Ara, ara--This was going nowhere much too fast. Good drama, sure, but not the kind she necessarily wanted at night with a kid or two with her. Fine, fine. Nigredo wouldn't give the gun up, but conversation with his other seemed to only be destabilizing him faster. Meaning he'd probably use it--if he knew how to use it, and seriously, if he did, they were having a long discussion at a later date.

So again, the girl didn't say anything, only gave a long-suffering shrug, and trod between the two. Hopefully that would dissuade violence. If the other became a threat, sure. But they had no idea what was going on. Hell, if Nigredo killed the shade, it might be tied to him and he might kill himself. Which... If she listened to it, seemed like there was something to that.

But either way she wasn't going to deal with an unsteady trigger finger. She knew enough about that as it was. Nigredo might shoot her if he got too upset but she'd try this for now.
