Redemption Lies Plainly in Truth

The red brute grinned at her apology, like it was amusing or unexpected. Well, she didn’t do it often so it was going to be a rare occurrence- he’d do well to appreciate them more. She mirrored his grin back at him, a mirthful glint in her eyes. “You know it’s actually more comforting to be around dark souls like yourselves, than the freaks that claim goodwill for all. ” The notion that her encounter with Talyssa introduced to her, that those alien ways of thinking were plentiful enough to create an entire pack?

She could work with the folks that remained neutral but there was something about altruism that made her much more disturbed than any vile act. “But yes, Sephiran is the definition of the word ’intense’. I’ve had to use some tactics I learned growing up to manage.” Absinth sighed almost playfully, almost. “You helped. Credit where credit is due.” Of course his help was like a breeze on the wind, but it had been of use. She would not have narrowed down how she should have behaved so quickly, and may have triggered Sephiran’s anger testing the waters in the process.

I’m sure I’ll be graced with the knowledge in time, or will you teach your ward the basics?” She rolled her eyes at the word, ears flicking in annoyance. Absinth had no thoughts of running off into the night or doing away with herself. She had committed to this venture and there was no way in hell she was going to cross another fucking ocean. She wanted to be here. She needed it. That much should have been obvious.
