The Clovenheart
Normally he wouldn't care about names, wouldn't bother to ask. He'd spent hours with Ryouta, led him to safety and brought him to a healer, and had only learned the stag's name shortly before they parted ways. But this time Ashamin had bit his tongue, and bowed his head, and though he knew he was meant to be gracious he felt his mouth starting to bleed.
What did he want? What could she do for him? "How about we begin with names? Starting in the middle did us no favors last time," Ashamin said, remembering how he had mistaken the mare for Lena and how, assuming he'd been speaking with one of a sweet nature, he had misspoken for the situation.
Then again, one could also argue she shouldn't have been snooping in that cave. But Ashamin was trying to be good--to not argue but compromise, and listen, and all of the things that one is meant to do when faced with the reality of their own past mistakes. Ashamin found this to be a common occurrence as of late, and even now he felt his most recent introduction to be odd.
The way she had dropped his title... was it meant to suggest she didn't respect it, or couldn't imagine how he'd earned it? Ashamin wasn't sure of that himself, he knew only that it was something he'd heard before he'd said, and heard enough times to take as truth. The Clovenheart did, after all, seem apt given his typical mannerisms. Even a half stranger like this one could see where it came from, right?
Or maybe it was the way he approached, too casual and friendly, as if already assuming bygones were bygones. Her subtle nod could have meant that he was correct, and that they were, but it could have also meant that she was content to let him say whatever she meant, but that she might still not be willing to listen. The two cerndyr that were his companions moved about on anxious feet, wanting to stretch their legs and leave this awkward cloud behind. Ashamin's brow furrowed beneath the shadow of his horn, even as he tried not to give too much thought or fear to it all.
But with Ashamin, that was always a bit of a lost cause, wasn't it?
