[she's careful to stay still, to entirely take in what is happening before her. big win for the resistance to take her phone out and record it. it takes her a moment to parse what's happening, even when the orb hovers before her, even when macaddam speaks his true name and ability.
there is almost no hesitation when she takes the orb, not looking for power but rather perspective and wanting to be able to understand and help.]
I'm honoured. Enormously. [her tone is a little uncertain, but it's from not knowing if she's saying the right thing after such a serious spiel rather than being uncertain with maccadam. mikaela belatedly wonders if he had seen that she would take it gladly.
if only she could see the future when she'd worked retail.] I promise I'll do what I can to fill your role while you're gone.
[after a little pause, she realises she should probably bow back, and does. little stiffly, but with no less meaning.]
