Her pelt bristled in alarm as the brute began to move, looking her up and down in a most indecorous way. She stared down her nose at him - quite the feat considering how much larger he was - until he asked where she was from, calling her a 'little bird'. The absolute cheek of the man, calling her pet names, like a child or a... a... loose woman. But the question he asked recalled her to caution, for it reminded her that other than Alice... who truth be told didn't even know she was here... Lizzy was quite alone in these lands, and this brutish fellow was quite large, and all told rather frightening - yet here she was scolding him like a jay, the more fool was she. Though contrary to her open nature, Lizzy felt quite like she should be trying her hand at telling an untruth, simply for the safety it would provide her. "My family lives nearby," she claimed cautiously. "My father and my brothers and I." She nearly elaborated with how very many brothers she had and how very large they were but thought she might not be able to keep the lie straight. "I am quite certain they shall be cross with me for being gone so long so I should be going now. Good day to you, sir," she added through ingrained manners, backing away as she did. |
