Scratch that 'barely.' She listed to one side for a second, before compensating the other way.
Only then did she actually get a look at the stranger. Sloppy. Artemis would have been furious at her for letting her guard down. But Artemis wasn't here. Anyway, did it matter if you got jumped when you were already dead? Well, she had been waiting for hell to get a little more hellish...
Right! The guy. He seemed...not dead. Cute, in a tattoo-y way. And he was offering concern. Diana forced herself to swallow hard. She was surprised by the effort it took to talk. Except for the fact that she hadn't really been able to say much of anything for months. "I..." Another swallow. "I don't know where I'm going," she admitted. American accent. One that was aggressively West Coast, even if she wasn't playing the role of Valley Girl at the moment.
