[Karen can't help but smile at that. At Eleven's obvious surprise that she's not scared of her. In fairness, it's entirely possible that her 'should find this fucked up' barometer is all out of whack considering the kind of people she likes to keep in her life. But having - powers, or being really good at murder doesn't necessarily mean that person is someone she needs to be afraid of.
So she rests her fingertips on the edge of the undisturbed plate.]
No. You've been able to do that this whole time, and you just used it to help clear off the table. You didn't even knock over the plate we're already using.
[She is somewhat concerned by what it implies that this girl can blow a whole feast clean off a table and that the fae still managed to trap her here. But that's going to be something to wrestle with later.
Instead, she just gives her head a nod when Eleven says she's okay. She's strong.]
I know. I can tell you're strong. But, um, sometimes things can hurt even when you're strong. The friends I mentioned, that can do amazing things - they get hurt really bad sometimes. But it doesn't make them any less strong. It just means that I get to remind them that it's okay to sit down and take a breath after they do something amazing.
[With that, Karen pulls the chair next to her back from the table, an offering for the girl to sit there before she dives back into this impromptu geography lesson.
Honestly, it's kind of nice to think that she might have finally found the ceiling for weird shit happening. Telekinetic thirteen year old in a fae realm is certainly going to be hard to beat.]
