[ Hearing that that's what the Order kept Husk around for - as bait - makes her feel sick. Her body tenses as she tries to keep herself some semblance of calm, swallowing back the anger that's boiling in her chest; there's no point in getting angry, the people who had planned this are all dead.

But she regrets not hurting them just that little bit more in retaliation. ]

That's... vile. To use you like that. But they can't use you like that anymore.

[ But the fact that this Alastor is a potential threat is still a cause for concern, especially considering what he can do...

And despite Husk's warnings, she firmly shakes her head in response as her hand squeezes around his arm. No way, she refuses to let her Dad face this all on his own - not after everything he's done for her. Not when he's done so much to help her fight her own demons, literal and metaphorical. She knows he's worried, about what this Alastor could do to them, but she can't bear the thought of just... hiding away if he ever turned up. ]

You know we can't, Dad. It doesn't matter what he can do, we won't let him touch you. And you know even if we didn't face him, others here will.

[ Diarmuid and Zhongli certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye to Alastor showing up, that's for sure. ]
