Faeirex stared at the hand being offered to her. The faery's change of heart was more than a little confusing.

And decidedly unwelcome. She needed to dislike faeries. She needed to be able to cling to the idea that they were determined troublemakers with no regard for anybody but themselves. It gave her strength, kept her going. It helped her to be able to pretend that the doom they had placed upon her wasn't real.

Abruptly, she turned away from Laeriel, so that the faery couldn't see the regretful expression on her face.
"I don't need your apologies. I don't need anything from you. I'm glad you feel better now, but that doesn't mean I'm prepared to befriend one of your kind."
She almost spat the words. They were harsh, cruel even, she thought. But they were better than tears. Better than sobbing her heart out at her own fate.
