The ivory woman listened as Maija spoke of the male that was with her as more of a bodyguard than a friend, making her husband, the king, the reason for the protection. A small shot of jealousy went through her at the thought. She wondered what it was like, having someone in your life that cared so much that they would go to such extreme measures to keep you safe. She saw the change in Maija's eyes as she thought about her husband, the warmth that appeared. Would she ever be able to think that way about someone? Perhaps if Dempsey would stay around for more than a night... She pushed the thought away, not wanting to think of the silver brute that had disappeared, reappeared to steal her heart, and disappeared again.

"That was thoughtful of him," she finally replied after a beat. "Sending someone to watch after you, I mean. He must really love you." She had to work to keep the bitterness out of her voice at the last part of her words. She had never really had someone to watch after her. She was always the fighter, always the protector. It was weird the twists and turns lives could take. She could have been in a position similar to Maija's if she had just taken a different path with her life... but instead here she was with a scarred shoulder and scattered children and a missing mate.

"Stop it!" she forcefully thought to herself, trying her best to keep her face smooth and calm throughout her thought process. She couldn't figure out what was making her feel this way, but whatever it was she wanted to fix it. "How did you and your king meet?" she asked, trying to be polite and keep the conversation moving.
