* BerserkButton: G'iah presses Varra's when she questions about her not living her life in her Skrull skin. Varra, who had been nothing but kind and maternal to this point, quickly grows agitated and G'iah stumbles, realizing she crossed a line. Even when she apologizes, Varra coldly retorts that she knows she isn't really sorry and jabs at her for being young and overconfident. Varra moves the conversation on, but it's a noticeable loss of temper from her.
