[ Faith has given up much for her family; they'd given her a new life, a new way to live:a way to live without sin. She knew she was not sinless, she's not unaware of what she's done, but who would not do everything in their power to save others?
The Bliss helped with that (and sometimes the sounds of the angels would bite at her heart but she learned to swallow such things).
When she spots Pratt, she recognizes him immediately. Jacob had him and she knew how Jacob worked men and women alike. He relied on brute force, on torture and brainwashing. It always worked so much better with the Bliss, with her voice to guide them.
She approaches the deputy with careful, dainty steps. In her arms, held gently, are beautiful white flowers whose scent can be intoxicating—addictive. Still, she has no intention of using them; they must grow and bloom before she can work on Bliss production. No, right now, she's curious.
Jacob did a number on him and, given everything she knows, she knows better than to do anything to rile one of her brother's works up. ]
Hello, Deputy. [ No vitriol. No mocking. Just a simple greeting, a careful one. She feels much like the careful fox approaching a wild animal. She may die one day but that day will not be today. ]
