@[Kiara]@[Midas]Perhaps Midas was right… maybe Essetia would one day learn to best even the Gallant, but until then she would harbor his words in hopes of goading her determination. The young Sleuth nodded gratefully to her Czar, her expression a subtle mixture of duplicity and sheer exhaustion, before turning pale eyes to an approaching shadow. She assumed it was one of the Falls’ healers, but Romul was still quite protective over his companion, given her fragile wellbeing. He snorted and bristled once again despite the mare’s silent attempts to contain him. It wasn’t until Essetia bent low enough to huff softly in his face that the predator finally abandoned his futile efforts to guard her. They had certainly come a long way since their time away from Helovia, but it was obvious that their behavior was still in need of tending.
Midas had been kind enough to allow her to be the first to stand before the healer and it was a very gallant thing to do, yet it made her visibly uncomfortable. Essetia had grown callous and perhaps a bit isolated over the past few years and kindness, though cherished, did not sit well with the Sleuth. It was like a compliment that Essetia did not want nor feel she deserved, but allowed anyway. “Thank you,” she offered stiffly while turning her attention to Kiara.
It was almost uncanny that the former Edge healer would now be situated in the Falls and Essetia was tempted to question her, but feared mention of the past. It was something that was better left unsaid even if it was something that would not be forgotten. Essetia was presently too concerned with the aspect of “being healed” to bother with much else anyhow… she certainly wasn’t sure how it would feel or how it would occur.
In a futile attempt to calm her nerves, the Sleuth again dipped her muzzle low for Romul to see. He responded instantly and came crawling to meet her while whimpering and groaning in submission.
