"No... I wasn't..." she fought the urge to step back. The stronger urge to run. She wouldn't run. She wouldn't. She had to show people that she was strong. Because this could be like any of the weird happenings that weren't real. For all she knew she was being watched.
Had already exposed too much.
If only she was back in the Kingdoms she could just go and fight the darkness until whatever this was ended, or hide out in the stables.

Trust him? If he was real, then yes. Sh couldn't imagine any version of Ben that couldn't be trusted. He couldn't be bad if he wanted to be. Which was why they could never work. Because she tried to be good, tried so hard to be good. And always failed.
"I'm not even sure you're real," she finally managed. Because while saying she didn't trust him, or staying silent was smarter... Even if he was fake she couldn't bear to hurt him that badly.
