A second grimace tugged at her maw when Raijin spoke of the machinations of the nobles in his land. Selling their children off for money and power? It was a pretty disgusting thought, but one that she could understand. However... "It's a good thing that I was born here rather than there. I have a tendency to do what I want rather than what others want of me." Forced to give herself to some old man just so the Armada could forge ties? She'd end up killing him, no doubt. Oops. Raijin spoke of Hanako and Asla huffed softly through her nose. "You aren't missing much. Unfortunately she has my brother right under her paw. It's a pretty disgusting sight, but if he's happy..." The young woman gestured with one grey and white paw and shook her head. She would never understand why Azure had allowed himself to become so weak when it came to Hanako. It was one major fault in her sibling. One that she had a hard time ignoring. Though she imagined he tried to hide it, Aslatiel was incredibly observant of others. She could tell simply by the way that his spotted body stilled that Raijin hadn't been expecting to be questioned in turn. She wouldn't rescind that questioning, she would simply wait until he figured out what to tell her. Once he began to speak, Grey ears swiveled to catch his every word. The brute spoke of his scarred face and Asla looked upon the proud, story telling wounds. "You aren't ashamed of those, are you?" She thought they were rather dashing and had always felt a draw towards rugged looking men. Shifting, Asla showed him a set of heavy scars that sliced through the fur and flesh on her left shoulder. "Scars are stories. Situations where we've persevered and triumphed." Every battle where you didn't die was triumph. One brow lifted as she questioned him again. "Did you kill the one that gave you those scars?" She was genuinely curious. He ended his story by saying that his presence here had all been by chance. Funny how things worked out. Of course he wouldn't have told her everything, but they'd just met so that was understandable. She hadn't told him everything either. Just the things that he could discover on his own with a little bit of conversation to various members of the packs that he had access to. Asla gave a little stretch, kitten claws extending to wrap over the edge of the platform before retracting again. "Well I'm glad to have someone a little less boring around. The wolves of Ashen and the Armada can get so stuffy." "Speech" |
