but you mustn't

Dalila continued her work absently while Siren replied to her question, occasionally glancing at her princess between scooping away pawfuls of dirt from the wall. She wasn't really surprised when Siren confirmed that Chimera had always been "gruff" which was the only word she could think of to describe his demeanor that was at least slightly positive or kind. She hadn't wanted to offend the smaller woman with talking about her brother in a harsher way, but Siren soon assured her she was welcome to speak freely. She cast Siren a curious glance when she acknowledged that Chimera was more than how Dalila had just described him, but she didn't question it or ask for her to elaborate. At least for as long as she had been around Chimera had seemed to only care for Siren so she quickly chalked it up to her lady just being aware of her brother's actions. As she dug away more dirt from the quickly forming alcove she wore a thoughtful expression as she considered what she could even say. "He's... not the worst I've lived with," she replied honestly. Perhaps she still didn't know the full extent of how bad he could be and her assessment could very well change given more time with him, but for now she still felt he paled in comparison to some of the power hungry guards from her previous life. At best they were degrading and didn't care about the slaves like herself and at worst they were out right cruel and abusive to them. "At least there's only one of him to work around," she added after a moment with a soft chuckle. For the most part Chimera had left her alone as long as she followed his commands and stayed out of his way so she couldn't complain about him too much. As she came back down onto all fours again and paused short of picking up their refilled bucket, she continued with a small shrug. "I guess I was just wondering... For you to both come from the same litter, assuringly with the same upbringing, you both just seem so... different." How could someone like Chimera and someone like Siren both be cut from the same cloth? |
