Shook hands with the devil

Even though she was still not quite sure about his presence, she was happy that Sirius had allowed her to lean against his shoulder. The relief she felt was staggering and for a moment it felt like the world was spinning around her in a strange way. It wasn't quite like she was dizzy, but it seemed like somehow she was standing still and was moving more slowly than everything else around her. She watched the scarred woman and Tamsyn comfort each other and share a few affectionate kisses and it made her head tilt slightly to the side as she considered them. A small part of her interest came from the fact that she had never seen two women loving each other the way they were, but the larger part was just the tender affection of it all and the very clear attachment they shared. Affection was a foreign concept and she let herself be distracted by her fascination with it as a way to keep herself from dwelling on Osmond's fate too much.

She watched Tamsyn come over to stand in front of her again, her eyes drifting over the portions of the woman's face and chest that and gotten smeared with blood. "I'm Rhona," she repeated for Tamsyn, forcing her orange-hued eyes to refocus on Tam's eyes instead. Her eyes were more green than Osmond's had been, more mint and less blue-green. Good, at least she didn't look too much like her brother. A very slight smile pulled at her lips as she listened to Tamsyn apologize for everything that had happened and she gave a small shake of her head. It was so strange to speak with Tamsyn now after hearing the stories of her for most of her life with Tam's story being told to pups as a warning tale to keep them in line. "None of it is your fault," she insisted. She could easily place the blame on Osmond without a second thought. He was the cause of all of this pain and he had gotten what he deserved... whether it had been pleasant to watch or not.

When the question came up of whether she could stay here it made her realize that she was going to have to find a way to keep doing now that she was out from under Osmond's control. She had been so entirely focused on getting away from him and freeing herself that she hadn't thought about what would come next. She had never lived without someone taking care of her and she certainly hadn't been shown how to hunt or fight so she wasn't sure how she could live on her own... Luckily Sirius agreed that she could stay here for now and she hoped that would at least give her enough time to figure out her next move. He went on to ask for a full report of what had happened to get them here and her ears flicked. She knew that Tamsyn had given her the freedom to wait to speak for herself till she was ready to do so, but she felt like she at least needed to add some kind of context for her being here. "The man was Osmond..." she explained softly, looking up at Sirius as she finally allowed herself to shift away from his shoulder enough to sit up on her own again. "He was my mate... Not my choice - he choose me." Did they get to choose who their mates would be here? She glanced toward Tamsyn and the other woman who had actually done the killing and decided that they must have that freedom here and it was a fact she was excited to know more about once she was able to fully think straight.
