Chase glanced at Jack, and her eyebrows shot into her hair. "Dangling first years?" She said a bit skeptically. She didn't know exactly what to say or do, but when Jack pointed at her stomach and asked if she deflated, Chase stared at Jack as though she had gone insane. Obviously Jack had never actually said the word baby before, and wasn't quite sure what to call it now that she was talking about one. "Yes... Katherine was born..." She said lightly, standing awkwardly as she looked around the owlery. "I had her a few weeks back... happy and bouncy... healthy..." She said lightly, her face showing no trace of a smile.
"I lived with Elijah for a few weeks, then decided I should come back here.." She said, purposely not mentioning that her and Elijah were no longer together, and she was being taken in by the most childish, but purely innocent men on the face of the earth, a boy by the name of Calvin S. Ransom, who, with his roommate, was letting her and her kids, which also included Elijah's adopted kids, Fauve and Thierry, to stay with them.
Chase left all of this out on purpose, and went over to the bird Jack had flipped off, petting it lightly on the back, hearing it hoot a soft thanks, as it nuzzled her fingers. "Do you come here regularly to flip off the birds?" She asked and looked at Jack's bleeding finger. "I can heal that if you want me too.." She said softly, her eyes resting on the bleeding finger. It was odd for Chase, to stand here, and not having smiled, or even had the urge to smile once. It felt as though the room was black, and even though funny things were happening, she just couldn't bring herself to move those simple muscles in her face.
