The silence she got in response to her plea pulled a small, but frustrated frown onto her lips. She could tell that doing such a thing was just in Resin's nature and it didn't matter what she said, the warrior would do whatever she had to in order to protect someone. Tamsyn couldn't put into words what seeing Resin hurt did to her heart without sounding like she had completely lost it so she let the silence linger instead of trying to insist upon her request again. There was no changing what had already been done and now she just had to be grateful that Resin was still here and hope that this never happened again... She couldn't decide if she would have felt any better about this if someone had told her about it instead of having the shock of seeing Resin like this at the meeting with no inkling that anything had happened. There was no reason for anyone to tell her such a thing, but being in the dark about it all certainly didn't help. She nodded quietly when Resin mentioned that Iolaire would be back to check on her. At least her daughter was here to make sure her injuries were cared for... That eased Tamsyn's worries about her current state, but it didn't help her concerns about what could happen in the future. "I know you do," she replied when she heard how much the fighter hated being like this. She could have guessed that from a mile away even if she hadn't known her as well as she did. It was clear across all her expressions how much this hurt - physically and emotionally. Tamsyn sighed softly and put her own worries to the back of her mind, trying to think of how she could possibly make Resin feel a little better. Talking about herself felt so ridiculous, but when Resin asked how she had been doing she did it anyway, hoping it would at least be a little bit of a distraction. "I've been okay," she replied, ignoring the sleepless night she had before this. "I've been practicing my fighting," she added, a small smile touching her muzzle. "Sirius taught me a little bit right after the last time I saw you and I've been practicing a lot since then. I was... Well, I wanted to surprise you and show you all the stuff I've learned." She glanced away bashfully with a little smile, her ears flicking back against her skull. She felt like a pup coming to show someone something new they had learned, but in a way she was. She was learning all of the basic things that most pups learned from their parents and was slowly beginning to catch up with the rest of the world. "Whenever you're all better maybe we can spar! I know you'll be way better than me, of course, but Sirius seemed pretty impressed so I think I'm doing okay for a beginner." |
