Considering that her last shift included getting another aide, who she felt it prudent not to name despite the fact that she knew he didn't have to be, doing her work for her, Adah took the teasing in stride by giving River a cool, steady glance. She shook her head slightly. River had mentioned Reavers to her before; she hadn't needed to explain again. Adah was certainly the type to remember that sort of thing which almost made her wonder if it wasn't so much that River felt she needed to explain as much as it was River simply liking to explain. Or to brag. Her answer, and her attention toward the towel animals (she briefly recalled Orleanna's reception of such an animal over Christmas; it mostly included Orleanna choosing to not talk about anything for the rest of the day), however, did not satisfy Adah's inquiry about the eye. Had it been consumed? Rolled away in the scuffle? Removed for the sheer satisfaction of hearing it being plucked out of a socket, or was the removal something more utilitarian, in the desire for another hole?

These were, clearly, important details here.
