Take Shelter

Delaeni agreed with her, captivated by the scenery and the unfamiliarity of it all. And yet, Azoula wasn’t entirely satisfied by her answer. Wanting the girl to fawn over her, more than anyone and anything else in the world. “Not as beautiful as your… friend?”She almost said master. Gravitating towards her, Azoula pressed their sides together. Her head bumped into Delaeni’s shoulder, as she commanded adoration in her manipulative fashion.

At the mention of finding them a shelter, Azoula flashes the girl a sly smirk. “Good girl.” Was the only thing she said, as she waited for the Sidi to run off into the jungle. Azoula already knew they would have to build something; finding a cave on this island was unlikely. And so, she would let her search around for a while. Wanting her to spin circles, looking for a shelter suitable for Azoula to rest her tired head. She would even dismiss all of her suggestions… only to make her work harder for her approval. “Oh no, these won’t do.” Portraying disappointment, wanting to stir up Laney’s emotions and self-doubt. She needed to push her to work harder- it was the only way she was going to survive the upcoming Saxe brood. ”Something homemade would be better, don’t you think?”  She leaned against the trunk of a tree- one with massive leaves that fanned out in all directions. Would she get the gist?
