The moment seemed to soften as the male lowered his tail to the ground, brushing the light cedar colored dirt. A smile lingered at the edges of his mouth and again, something like guilt, stirred in the female’s stomach. She wasn’t sure what the feeling was. Was she so desperate that she was finding the male more than acceptable? But the thought was discarded so furiously the girl had to hold back a grunt full of foolishness. Ever had fallen under another’s spell.
So what could it be? She shook the question off easily and listened to the intruder’s response. Her claws stopped clicking on the pebbles. A safe answer was just what she needed. Sitting down in an low exasperated huff, the girl stared the boy in the eye. His emerald irises seemed to hold questions neither could answer.
Now introduced as Overo, the girl couldn’t help smile back, revealing white sharp teeth. But the smile dropped into a more polite, reformed ‘response’.
“I am Ever Mayawyn, Lady of Cour des Miracles, adopted daughter of King Vigilante Haskel.”
The words were familiar, alike the feeling Overo gave her, but still sounded nice on her tongue.
