(--) Man everything about this post is lame and contrived. Maybe I will feel better about it in the morning. >__>; Also shove me if you need more to reply to, because Ves is being taciturn again.

Vesper is by Sie!

Vesper did understand the reasoning behind protecting the animals, although maybe at the level she claimed to. It was logical because they were useful, but it was even more important simply because they belonged to Inferni. They could be corralling turtles and she’d fight tooth and claw to defend them. It was her nature, but it also conflicted with a deeper, more instinctual nature; that and the fact she’d nearly given her life for the sake of an old fleabitten grey nag caused tension within her.

Myrika brushed her cheek with a thumb, asking if she was okay, and Vesper found that she could meet the other’s turquoise gaze as she nodded another lie. She was not used to others worrying about her and found it tedious, especially because it was all in the past. She was alive, relatively sore but uninjured, and she would get better. Only if she didn’t get better did she find it acceptable to be fussed over—although she had to admit that, deep down, she liked the contact and the concern, because it meant Myri cared.

But then the redheaded Aquila went on, offering her lessons, which any other time Vesper might have graciously declined. This morning, it only served to annoy her, and her good ear twitched as the Lykoi woman went back to picking at pebbles. I don’t need it, she shrugged, referring to the skills themselves although her words could just as easily meant the help.

At the last statement, the coywolf wrinkled her nose briefly. No, it’s fine, she said, a bit too curtly.
