Betrayal is a bitter pill to swallow, and this one is offered without sweet words or a tempting hand. It is forced, forced past pried open lips and jabbed down the throat. Verro feels it like a sharp stab to her chest, a lump forced down her throat as she spluttered between the common tongue and the tongue of her father. She had liked Kisamoa, like so many. His strangeness had endeared her to him, an oddity, a stranger in a strange place. It resonated with her, and now it had been stolen away and replaced by fear and repulsion.

She's too young to be of use, that much she knows. Dun painted legs are rooted to the spot as the bone creature roared to life at the fruitless onslaught. "Don't!" Her harsh scream is drowned out by the surge of magic and words of others. Her lilac orbs filled with tears she didn't know she could shed, crystalline as they slid down her face while she watched a poor mare be almost chomped in two.

Verro knows better than to reason, her body moved without her permission, stiff and shakey as she was swiftly carried by adrenaline and instincts to the feathered boy that reminded her somewhat of her father. He seemed shocked too, his voice attempted to stand out from the throng and resonate with the thing they had come to trust. "Why did he do it?" She asked suddenly, a silent sob racked through her body. She wasn't sure if the boy would answer, part of her didn't expect him to. She was waning though, the spirit flames flared and died in abrupt surges. Her blurry vision barely registered the happy-go-lucky looking boy which appeared next to the one she had chosen to stand beside.

Later she will hate herself for her weakness, as the last of her porcelain hardened to ivory, to steel.

@Iskra I hope you don't mind that she ambled over to him.
