do you feel like a young god? ciri

[Ciri]

Despite his warmth and the way he dotes on her, there is an air of sadness about him. Something that the swirling silver can barely detect in the depths of his amber eyes. It makes her curious, biting at the corner of her lip slightly as she ponders. As he redirects the question back to her, she gives a soft flare of her nostrils as she snorts. Realizing he had a point. Still she can’t keep the flicker of fire from her metallic gaze as he explains the culprits of Hyaline’s attack. ”Children or not, they should have known better.” She grumbles quietly. In the Underneath, monsters roamed freely. It made sense that she had been attacked. But not here. Not by hooligan teenagers of all things. ”What child would see that as a game?” Musing out loud to herself as her shining gaze rests once more on the withered remains across the lake.

There is hesitance about him even as he offers her a smile, a guarded look about his face. Her muzzle brushes gently against his before quickly pulling back, tucking it to her muddied chest. ”Mostly?” She teases but deep down she understands. There were somethings that were better left held close to your heart. ”Anything you want to share so I can know you better. And I’ll do the same in return.” The mud is cool against her sliced skin as he continues his work and although it originally stings, sometimes making her gasp with a sharp hiss between her teeth, it ends in a pleasant tingle.
