[ 'Badass' training. Vanessa lingers momentarily on that word, understanding enough from context, but it should be self-derogatory, shouldn't it? She's not about to repeat it to find out. Vanessa Ives, saying 'ass' in public? Not when in her right mind, at least.
Vanessa is curious about the training Fei may have had, but it isn't fit to ask Red about that. Besides, she's much more curious about this strength that the girl claims to be able to summon. But not for long? Why? ]
Only briefly?
[ It is good to know, should they be in danger. This is so very curious. Vanessa knows she wouldn't be able to summon that kind of strength at all, not without losing complete control of her identity.
Oh, when life is threatened, she can fight... She can kill, and she has, but not without taking a beating herself. Not without risking her fragile frame. There are ways she could be stronger, to protect herself, but that power is a last resort. Not something to be used in...bar brawls. Vanessa would rather take a light beating than further damn her soul over such things. ]
Does it hurt? To keep that strength inside? ...Or to release it?
