Quote #1

The girls in the cellblock stay silent. They don't do much talkin to each other an sure as hell they don't talk to me. (6.183)

Saba never had friends growing up outside of Lugh, so she's not exactly the most sociable person in the world. And that goes double when she's a cage fighter. Not exactly the best time to meet a BFF.

Quote #2

The Angel of Death don't talk to nobody. That's how I like it. [...] I'll hafta be careful about how I do this. (6.268)

The entrance of the Free Hawks changes everything. For the first time ever, Saba is forced to rely on and trust a stranger for something so important. She's not a big fan, as you might imagine.

Quote #3

I'm fine with everythin up to the point where the Hawks smuggle me through the gauntlet. After that, I got other plans fer me an Em. (6.315)

Of course, the truth is that Saba has no plans to be a true friend to the Hawks. Instead, she just wants to manipulate them and use them for her own ends. That's pretty rude, especially because those girls are putting their lives at risk to save her. Whatever happened to paying it forward?
