“You think I’m pretty?” She smiled, stepping closer.
(I considered commenting on that sneak compliment.)
Something about this is making me feel more wary of our POV character. Could it be that we’re actually getting Bonesaw’s own POV? I suppose if anyone’s going to break the unwritten rules of how these Interludes work, it’s gonna be the unpredictable one.
I don’t have any solid evidence, though, just a gut feeling based on this one line of dialogue and accompanying narration. The POV character so far seems like a nice enough girl, with the exception of her habit of stealing things.
I guess it’s just that when I read this, I can’t help but picture both the dialogue and the action with a more sinister tone than may have been intended here. I imagine Cinder Fall from RWBY.
