[ Oooh, does that bring silence. A lot of it. She's staring at her for a moment, the emotions she's feeling somehow blessedly staying off of her face the whole time. Or perhaps that's not much of a comfort in the long run, leaving her in the dark with how she's reacting to it all.
Her jaw tenses for a moment and she goes to carefully roll her sleeves down. The fact that these were old scars meant that there had been old wounds, and while she had known that her time in Wonderland likely hadn't been easy, she hated knowing that it had been so hard. She hated being forced to see the evidence of it. There's a sadness to it, a worry, a guilt - she had been there, she'd left, and she couldn't remember a damn thing.
And there's anger. Anger she manages to quiet down, to keep at least a little more under control than she might have a year ago. ]
I told you not to for a reason, Max. [ Her voice trembles with the effort to stay even as she looks back up to her. She promised she wouldn't freak and she's trying her damnedest to keep it. ] This place fucks with peoples powers. You could've killed yourself.
