"Hopefully Gin," she said, returning his smile, if slightly unsure about it. "Depends if she fires off a Cruciatus spell at him, though."
That was her favourite. It was banned, of course. It had no redeeming uses and it was considered absolutely unforgivable if somebody put it to use. It was the single-spell version of a demontrap. Thoroughly unpleasant, useful only for causing pain. It was useless in battle, beyond slowing somebody down, and there were better ways to do that.
"She's not getting out of here without somebody doing her damage," she said. "She's going to say the wrong thing to the wrong person... not even Nel's method of killing her with kindness would work. She'd just dismiss Nel as a servant. She's all the bad parts of Hojo boiled down to a paste and boosted with psycho-racism."
With any luck, Apache thought, somebody will kill her.
"So long as she doesn't try to take me home," she said. "Speaking of, me listening in to Jyllandi conversations is fucked now. Bella's not going to let me get away with that in secret."
