Unfortunately, the young Slayer's train of thought was derailed with a simplistic, "No." For she was not that insightful. Just happened to know when another of a high status had been sniffing around, proverbially or literally. Knew the what of it, not the who. "The stain has always been there... But some now how to wake it. Nurture it."
The proposition, however, caught Sabra's attention. Camping... If Valerie had a fraction of the idea of Sabra's true form, the mental image of sharing a campfire with it, like a school outing, would have been equal parts startling and amusing. Mostly the former, though. There was a reason she was not yet used to moving around in a human vehicle.
So, true to form, Sabra gave her answer in the most direct, forthright way: And stuffed Valerie's mouth with the uneaten remnants of what she had been passed. Telling her to shut up or just trying to make a point? Or was it more to do with experimentation? The way in which she attempted to get Valerie to chew, like a puppet, suggested it might have been.
"You already hunt. Their skulls turn to ashes... Nothing to take. Your victories are fleeting."
