ashes - Jaune - Sep 18, 2010 It was a gift. This thought had not occurred to her earlier when her mind, still highly suspicious of his intentions, had degraded each gift into bait. But peering into his eyes, a dull and uninteresting shadow of yellow, she decided he was harmless, and if anything, could be used for her own good. Lips curving in mischief, she gazed at him a second more before abruptly snatching out at the small vole, hastily snapping its small neck before taking a generous bite of its still-warm flesh. All the while, her eyes continued to dart from her snack to the gift-bearer, until her entire focus became devoted to the vole. It was soon disappeared into her stomach. Smacking her lips in approval, she licked her face as she gazed at her companion slyly from the side. His attention already seemed to be elsewhere, and she wondered if he had some problems with his brain. She would take this into full consideration. "Thank you," she purred in a soft French. It was perhaps the nicest thing she had said, had said, but even then her tones were shaded with pretense. Yawning very much as a cat would, her body elongating and becoming thinner, she slowly withdrew before batting her eyelashes once. "You are so impolite, you know, forcing the lady to speak first." Her voice was smoky, and her lips curved further like that of the Cheshire Cat. "And worse!" her lilting, accented voice rose, "Not giving 'er a name by which to address you. Making her beg like some common prost--orphan." Her eyes grew wider as if she was appalled by her near mistake, and she searched his face for comfort and affirmation. The maggot in her heart dug deeper but became lost in a small vein. It remained still. ashes - Skittles - Sep 18, 2010 [dohtml]
ashes - Jaune - Sep 18, 2010 His down and up motions, first down on the floor to stargaze, and then up again to speak with her, encouraged a more sincere smile to appear on her features, giving them a distinctly soft, if not pretty look. It was not often that she graced herself with--well, grace, for if she had learned anything from her childhood, it was those who were of kind hearts that were first abused. Of course that was his name. It was a peculiar name for an even more peculiar wolf. Giving a small yip of acknowledgment, she watched him with unveiled amusement as he stumbled around for words. It was strange, for she felt with him to be the one in control--oh, she always pretended that she was the dominant one, that she was superior to everyone she passed, but this did not mean it was the truth. But with this male, this male who unknowingly to her was named after rainbow-colored pieces, she could almost entirely deceive herself to believe that was on the right side of the teeter-totter. It was a novel idea. "What do you mean, you don't understand?" she said, her once lilting voice now inching on irritation. She could not help it. This annoyance seemed to bubble out of her without control, and truly, she blamed it on fear. She frowned, but it was not one of complete disapproval. No, there was an inkling of sadness. She gazed long upon his dejected features, and inwardly, secretly, she sighed. ashes - Skittles - Sep 18, 2010 [dohtml]
ashes - Jaune - Sep 18, 2010 Now it was he who was being dramatic. Though she had been irritated, it had only been an inch out of miles of how angry she could become. While it was true the poor male had experienced some of her rage, it had not been nearly representative of all that she could unleash. In truth, her question had been tainted with a tone of sadness, though perhaps the subtlety of it made it hard to appreciate. He was piecing together his thoughts, putting the reds with the yellows, the oranges with the purples, and creating what was hopefully was a whole rainbow. Determination swept over his features, and it was, in her oh-so modest opinion, his best moment. She was about to smile, but his stammered answer, a single yet painful one-syllable word, was enough to gun down her temporary happiness. She frowned, and as he attempted to explain his reasoning, her frown grew deeper until they became deep crevices in her face. The prettiness of her earlier appreciation had long wilted, and it was as if it had never been there. He said several things about her, several things that while probably true, had never been openly admitted by her. As such, she felt exposed, read by a male she had deemed illiterate. When his explanation collapsed into a series of difficult questions, she felt interrogated. She stepped back once, twice. The yellow venom on her tongue pooled, swirled. He was an innocent victim. "S-sir! I 'ave never been so, so insulted!" Her entire body trembled with the force of her breathless disdain. "You, who are you to tell me what I am? Who are you to say that I am sad, that I am lonely, that I am hungry, and this and that. Do you know me?" Pointlessly she paused, if only to take a breath. She stepped back forward, aggression hunched in her shoulders. "No! You do not. You do not even know my name, do you?" Having nothing to more to say, she gaped for a few moments before snapping her jaws decisively shut. She would no longer play his sick game. "I am done playing games with you. I am doing being h-humiliated." And with that, she left with the memory of his voice still jostling about in her mind, of his dejected face when she had hurt him, of his last question that she had so deeply, unreasonably, wanted to answer with a resounding yes. ashes - Skittles - Sep 18, 2010 Poor skittles!
