Biting’s excellent. It’s like kissing, only there’s a winner.
He is surprised, by her answer. Most people are but, mostly in a more aggressive or offended way. This guy... is strange. Strange enough that she’ll allow him in her presence a little longer, then. The days are boring enough to accept this little break for what it is.
He says she keeps him humble, and she snorts. Not amused, but close enough. ”Humble, ey? Ye’re in sum p’sition of power then? Why, wouldn’t ‘ve guessed.” She says, tossing her head back in defiance. Of the idea more than of him, though.
As he talks of Tephra though, she almost leaves him behind without word. Had he said it earlier she definitely would, and perhaps she still might. But he’s different than Warrick had been so maybe it’s a little better now. ”Been there. Not a warm welcome for a ‘cano.” she pipes up the memory. ”Warrick still there?” Somewhat intrigued by this Magnus then. In a way. Persistent more than the average horse and she can at least visit - so long as she won’t have to see their king Warrick and his stupid border-minded ideas. ”Any others better? Don’t answer that.” she shakes her head. ”Wouldn’t be livin’ in the ashes if you thought so.” So why would he even try? Mention the others? Probably from being such an awesome diplomat.
Well, she didn’t need no sugarcoating.
