She sat still and quiet while Siren began to clean her wound, her blue gaze fixed on the ground beside her. Part of her silently hoped that her slip of the tongue would go unnoticed and that Siren wouldn't ask, but another part of her really hoped that Siren would bring it up. She'd never come out and say it herself unless her lady did and that part of her that didn't want to cause a stir, just wanted to keep her head low and do her work, was content with just keeping that secret all the way to the grave. As long as she got to stay with Siren she could be content. But the smaller woman beside her didn't ignore the words that had started to slip out of her mouth. Instead she questioned what had happened, giving her the opening that she needed to admit what happened and find comfort in the only wolf she had ever considered a friend needed. Dalila didn't answer right away, her ears flicking back against her head nervously. She didn't want to be the reason for some kind of issue between Chimera and Siren, but maybe even more than that she was afraid that Siren would take her brother's side and insist that it was part of her duties as his slave. If that was the case she'd bear it, but it wasn't what she wanted. She fidgeted nervously until doing so make her foreleg hurt more and she winced, forcing herself to stop. "Chimera... He... He forced himself on me," she muttered softly, hurt and shame on her face. "He said it was part of my duties and I... I was afraid he'd take me away from you if I didn't let him so..." Dalila glanced up at Siren then her eyes pleading and apologetic. "I-I'm sorry, I should have told you, I just... I didn't want to get in more trouble. If... If that's really what I should be doing for him then... Then I will, just..." Just let me stay with you. They were unspoken words, but she hoped that Siren would understand. She whined softly and looked back at the ground, mentally preparing herself for the worst. |
