Thick skin and an elastic heart

Baine wasn't sure how to take his reaction to her words at first. The way he looked out over the ocean made her think she had said too much and he was growing bored of her, but then he readily answered her question and even seemed to give her a bit of advice toward the end. The way he spoke of his siblings reminded her a lot of her own thoughts around her family. She hadn't seen Tornach in so long that in the rare moments when they did cross paths she didn't really know what to expect from him. A lot of her family had scattered over time and what siblings still lived in Celestial with her she really didn't interact with that much. It was strange how wolves that she considered family could seem like such strangers. She often realized how self deprecating she was... but it was mostly because she wanted so much from herself and she didn't know how to get to that point. She was so ambitious, but lacked the motivation - or maybe the resources - to get there. She settled onto her haunches, sitting neatly with her tail wrapped around her as she always did, as he spoke. His words made her grow thoughtful and for once she actually paused before she replied. "I know I have... I just hope it's a change for the better," she finally said in response. "When I was a kid I felt so different so I tried to be extra nice and sweet so everyone would like me... but now I feel like no one takes me seriously." She frowned again, her ears flicking back. "Now I'm just trying to be myself and they either think something is wrong or I feel ignored." Why was she telling him all of this? She gave her head a small shake and stood again. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be bothering you with all of this. It's not like it's anything that can be fixed." |
