Spark of the Divine

Tidus reassured her that he wasn't going just to make sure she was okay, but to forge a friendship with the woman that had Taurig's heart. It was kind of sappy, which Maija wasn't used to hearing or seeing from anyone other than Taurig these days, and she only snorted at his words. Her leaf green eyes caught ahold of him as he brushed his tail against her shoulder before leaving her be. Her skin prickled from the contact Tidus had made, but her bristled fur relaxed when she realized there wasn't anything bad behind the affectionate brush. He was only doing what her husband asked him to do: be a safety net. Maija softly smiled at his retreating back and shook her head solemnly. How was she going to get used to everyone being...nice? It seemed like the perfect cue for her mental inquiry as an unfamiliar female smoothly descended from her previously occupied perch. Maija watched her with reproachful eyes, of which any sign of emotion disappeared as the white lady approached them. The smile faded and her gold face was void of any evidence of one upon being greeted. Old habits never died hard for the gold female. She didn't say anything to Alena at first. The wariness that had been a part of her for so long still hung around, and immediately, Maija's black nose began to work. Quivering, it caught the scent of an unfamiliar mixture, but it definitely wasn't of Glaciem. She exhaled upon realizing that her breath had unconsciously been held during her inspection. That was one good sign. Maija continued to look over Alena, first taking in the pretty purple eyes that bestowed her face and then her gaze trailed down to the large, pink scar that brazened her left shoulder. Maija's ears flattened at the sight, for she never thought of being in a fight with anyone. Vanity was something that she didn't reveal openly, but it did run through her veins. She wasn't quite ready to give up the perfectly groomed pelt she took care of each day. So, she broke her gaze from the scar and looked up to meet the stranger's eyes. Alena's question met flattened ears, but they slowly rose when she analyzed the tone of her voice. Nothing seemed to be hidden behind the words she strung together to form the inquiry and Maija mentally peaked her eyes and nose over the barriers inside her. Her manners returned as she simply replied, "Coming out for a stretch and fresh air...the little things I haven't appreciated lately." Her golden tail flicked behind her as she watched Alena with a sliver of interest in her leafy green opts. "Am I correctly assuming you are here for the same reason?" speech here |
