It seemed to real, even to her sleepy brain.<strong>"What...what exactly are you, if I can ask that? And what do you mean about me and Calypsa being different? We're just two girls running away from Barovia."</strong><br/><br/>Nishka wasn't afraid of the cat anymore. It just didn't seem threatening at all.
