Vesper is by Sie!
She smiled to see her Aquila -- and her obvious excitement to see Vesper, too. Myri was different from the other girls in that she found herself desiring comfort and attention from her, rather than selflessly and nobly giving it like she had with Juniper and Blind. It forced her to take her pride down a few notches, to crave affection as much as she gave, but she was glad for it. Equality made this seem all more real.
Her smile disappeared quite quickly when the mahogany-haired woman winced and grabbed at her shoulder. Even though her correction didn't seem bitter or pained, Vesper couldn't keep but growing protective and concerned. She ignored her question, her ear tilting forward and a frown contorting the scars on her muzzle. What's the matter? she asked quickly, not quite grasping how normal this should be. After all, many a coyote walked around Inferni sore from constant sparring and other work -- but she wasn't used to seeing Myrika this way, Aquila or not. That, and her run-in the previous night had fixed her on the danger setting; she could only assume the worst.
Vesper lightened up at the invitation and the lack of obvious injuries, and she picked her way down the rocky beach before sitting beside Myrika. She wriggled a bit on the bumpy ground, trying to get comfortable, and chuckled as she realized she probably looked ridiculous. In the end, she gave up and lay back with a huff, staring at the sunny sky. Should I be enjoying them yet? she asked, but a hand reached out toward Myrika's to hold it and let her know she was at least enjoying the company. The other toyed with the rosary around her neck, inadvertently drawing attention to the rumpled fur there.
