but you mustn't

She was quick to shake her head and deny Siren's insistence that her ideas were better than what she could have come up with, replying, "Oh, no, I'm sure that's not true. You're brilliant, my lady. I'm glad you like my ideas though." She was always so dazzled by the lessons that Siren taught her about healing and was constantly amazed by anything she was taught. All she had ever known before this was hunting and fighting and at least in her mind she had always associated those things with the lower class because of how she grew up. There was still plenty of value in those skills as well of course, but her princess was on a special pedestal in her mind because of the knowledge she had. All of the healers had always come from the royalty of her homeland and so it was only fitting that Siren would be a healer as well. She watched and waited as Siren came to inspect the outline she had traced, seeing the pale woman climb and reach toward the top the way she had to trace the top line. "Of course," came her immediate response when she mentioned having her there to reach the upper most shelves, smiling up at Siren. "Don't worry, I'll always fetch anything you need." At least in her mind there was no question of whether or not she would be there to assist her - this is what she saw herself doing for the rest of her days, or at the very least as long as Siren wished to have her around. She could be happy being the servant for her lady till the end of time. "I'll do the digging," she said now that the shape of their alcove had been decided. She knew Siren had said she could get her paws dirty, but the more work she took off of the pretty woman's plate the happier Dalila would be. "Maybe, if you don't mind, you can get the dirt collected into the bucket as it falls for me to carry outside?" With that she climbed up and started digging away, working her way from the top down, taking away thin layers at a time and steadily making the indent into the wall deeper. For a while she worked quietly, digging and carrying out the bucket to empty it whenever it got full. Eventually she decided to try and strike up some conversation. She still didn't know a lot about Siren or Chimera or what had gotten them both to this point. Though she was taught that there should be a line between who she serves and herself, that didn't stop her from being curious about the pair. "Do you mind if I ask you something?" she questioned, giving Lady Siren a quick glance before looking back to her work. "Has Master Chimera always been so... gruff?" |
