Elizabeth shook her head. Honestly, recounting what had happened wasn't exactly something she enjoyed, either, but she knew she had made a promise. He seemed intent to keep hers, so she would reply in kind.
"What Booker could do isn't something he was born with, it's manufactured where I came from which is...a whole other subject I'll get to, I promise. But you ingest the Vigor, you get the ability. It's - it's a liquid, a drink, each one giving you something else. The crows, lightning, fire - there were a few," she explained. It was complicated to go into, so she thought that was all she really needed to say about the topic. For now, anyway. "They were coming after me. Booker was only involved because he was with me. I spent most of my life locked away from...everything. Everyone. He was the one who got me out, set me free. The ones who kept me weren't happy."
It hadn't been for noble reasons at first that brought Booker to her, but she had long since forgiven him for the fact he hadn't been upfront about it being a job to break her out. He had long since lost his obligation to help her, and yet he was still there, no matter how infuriating he could be sometimes.
