all a matter of perspective

~*~ He didn't shrink away from her touch, but he didn't like it either, sending another thrill of excitement down her spine. She hadn't realized just how fun it could be to enforce her will upon another creature. And this was was being good enough about the whole thing. He voice his own choice between the two options given, and Silverback's whiskers bowed forward with approval, but then came that snide little remark slid in there. She had let it pass, but the remark he made about her last statement was unacceptable. "Don't get smart," she murmured, showing just a hint of fang. She should be grateful for the warning, she didn't have to give one. She could've begun the whole 'feeling the claws' thing right then and there. But she was giving him a chance. Perhaps it had been a thoughtless remark to try to lighten his own mood. Well if, she decided that he had better learn quickly that this was no longer about him and what he wanted. His life was for her. But there was another level to it as well. She wanted company because she wanted someone to talk to. She wanted pair of ears to listen and listen well to whatever it was she had to say - whether it was of a dream she had or a goat she had killed, or -as was more likely- the burden she kept in her heart. She was too proud a creature to pour out her feelings to someone who was not respectful of them, and if he was going to make fun of her, then what was the point of keeping him alive? "Very well," she said with just a touch of injured dignity, "If you won't listen respectfully to me, then why don't you start." She took a step back, not so much as to make him feel more comfortable, but so that she was. She lowered herself down - not into a full out lay, but into a crouch that she could spring from at any moment. Her elongated tail, wrapped about her paws like a Persian scarf. Her ears trained forward as she looked him over with a critical eye. Whatever else she was, she was also vaguely interested. "I warn you, however," she added as an after thought to avoid unpleasantness, "Don't start weaving it into some sob story, now; I don't wish to be bored." |
