Rey opens her mouth to explain, but not before Carlisle continues with a whole comedic scenario of his own design.
Her mouth snaps back shut and she takes another gulp of tea. Sure, she could give him the whole story. Tell him how she woke up in the morgue of an abandoned hospital, probably left there to rot by Gregory after Safronov had served her purpose, and had been fighting for her life ever since, but...
She sort of likes his verion better.
"Yes, that's exactly how it happened," she simply says through another sip, waiting to see if it'll take long for him to realize she's pulling his leg. "How did you know? You must be a wizard!"
