[ Vanessa's smile is earnest. It almost hurts, really. She's attempting to be aloof, of course, but then one of the small ones tugs on her skirts to grab her attention, pointing a stubby finger at something he wants to show her every now and again. To be fair, there is plenty that she hasn't seen before, and so she doesn't have to overly exaggerate her awe when she leans down and covers her mouth in while listening to his secret or looking to where he points (although the little gasp is certainly just for the child). Each time, he giggles, pleased that he knew about something she didn't.
Then she spots Finn pick up one of the tiniest to boost him on his shoulders. It twists her heart. This is cruel, because it isn't real. She will cut out Lucifer's heart for this and so much more.
Vanessa doesn't speak up until they're near their destination, and it's clear that she is...very much where she doesn't belong. She's dressed far too fine. Up ahead, she can see remnants of debris scattered with some people grunting to lift a large piece of stone. Ah, something had been mentioned to that effect early in the morning. Not the most pleasant view. ]
...How awful. I wonder how often the tremors cause such trouble.
