There was a smile from the alpha, but Cy's eyes narrowed. Her hackles crept up around her back, her shoulders, making her look a bit larger than she already did. "God forbid I'm trying to sort out this fucking desert, and all the weird shit that came with it." She wouldn't back down, even if she was in the wrong. Cyanide would continue to exist in a state of self-imposed bitterness, at least for now. There was the flash of stark teeth under her dark lips. It's as much menacing as the wraith can muster, mostly because when Celeste has something nice to say... she falters. Confusion first, which the wraith quickly masks. Effort, a notion that Cyanide scoffs at. Okay, so she'd been scouting primarily as a means of running from her problems. But there was also the idea that she was getting more information for the pack, and trying to sort out the cause of the weird weather. The wraith suppressed the urge to protest, to say it wasn't about Kuroki, but that wouldn't be entirely true. The distance, along with her own bitterness, had been self-imposed. Where there had been sass, bordering on venom, it was replaced with some kind of sincerity. Cyanide would hold her tongue, for now. A rather rare occurrence, Cy isn't quite sure what to say or how to react. She bites her tongue for a moment before speaking, considering for a long moment. Celeste bringing her here, starting something new, including her... it had been a gesture, one given in good faith. The wraith considered for a beat, then spoke. "We're better off together than... not, together, I guess." Eloquent? No, but was she ever? Her head tossed, gaze flickering to their lengthening shadows and then back to Celeste. "You really don't care?" If she didn't, then maybe Cy could not care, too. cyanide he said to be cool but i'm already coolest |
