Hurting for a Smile

The discomfort on Tamsyn's face was evident, but not saying anything was the best that Resin could do for her. If a predator entered the den right now and threatened the ebony woman's life, the maned fae would do her best to negate that threat. Injury or no. Loved ones or no. She would put herself in harms path to protect those that she held dear. At her core, that was what Resin was. She was a protector. If she stopped doing that just to appease others, she wouldn't be being true to herself. If she was just going to roll over and take it, she might as well have let the bear kill her. Though it appeared she didn't exactly want to, the smaller wolf soon began to speak about what she'd been up to. Apparently she'd been sparring and learning from Sirius. It was good. Being so indisposed, she wouldn't be able to teach Tamsyn like she had planned. The woman grinned and said that she was looking forward to showing Resin her skills once she was better. Resin spared Tam a smile. The sliced corner of her mouth turned upward. More visibly than usual. Perhaps she was trying to give the little wolf something. She couldn't agree to her request, but she could smile for her. "I'm proud of you. I look forward to seeing and testing your skill." Some day. The ribs would heal but would be tender for a time. It was her leg that was the problem. With a heavy frame like hers, it was difficult to keep weight off of it. Hopping to spare her weight would only agitate her broken ribs. So... for a time... slow and steady was the key. Tamsyn still looked a little worried. Maybe her appearance was making the black fae uncomfortable. "Don't feel obligated to stay. If seeing my injuries makes you uncomfortable, I won't be offended if you leave." Open and honest, she laid it out for Tam. Go or stay, she wouldn't judge her for it. Did she want her to stay? Well... initially, no. Now that she was here and they were talking... now that she could see the various emotions flit across Tamsyn's face while she spoke; the subtle changes in expression as her words changed... Yes, she wanted her to stay. She wanted her to stay very much. |
