The man would speak, catching on quickly and earning a chuckle from her ashy lips. "Ah but if you stand to low, you might get stepped on." She would purr back, her crown tipping to the side in a curious manner, though her eyes glittered with unspoken dangers. He was peculiar one, but one that she was quickly coming to fancy.
It had only halfway entered her mind that she was trespassing on Pantheons territory. She hadn't quited patched up their relationship enough to be here so when Natalya's voice filled her ears, she would put on a happy face for formalities. "Natalya, excuse me for my transgressions, but I was only fetching a new slave who has yet to learn his place." Her gaze didn't once flicker to the man, not really caring if she offended him or not, he could thank her later. Jaws parted to say a farewell and gather them both, but it seemed fate had other plans. The thundering of paws against the earth would have her age pulled from Natalya and to her husband, who ran at them like an enraged bull. Immediately her defenses would fall into place.
Her eyes narrowed, ears pinned to her skull, hackles raised, her crown fell even with her spine and her chin tucked. Broad shoulders rolled forward while her neck scrunched, legs spread equidistance, toes splayed while claws dug into the ground. Her tail would straighten, also aligning with her spine, her weight falling even across all four limbs as darkened lips pulled back to reveal ivory daggers. "My dear, I suggest you call your husband off, or there will be more bloodshed."
She wasnt entirely sure why she was so eager to fight for a complete stranger. Perhaps it had been the months of no action while she was pregnant. She had had plenty of time to stew over things and then it was only made worse by the fact that she had nearly died giving birth to the little bastards. But the ardenaline that flooded her system in this moment made it all worth it. The possibly of tasting blood gave her hope that all would be well. Of course, if Natalya spoke, she would happily part ways with the man in tow and never look back.
"Speech"
