Amalia pressed into her side and Athena blinked down at the girl, a small smile touching her muzzle. Athena was used to feeling protective over her brothers, especially Vereux, but for some reason this girl had caught her attention and she felt the same protective tendency when she looked at her. She seemed gentle and delicate, like a flower, which is why Athena was mildly surprised when Amalia mentioned being alright at sparing. Perhaps there was more to this russet and white girl than met the eye. "I would love to practice with you, as soon as you're completely well." Athena wouldn't want any less than a fair fight and it certainly wouldn't be when Amalia was skin and bones like she was now.

Then her own question was turned back on her, with a complement attached. She chuckled softly, pleased and embarrassed by the comment all at the same time. While she wasn't so sure she was as great of an heiress as Amalia claimed her to be, she appreciated the sentiment. "Fighting, actually. Hunting is all fine and good too, but sparing is really my favorite, always has been."

She paused, her split-tone eyes meeting Amalia's blue gaze once more. Athena wondered to herself what Vereux would think when she told him about Amalia or when they met. Vereux was oh so protective of her as it was, she wondered if he would be upset with her for letting a stranger into her den like this. But Amalia didn't look like much of a threat so perhaps not. Without really thinking, Athena leaned down and surprised herself by gently licking the top of Amalia's head. She wasn't sure why, but the motion felt natural as she smiled at the smaller girl. "You should get some rest. You're safe, you've eaten. I'm sure you're exhausted."
