'll hopefully ever need to!"
Her expression shifted and she wrapped her arms around herself, suddenly looking anxious and remorseful.
"I'm sorry," she said. "You don't deserve to be treated this way. None of you do, after how kind you've been coming here to help me. I'm just... so used to acting a certain way. It was my only defense. It's hard to drop that now. And... well, between you and me, the pregnancy hormones don't help."
