[Chloe doesn't look at Bobby yet. Her mind is in the past, remembering what it had been like. She smiles ironically, a bit of a breathy laugh escaping her at his words. He was right, though.] That was only the beginning.
[Now she looks at him, most of the horror gone from her gaze and a genuine smile on her lips as she listens with interest.] Definitely not easy. You learn to roll with the punches, though. Makes you stronger. Despite everything, I'm glad it turned out this way. I'm proud to be who I am today. [She tilts her head questioningly at Bobby, as if asking if he was too, but Chloe thinks she already knows the answer to that.] You'd be a half-demon in my world. I only know two different kinds of half-demons, mind you, but if there are fire demons then why not ice, too? [She smiles.]
I don't know what it really is, or how it works. I just know I'm safer with it one. Supposedly it... lessens my 'glow,' so pesky poltergeists and evil spirits don't come flocking to me. [She grins ruefully at Bobby, but there is honesty intertwined with the humored sparkle to her gaze.]
...You seriously know how to make ice cream? [This from the girl who can barely fry an egg without it burning.]
