Isabella gave a lighthearted laugh as she leaned back against the cool stones of her ruin. It was a light chill that penetrated her back, fur as thick as hers allowed little in. "I'm made for snow and wind, but rain just makes everything so.. heavy," she said with a flourish of her hands. Water slipped through her pelt, touching the skin underneath. If it was warm, there was little issue but she hated cold anything; whenever she actually felt cold she recoiled instantly. Isabella was a creature of the sun, of fire. Just because she lingered in the shadows did not mean she did not pay homage to the sun, for without it, there would be no shadows to hide the truth in.
The gypsy woman nodded, despite the other woman's hesitation of offering the assistance. Truth be told, she doubted that Kaoru would take a turn for the worst. He was young, healthy, and he was strong enough to fight. She would have to check his bandages though; he could hardly be trusted with that and he was her valuable property. No use killing him with negligence. "I'm sure we'll be alright, but never hurts to have a safety net."
The slave furrowed his brows at the woman calling him a fool, and almost leaned forward but saw the murderous look on the gypsy woman's face. 俺は馬鹿ではないです..," he said softly, looking away. He knew it was a playful insult but he still didn't like it; perhaps it was just his nature or his upbringing. Meanwhile, Isabella watched the exchange, thoroughly amused at the woman's handling of the slave. She seemed almost used to them. "How do you know of Japan, mademoiselle?" she asked, drawing the attention from the injured Akita to herself.
