So that's how it's going to be. Rey understands a lot better than Caedra might think. War will do that to you -- think of life as a number, all actions a statistic, everyone is expendable, civilians are a necessary casualty. When the GRIGORI program was created, it was supposed to predict the best outcome within billions of other possibilities; its financiers were displeased to find that these outcomes did not always work in their favor, and thus the program had to be cut. How many people died because of a statistic that proved the GRIGORI right?
A century living as different women tends to put things into perspective. Things that Rey wouldn't have considered on their own without those experiences in her head. Caedra doesn't have that. She hasn't seen the things Rey has, and Rey hasn't seen the things Caedra has. The chances of her ever seeing eye-to-eye with the demon is probably just as likely as Rey will ever want to go home and face what IV has planned for her.
Dropping the glass on the counter, Rey just huffs at Caedra's come on. She's too annoyed to be flustered.
"Whatever. If you're going to be boring and go back to your casual flirty high horse routine, fine. Not interested in this song and dance right now."
Contrary to what she just said, the music is still raging on when Rey turns heel and heads out the door. Caedra might humor a salacious afterparty with a grind-dancer, but it won't be happening at all in the absence of the dreamer.
