Bella smiles slightly at Linden and Fire's words.
"Death, Dying and the Afterlife is very much a macabre and morbid topic, one of the many reasons why so many are scared to talk about it. People see it as a taboo today to look upon their mortality and not blink." Bella says sagely before taking another sip of her drink.

"Hey Slaver! Time to answer for all the contract extortion and mind games you thought you can get away with!"
Linden feels the hairs on the back of their neck lift, turning as the shouting of Loki is loud and clear across the water. Among the Freeholders, the slur had obvious connotations: the Summer noble was accusing Archie Hartman of mind control and abuse of the Wyrd over his allies.

Linden's exit from the conversation was unceremonious, their glass shoved into Firebringer's hand whether she caught it or not. They hurtled away through the crowd, knocking more than one person aside as they went.

Fire immediately turns her attention to whatever is going on with Loki and Archie, her mouth hanging open in surprise. She almost goes to move, but... for some reason, she just doesn't. There is something about the surprised look on her that is different, perhaps given her molten lava like eyes look so much larger without eyelashes, even with the eyeliner helping to make them look aesthetically pleasing.
For barely a moment, she looks at Linden, morbidly curious what their response is to this. Archie is their motley mate, right? Or did I mishear that? Even still, Slaver? Mind games? Well... actually, mind games... yeah, I could see that, but still. What the heck is going on there? It is in that same moment that Linden shoves their glass at her. She nearly drops it as she watches them stomp off. Understandably "Shit." Is all she can really say.
And then she just stands there watching. She feels like an outsider. Am I an outsider? Suddenly something wells up in her and it doesn't feel good. She watches Archie get punched within an inch of his life. Again, she just stands there. This... this was supposed to be a good time. Especially for Riley.
The Torrent feels odd and just looks at Bella then and says in an odd tone, still holding onto Lindens glass, "Well... um... that was... uh, is... yeah..." it's awkward. Shouldn't I want to go fight? Or something? "I guess we'll see what happens there." She doesn't want to get involved. And then, suddenly, as soon as it started, it seemed to stop, people stepping in, Loki stepping back. She tries to turn her attention off of it. "Um," She looks down at Lindens glass, "So, Bella... where do you like to hang around?" It's all she could think to ask to try and insert something in there.

Bella blinks owlishly before looking over to Firebringer.
"I usually like to hang out around at libraries and coffee shops." She says with a small smile. "How about you?"Bella asks kindly

The conversation naturally tapers out, Firebringer watching her partner hustle their motley to a safer space with the Bishop of Blackbirds.
