"If I have a mark, I haven't found it." There's nothing for her to lose in admitting as much.
All she sports as a mark of anything are her dragon scales over her left wrist where her tiger bone used to be. Granted, Zoya hasn't particularly checked herself over. Even when she'd been naked in the woods, she'd spotted nothing out of the ordinary on her person. No mark on her face, chest, arms or legs.
There's no mark on Alina that she can see. Zoya wonders if she'd even tell her the location of hers if she was to ask.
"So all of that's true then." A part of her had been hoping it was all some story to spook children into behaving. What's scarier than not knowing who's truly a monster? But any uncertainty she feels about it, she shoves behind steel. She'll ransack Juris' memories later. "We're finally the monsters in the stories."
