[stranger things have happened in this world. especially during the time the world had been flipped upside down and twisted into twelve different knots thanks to the devil. fortunately it isn't the strangest thing she's heard, nor is it the strangest thing she's actually believed. a thoughtful look crosses her face for a moment, and she makes a soft sound in the back of her throat.]
