She didn't expect him to care, because in actuality, she had a difficult time caring. While she respected him a good deal, she definitely did not like him. "I spike with Doctor Gavyns about my file, but obviously you have read it more in depth than she. I have a question to ask."

She managed to seem relaxed as she sat there, but if he was paying attention, he'd see the slight grip to her fingers, the way her teeth clenched ever so slightly.

Her voice had softened in a moment of fear, her heart skipping a beat in her chest. She had to compose herself, to try and seem only mildly curious.

She wanted to believe him, wanted to trust that Mat could keep her safe... maybe even explain why she was scared in the first place. Her fingers lightly touched a scar, usually hidden by her shirt. It curved around her shoulder and still burned, the memory far too fresh. "If I tell you... Mr Amtrum," a momens of unexpected respect, coming from the sometimes haughty Piper, "Will you... promise me something?" She waited a moment before saying, "This is the first time I've ever built a life, any life... and I... like it. I don't want to losee it."
