There's a song in your lung and a dream in your eye.
The man has quite the wit, she’ll give him that. Fortunately she’s well equipped to handle cheek. What he doesn’t know about her is that she had been an audacious and outspoken child. Just because she is no longer quite so flamboyant does not mean she has lost her edge.
But it is at that moment that the Jungle’s new Khaleesi decides to make an appearance, responding to his first statement with a sharp-tongued quip of her own. Though she does not laugh, her amusement is clear in her keen golden gaze. Leaning in, she whispers (in an overly exaggerated confidential tone, one Lagertha would still easily be able to hear) to Killdare a quick response to the Khaleesi’s words.
Perhaps if you didn’t fan your wings so, she might not notice it as much.
As she straightens, her features are carefully neutral. Flicking an ear, she continues, her next words coming almost as an afterthought.
By the way, you’re mispronouncing my name. It’s Joscelin.
She says her name slowly, enunciating each syllable clearly. Though she finds the nickname amusing (she is perhaps the farthest thing from a sunflower she could imagine, so where he had come up with it, she cannot even fathom), she cannot resist offering a second dig. Lagertha speaks directly to her then, drawing her attention from the bay stallion. At the woman’s words however, her gaze turns back to Killdare. The barest hint of a smile tugs at her lips as she responds.
This is Killdare, the Chamber’s very austere and earnest Colonel.
Joscelin
