April Showers

*Sheylie* · 03-25-2013, 01:23 PM

She had expected a slight lowering of his walls, perhaps, a release of the anger that he was clinging to, not a vicious return of that anger. Sheylie was of half a mind to meet his anger with her own, to cover up the hurt that reared its ugly little head when he snapped at her. Did he really think that it was all obligatory? That she had been only nice to him because she had to?

If Sheylie were honest with herself, she would have known that she had been enamored with him as a youngster, enjoying his company until she was shoved in the river and almost left to drown. Even then... Still, that wasn't something that the female allowed herself to dwell on. Ears twitching, she tried to find an anger to match his own. "It wasn't obligatory. I could've been just as cruel as the rest of them were." She tired to put venom behind her words, but it was significantly lacking. She couldn't bring herself to snap at this wolf. Her anger was fading, retreating from Sheylie's mind as much as she tried to cling to it.

She wanted to be angry. Oh, she did. But when Frayer seemed as defeated as she, it was hard to stay upset. "You weren't ever a curse, either. Which you would know if you ever dug your head out of the sand!" There was the anger that she had been lacking, raising its head in a sharpening of her voice and a quieter tone. But with that, however, Sheylie was willing to respect his wishes. She twitched her ears and turned to look away from Frayer as well, fixing blue eyes out on the miserable rain.

It took her a few moments to start wriggling, trying to get situated and get as much of her body as possible out from the cold rain. This weather was miserable, and Sheylie was glad that Frayer hadn't driven her off. He certainly could have managed it if he wished, seeing as he was a good deal larger than she.
