Isopia The devil is not as black as he is painted. "Fitting." She commented as the sides of her lips twitched slightly. Apparently she rather liked the idea of a nickname...some mysterious way of describing herself that shrouded her true identity. "I like it." The girl said nothing as he commented on her vernacular. She didn't know whether his assertion was meant as a compliment, or an insult. Frankly, she didn't really want to find out. Both made her equally uncomfortable. And so she remained silent, though her eyes continued to search the boy with her piercing golden stare. She wasn't entirely sure of what she thought of him yet ... He seemed to have knowledge that she lacked but .. he did not know as much as she. Part of her wanted to prod him, to see what else he might know that she did not. Her eyes fell to the sleeping dragon on his back. She knew of dragons. Kahlua had one and many others in the edge as well. They bonded exclusively to those with equine blood, that she knew. Yet the girl knew very little about what the actual bond was like. Khan had been with Kahlua for all of the girl's life, like some handy sentient accessory. Almost as if her gaze had prodded him away, the beast stirred, pulled from sleep by the boy's movements. With a ravenous stare the girl watched as the beasts claws dug into the boys youthful flesh, drawing blood in a colour strikingly similar to the boys eyes. Somehow the girl found it all very fitting. His words pulled at her mind, but did not disrupt her gaze which seemed to be taking in each scale of the slumbering reptile. Those in the Edge had tried to disguise their shock when Kahlua told them that the father of the child was the God of the Earth. Although she couldn't' always tell if that was because they were jealous of Kahlua ... or shocked that he would procreate so soon after Hototo's death. Either way, the girl had gotten used to the question. "Yes. He is my Father. When Hototo was murdered a new child was needed. There must be balance." She replied, her weight shifted almost uncomfortably under his interested gaze. She tried to disguise this discomfort, though was rather bad at it. Awkwardness dripped from her just as surely as dirt did. The girl shrugged as Volterra seemed to imply that he was somehow not worthy of his name .. or perhaps just not in her company. Perhaps he was suggesting the girl should name herself something that started with terra, she didn't know. And the girl did not like it when she didn't know things. Looking to the sky, the girl silently yearned for an excuse to leave. She didn't know where the need came from, but once it was in her mind it was impossible to dampen. She wanted to go. This was one of the longest conversations she had ever had, and the notion that there was still so much to learn in the world was frightening and invigorating. She couldn't just waste time here learning all the things she was ignorant of. She needed to be out there. Her golden gaze tried to break through the canopy of leaves to the endless sky above. "I have to go." She muttered as her eyes suddenly gained some clarity, as if she had been lost in thoughts for a moment (which indeed, she had been). Her body suddenly grew darker as it warped and twisted. She shrank quickly before him, her body morphing and reshaping itself into her avian form. A sheen of ebony feathers overtook her as her muzzle extended outwards into a beak. The only things that didn't change were her golden eyes and the skull markings on her cheek. Flapping, she lifted her (now) small body into the air. The girl realized that she ought to say goodbye at about the same time she realized that she likely had missed her chance. Her leaving this way was probably already rude. What harm was there in not saying goodbye? Rising higher and higher, the girl broke through the ceiling of leaves and into fresh air. She immediately felt relieved, as if Volterra's gaze had been stressful somehow. (Figured she could awkwardly leave. New thread soon? :D) |
