silver lillies on a iron pool

Quote:Perhaps Argent?s greatest ability was her ability to listen, and so she would do so for this cat. She took the rejection of her offer well enough; she knew not how Isardis would react to having a Snow Leopard on his doorstep, and she may have overreached her boundaries in making that offer. She would not realize the true meaning of the woman?s solution, nor did she bother to ask. It simply felt too nosy and intrusive to ask a stranger what they did in their everyday life.
Her question made Argent sigh. Often her brash words and her tendency to be harsh and stern made others thing she was heartless, which was most certainly not the case. ?I care too damn much,?she said simply, and that was her crime. Maybe she had to pick and choose what she cared about; for instance, she would devote herself to Glaciem, and never bat an eye at Seracia. But always, always she would have the underlying ability to care about just about anything, even if it were a vile enemy.
