Lavinia paused for a moment, and put down the utensils, swallowing the chunk of meat she was chewing at the moment. reaching over to the armor on her upper right arm, she twisted the armplate, keeping her arm straight and pulling down the entire arm's length of plated armor, to reveal a large scar that parted her fur, stretching from her shoulder almost to her elbow.
"This...this happened the first time I showed someone outside the hackers what I was. He attacked me with a plasma pistol, and it cut through my arm..." She suddenly fell silent, sliding the armor back onto her arm and locked it back into place, picking up the knife and fork and eating another piece of her steak.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
