It is not the girl in all her smiles that you watch as they pass beneath the metal-borne sentinels with a harsh eye, angular face. It is the man that trudges behind her, clearly more than a few years beyond his prime, his body thin in all of the wrong places, unkempt and unspectacular; but it is not this that sparks your attention, seeks to keep it. It is the look on his face, something that you interpret as disgust. You simply stand, minuscule and small and insignificant in the shadows of your mountains, an increasingly familiar fury brewing silently in your heart. You had never been a particularly spectacular welcoming party (the black and gold brat in the woods, the way you and Erebos had laughed at her indignation surging to the surface of your mind), and months of a growing belly, of sore feet and an even shorter temper, you are certain, in some level of subconsciousness, that you should just turn around, save yourself the effort of being angry when it feels like every interaction is directed by this bought of irrationality. But as they parade closer, your annoyance with the man, who you swear mutters something, only grows, and you plant your feet firmly, waiting for them to wander just near enough. "Tangere," You address her first, her relative familiarity and kinship doing nothing to thaw the frost in your voice. She had been one of the first to welcome you to the Basin, had been one of the healers on the last expedition that you had taken with Lena (during which, you recall, she had tried to poison that exceptionally weird creation of a plant). The memory serves only to extinguish whatever (lack of) closeness that you had fostered for her, eyes narrowing as your mind begins to question her motives. "Who is this?" Your head inclines only enough to infer that it is the man that you speak of, your eyes never leaving the porcelain face of your fellow herd-mate. |
