Flexing her right hand where scar tissue made her fingers hard to stretch Marishka titled her head to the side as the other woman spoke, apologizing and denying what she had said before all in the same breath. Marishka only shrugged, unsure on how to reply and not really seeing why she should accept an apology when she wasn't all that offended. “I’m sure just a few bruises, a mark to tell me never to climb a stupid tree again.” Marishka smirked at what the still unnamed woman said, nodding in silent agreement.
Climbing trees was for pups but even more so for trying to escape things. Marishka had hidden in a tree once before but she had not fallen, falling would have meant capture for her. It would have meant death. She still had been a pup then though but she would still risk the long drop from the thick boughs of a tree if it meant survival. It didn't seem like this other hybrid meant to survive anything.
Finally the other woman introduced herself and at a loss on how to really act in front of anything that didn't have something swinging between their legs Marishka attempted a small smile and said in turn, “Marishka”--and since she wasn't sure quite yet if it was a pleasure to meet this other girl or not she supplied--“from Russia on zee wood of a great ship.”
A brief silence overtook her as she waited awkwardly, unsure on what to do or say. She hated this feeling, not knowing what to do, it made her feel incompetent. She had known what to do when she had laid next to the man who imprisoned her as a child, knew what to do to escape that life, knew what to do when it came to getting what she needed--especially from men--but now she was at a loss at what to do and it was just a simple conversation.
“You are from near here?” Mar asked hastily, not wanting to seem too rude or uninterested, she had made a goal for herself to socialize more and she wasn't about to quit that goal now.
