"Ellie," She says, looking extremely apologetic. "Good to meet you, Kankri. I'm glad someone has got Venus' back."
She shoots a glance at Venus, wants to tell her that she was was on a hit list too, back home. Not because she looked strange, but because she was strange.
That she could actually understand why people would want her dead.
But she didn't want to say it, not here in front of a stranger, not here in front of Joel, not for the cameras. So she tucked it away in her chest for later.
"This is, uh, Joel," She said, flashing a look back at him and looking as cornered as Venus did but for much different reasons. "He's uh..." She faltered, there, trying to explain what Joel meant to her was a whole other can of worms. So she didn't bother. "... yeah. He took care of me back home, and I owe him a lot, so. It'd be great if we keep maybe not stab each other."
