Conquer the stars

"Hah!" the laugh ripped from her throat so suddenly it was a surprise even to her. A bit loud as well, leaving her feel oddly awkward but she shook it off quickly and she wondered if her first true, genuine smile that lacked any hidden intent or irritation would be heard in her words as she replied, "I'm afraid you have me pegged all too well, there." Normally she never engaged with anyone for long enough to hear them speak such words to her aloud. That or no one ever had thought to call her out on her ways before. For some reason she found it rather funny to have someone say it out loud. The kid wasn't wrong, Mara was quite fond of leaving others feeling just as pissed as she did ever day. Definitely not a desirable quality to most, which was sort of the point. Her politeness had lived a brief life before she ended it and just decided to be as abrasive as possible. The tactic had worked pretty well so far; she thrived on keeping others at a distance.

She shuffled a bit in place, growing bored with the talk though her mood was improving a bit - couldn't say the same for the poor girl here, but Mara didn't mind that too much. After a bit of silence, the dark woman turned to walk deeper into the cave, walking a wide arc around the younger girl while proclaiming, "It's been great, but I'm gunna go take a 'look' around now." Their conversation dismissed entirely, she brushed it off and went on her way as though the whole discussion was quite done with now. Using one wall to feel her way forward Mara walked, not giving the girl another thought.
