Flagrantly disregarding his position, she flaunted the fact that she was (at least as far as she knew) a free woman. Unlike the slaves, she could keep what she wished as secret. Unlike the family, unlike those ranked below her, she was offered more and she used it. But using her fae-creature powers in the current moment proved a poor choice. As she tossed her secrecy back in his face, the embers that had started to burn within the angry King flared into furious flames. His voice rose. His jaws snapped with his words, sending saliva flying. Again, she was tugged closer, like some little doll. Usually passive, apathetic eyes grew wide as he spat out facts that she had managed to overlook. When had she become property?
At the movement of his hand, raising as if to slap her, she cringed away and grew small in his arms, fearing a gesture of punishment that never came. Instead, he repeated his questions. The warmth of his breath elicted an uncomfortable shudder from the fearful coyote, who remained small with eyes closed in the hopes she would not be shown physical retribution for her insolence. He wahs no one. No one importahnt, no one Aye will see again. It was true enough, for she'd be far more careful now than she had been, what with this argument fresh in her mind. Her legs began to tremble as she tried to find the words to soothe the beast that her King had transformed into. He wahnted something, Aye gave it to him. It was not something we needed. It was something Aye brought. Aye ahm sorry...aye ahm sorry. Her voice faded in pleading as her weight sank into the arms of the leader.
