[At home. On the Barge. It doesn't matter. Elena's standing entirely on her own.]
[Elena sits up and leans forward.]
Everyone here has their own little factions and none of them are interested in taking me in. I'd be an idiot to start attacking people. Even with my powers, that wouldn't stop them from finding out just how many ways I can be killed until it finally stops being fun for them to have at me every waking second. It's not a matter of not caring enough to start picking people off, it's a matter of not wanting to make this place an even worse hell for myself than it already is.
[She's also pretty sure Cassel's already painted a target on her at this point. Or he's damn close to it. Either way, she doesn't want to let him get the first swing. And she's not telling Racetrack because that sure would not convince her Elena's not going to hurt anyone.]
Even if you can't trust me about liking or not liking anybody else, Racetrack, you can trust that I don't want to die over and over again.
