[ Adora immediately rolls her eyes at Catra, mouthing an annoyed really? in her direction. Of course Catra isn't taking this seriously. When does she ever, except for when it comes to destroying Adora and her friends?
But then, neither is Shadow Weaver, apparently. Her expression hardens again, and she lets out a deep breath, trying to control her frustration. She won't let Shadow Weaver get the better of her. Not this time. ]
No. They really can't.
[ She's still not used to being openly defiant with Shadow Weaver, and her eyes instinctively flick to Catra for reassurance, the same way she'd have sought out Bow or Glimmer back in Bright Moon. Looking for approval that she's doing the right thing, even if she knows she is. ]
How did you find us? Is the Horde still tracking Catra? [ She doesn't mean to imply that Catra might be the problem, but... well. ] Because she's not going back. Neither of us are.
[ There's a lot more she has to say, but looking at Shadow Weaver, listening to her struggle to speak, Adora hesitates. Besides Hordak himself, Shadow Weaver is probably the last person she'd ever expect to defect from the Horde, but... what if? What if something changed after the Battle of Bright Moon, after whatever made Catra forget? What if something happened to Shadow Weaver, too? ]
... Did Hordak punish you? For Catra... I mean, us, leaving. [ She can't let slip how long it's been for her, not with Catra in the same room. She can't mention Bright Moon; has to pretend she's only been gone a day longer than Catra, not a year. ] If something happened, you need to tell us. We'll [ said with a pointed emphasis, Catra ] at least hear you out.
