She didn't bother to correct on her name, Mary was acceptable enough anyway since it sounded a lot like her real name. She wasn't sure how to handle the hand on her shoulder, the compassion that came from the other woman after all the animosity that had led them to this point in time. Magnus deserved to be punished and having Anne on her side would help make that happen. She did sit down, she did rest. She really was tired and looked as if she had lived more than enough life for her lifetime. She might be lovely, but her eyes spoke of being older than she was at this point. Living a life of regret had done that to her and she wanted to make sure Pearl didn't have to live regretfully because of her parentage. She bit her lip and looked Anne in the eye, not crying but kind of letting her see she was truly remorseful for that part of their lives. She had never wanted this hell, nor the loss of the years with her daughter. She wished she had fought sooner, to be honest. "I don't want Pearl to know of me just yet, not as her mother. But that doesn't mean I won't facilitate Magnus' downfall." She paused for a moment, "I hope the sum I gave you is sufficient to facilitate as well." It was four times the amount that Magnus had dropped all those years ago. "It will not make up for the past, but it surely will go a long way to making some things right."
