Yara's ears twitched as she took in the interaction between Basilisk and Ignita. The small girl, with her tousled fur and sleepy eyes, seemed a far cry from the imposing figure of Basilisk. Yara's heart sank further at the name he bestowed upon her—Rabbit. It was a degrading reminder of her perceived place in this new world, a stark contrast to the pride she had once held in her own name.
Her gaze flickered over Ignita, taking in her slight frame and soft demeanor. The idea that this girl could keep her against her will was almost laughable. Yara's mind raced with possibilities. If Ignita was as gentle as she appeared, perhaps there would be opportunities to exploit, moments of weakness that Yara could use to her advantage.
The words "wedding gift" echoed in her mind, a bitter reminder of her new status. She remained silent, her eyes lowered in a show of submission, but inside, her thoughts were anything but compliant. How long would it take to learn the routines of this place, to find the gaps in their vigilance? The challenge was laid out before her, and she felt a strange, defiant thrill at the thought of escaping under their noses.
She shifted the weight of the bag on her shoulders, feeling the burden of her new responsibilities. The idea of being called Rabbit was a constant irritation, a symbol of her captivity. She had to endure it for now, but her spirit remained unbroken. She would find a way out, and when she did, she would reclaim her name and her freedom.
For now, she had to play her part. "Yes, Warlord," she murmured, keeping her voice steady. She glanced at Ignita, her expression carefully neutral, but inside, she was already planning her next move. This place was new and unfamiliar, but she would learn its secrets. She would bide her time and wait for the right moment to escape.
Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and strategies as she stood there, the fire within her burning brighter than ever. She would not be a Rabbit forever. She would find her way back to being Yara, and nothing would stand in her way.
