Elphaba would nod in time with his resounding agreement, she had no doubt in her mind that they would have their work cut out for them, taking a beast like the large red bull that was long gone by now, but if she trusted anyone to be successful at it, it would be the King that perched beside her. He had come from a pack of war, tactics must be close to second nature for him. She allowed him to lose himself in his head, to strategize, to plan. She had never been known for her long bouts of conversation and the silence suited her just fine. her leg no longer smarted, the wound having cleanly clotted over, it would heal quickly and she would be ready for whenever Gerhardt decided to bring down the beast. It mattered little to her when, even if she was still healing, she would attend. It was her duty, her perogative. The hum escaped her without her common knowledge, a soft, gentle noise that rumbled up through her vocals. Glinda used to treat her injuries and hum the tune to her. She had never asked what it was called but the melody had remained within the confines of her memory, it soothed her, reminded her of the goodness that her old pack contained. It was small, and it was flickering, threatened to be extinguished, but it was there. It would suddenly halt as Gerhardt's voice pulled her from the trance she had put herself in. Golden eyes would snap open and she couldn't remember closing them. She didn't know how to respond to the compliment, so with a light smile she would pause for only a moment more and let the melody resume. His answer to her words had been short, but confusing, at least to her. She lifted her head from between her paws to see him a bit better, for a soft moment she was quiet, before she answered it. Compliments and encouragement were so rare for her... she wasn't sure how to respond. So she answered truthfully, as she did everything else. "I speak only what lies on the precipice of my mind, amazing, I think not." She would offer him a subtle smile, her words not to be taken too seriously. "Speech" |
