The question somewhat caught Kanaya by surprise. There weren't a lot of people left around who made a priority about paying attention to Kanaya's feelings and knowing when they fluctuated, whether by design, because of their species, or some other separation. In fact, it wouldn't be a huge stretch to say that Nepeta was the only one in Exsilium. She had increasingly close friends among the transports, but still presented a mask to them.

"Uh..." This perhaps was also the main reason Kanaya did not exactly go out of her way to hang around the other trolls in person. Repairing the damage her feelings about reproduction had done to her reputation was hard enough without juggling a now-unsatisfiable bloodlust. And if the wrong pair of ocular globes set sight on the wrong set of puncture marks? She'd be socially done for.

"I guess I am if you put it that way, but this 'stress'..." She lingered uncomfortably, not liking to face just how unhappy her day to day existence was in some ways. "It's pretty normal for me."
