[Cassandra can see, feel that Laura is putting herself on hold a bit to help ease her back out of the spiral she had started to fall into, and she can't tell if that was genuinely beneficial to her or not. this is what she does--the gods are here to inspire, after all--but even if it was Persephone's power, she wasn't engaging with her as a god and a follower might. so much about this was coming from a place of more human connection, so she can't help a spark of guilt, like she's taking advantage in a way.
but maybe more importantly, when Laura says that, Cassandra's eyes widen slightly. she had, of course, realized that Laura liked girls just from how Laura tended to look at her half the time, but--no, no, that wasn't the issue.
something about the implication behind the statement, the way it's directed, gives her pause. as if it was addressing Cass's perceptions of Steph. she feels it it hitting at something she had thought in the back of her mind before, but never tried to process or find words for. sorry, Psephs, don't mind THE BATMAN just having a slight baby gay crisis in her own head for a second, looking... alternately alarmed and contemplative?]
I, um--yeah. I guess she... is. [Cass allows that, brows knitting somewhat, even as her mind is racing again. not in a pained or upset direction, necessarily, at least not more than she was before Laura said that.]
