SAME HERE, brosephalususkisuski. SO done, haha.
The mottled woman seemed displeased with this development. Tlantli pondered whether Isabella thought she truly cared. Tlantli did not mind what Isabella took, and if the flaxen coyote knew her companion's true intent, she might have offered to loot the entirety of the storeroom with her. Tla had no idea of this pied canine's true character, however -- to verbalize such thoughts to the wrong Salsolian would be a costly mistake. The yellow-furred coyote returned Isabella's shrug with one of her own, figuring the subject of the pelt was through. There was the faintest smile accompanying Tlantli's movement, however, and the tawny coyote's razor-sharp teeth glinted aginst the darkness of her lips.
The subject of her absence -- at least, her spiritual absence -- was far more interesting to Tlantli. This subject was more dangerous, as well -- the honey-furred coyote knew this well, and she knew she must be careful with her wording. Isabella's brow wrinkled, and Tlantli listened to her speak, the tingle of apprehension she felt at their current topic slowly disappearing as the brown and white canine continued. Isabella seemed to understand Tlantli's plight, though the honey-furred canine was well-versed enough in the ways of Salsola to avoid taking her companion's words at their absolute face value. None in Salsola were above deception and lies, after all.
I'm glad you agree. Why should the mind be of perfect health forever? It is not always so with the body. Tlantli smiled, albeit more uncertainly. Thank you, she added. Some pretend they are above weakness -- I think they mistake their false appearances for the truth.
Tlantli is by Kitty!
