Valdis looks away. She can feel his anger, but she's not quite sure exactly where it is focused in the conversation, but it is generally at her. It's not exactly a position she's found herself in before, being betrayed by someone she thought was a friend. She has enemies she didn't know existed and after everything she still wants to trust people. She doesn't want to be alone again. But the one thing she can't trust surfaced in her panic and someone loved by someone she cared about had died. He had died brutally and Ava hadn't spoken to her since, and Valdis was too afraid to seek Ava out.

"I'm very shaken right now, Siffleur. It has more power than I thought it did and I lost control of it in the melee. I...am afraid if I try to take energy from someone I will kill them by accident. Enough people have died because of me already and I don't think I could handle killing Max, or Klaus or Nobunaga." She stops, trying to gather herself. "I know I need help...but...I'm scared"

It's not a feeling she's used to. Confidence, pride, power. She's had all these things for as long as she can remember. But fear? Fear is new.
