( when connor speaks vanessa doesn't expect him. if her senses were controlled, if vanessa weren't overwhelmed she would have seen him coming but she could barely handle herself.
she jumps with the surprise, instinctively shying away. his words still hit her and, with how calm they're spoken, they're easy to take in. it's just a question -- a request of help.
there's a few seconds of silence, vanessa trying to calm herself, before she responds. she can't quite bring herself to look over at him but she does manage an answer )
No. ( her voice is low, the response a little brusque even as she elaborates ) I've never seen them before.
