"… Sorry," Sunshine says. Seems he's reached the conclusion she'd sort of hoped he wouldn't (for all that it's probably correct). Is that such a bad thing, though? Hell, she could have done with some warning before the rift snatched her up; at the very least, she would have made sure the morning shift at the bakery was covered…
But she doesn't want to think about her presumed absence or how well everyone is (or isn't) coping. Instead, she shifts her focus to the tea - and the company. His shadows are still some of the most quiet she's seen this side of the rift. There's a very slight movement, but not much of one. That, and the tea appreciation, and that unshakeable aura of propriety he's sporting click together in her mind, and she realizes with a sharp pang that he reminds her of Yolande. Gods, the two of them would probably get along swimmingly.
The little epiphany elicits a faint, sad smile that she disguises with another sip of tea. "Not that interesting," she says, because the ways in which she is interesting are not on her list of pleasant topics of conversation. She's already set him up to protest that escaping from vampires is interesting - damn - and she searches for something else notable but not unpleasant. Well, hell, the transmutation is pretty harmless, right? "Baker and small stuff-changer," she says with a little shrug. "That's about all there is to me."
