"Thank you," Cassie told her again with a thankful smile, which then quickly faded at Eva's mention of dying. That was just not something that Cassie was prepared to deal with right now. It upset her too much to think about it, especially given that, with all she'd seen and been through, she was now very aware that anyone could die. The cruelties of war... Her lip quivered for a second as she opened her mouth to respond, but couldn't force any words from her lips. Taking a deep breath, Cassie forced herself to steady, deciding to avoid that topic all together.
"Really? I was able to be of some help?" That brought about a hopeful if somewhat hesitant smile. It made her happy to hear that the war had really ended (After so long, she'd begun to fear that the circle of violence would continue on forever.) and that she'd been able to do some good in their world. She wanted to ask more both about herself and the others, but she was still afraid of what she might find. Encouraged by the positive news though, she did question a bit further. "How?"
Deciding to risk taking it a step further, she added, "And my friends? They're okay too?" They'd all been such a mess when it all ended that it was hard to imagine, but if she had done alright in the end then perhaps they had too.
