Forgive you? For what? What should I need to forgive you for?
[It's not innocence or naivete that compels her to say such a thing. She's lost so much of that, though her faith in people is still unwavering. But they both chose to participate in Lucille's game. Holding the desire for knowledge against someone? That Regina won't do.
It would make her a hypocrite.]
I will end up hurt regardless. This is not your fault. You named me, yes, but Lucille chose my name and the severity of the dare. [She doesn't point out that if Mami hadn't named her, this would be a non-issue. There's no reason to feed the other girl's guilt.] As I said, I can defend myself. And the way Alucard is inclined to hurt... [A fond smile turns up the corners of her lips, and her fingers lift from Mami's arm to feather absently over her neck.] I don't mind all of them.
[As for the others, well. She broke his jaw once. Maybe she'll break his kneecaps this time. That would be a refreshing change of pace.]
