The golden-furred beauty wasn't used to such a thing as manners. The tone and how he spoke his words silently confused her. She was used to the icy, bitter words that came from her husband's alter personality, piercing her confidence and defenses like icicle daggers. The way she had to defend herself - from when she was a babe to now - was all that she knew, and it was surprising how she thought of all of these things from just the way he spoke to her. Distrust still shined in her eyes as she mentally analyzed his words, searching for their hidden meaning. It was all a game to her, usually. Nothing was as it seemed and she had remained on the tips of her toes for so long, avoiding any kind of potential relationship aside from her lost husband...She pushed the thoughts of Dragomir from her mind. Why let his memory haunt her mind when it was doing nothing but torture her abused mind? It was because she was so used to it. The strong-willed female wanted to shake her head, run off to curl into a golden ball and just be left alone. Anything that made her think about Rotterdam and his forked tongue from the past caused her to mentally want to hide from the world. Alone with her thoughts, that was how it had been for a long while. Instead, she pushed herself through those memories and didn't break her stony gaze with the blue bruj in front of her. He admitted that he was the King of these lands. These lands were Tortuga territory... Tortuga.. the pack that the purple goddess had intended on ruling a few weeks ago. Maija vividly remembered briefly meeting her and a phantom of a smile wanted to appear across her face. She didn't allow her muscles to do such a thing, however. Instead, she nodded once to Taurig, tail then ticking to her left side out of habit. "If I had known that these woods were once again claimed, I wouldn't have stayed," she said, tones not as icy as they had been before. A hint of distrust still stuck to her words, but when you have grown up knowing nothing but that, what else could you go by? She thought that maybe he was still curious as to why she had decided to live around these parts. After all, if he wasn't, he wouldn't have even said anything to her about it. The reasoning for him being so curious was legit, and since he was of a higher position in life than her, she decided it wouldn't hurt to let him know why she was still around. "The forest here is so secluded, so quiet...it made sense to call it my home, however temporary..." Maija didn't want to leave, especially since she had gotten used to the territory that spread from where she had claimed her sleeping spot. She wasn't sure if he should know about her resistance to the idea of going, but a tiny bit of her told her to let it slip. Just a tad. Maija wondered if he had noticed the meaning in her own words. It was his turn to analyze what they meant. speech here |
