“Trouble does not frighten me.” She tells him, certainty in her voice and a challenge in those stormy eyes. And she’s so sure that she can fight anything that might trouble them. She would not have been able to stop what had happened to him but Vastra likes to think that she could have, if she had been around when it happened. But instead of such ifs she thinks to the future and the ones that exist there - she believes that whatever trouble he faces she’ll stand next to him and fight.
Is it that she cares for him or just any excuse to bring out the claws?
She does find the smile comforting, his words inspiring a small laugh as she shakes her head. But her eyes are bright when she replies. “What I would like you to do is selfish.” And it was, she knew that. He was barely back and while the things racing through her mind are familiar territory that she would find comforting, she does not know if he would as well.
She suspects, maybe even hopes, because though they are different in many ways there are some in which they are matched. But Vastra, for all her quick temper, is patient and learning to be understanding. The demanding need in her will not surface again until she knows for certain it is reciprocated.
So she just smiles back at him, glittering beneath his gaze and trying to not be too annoyed by it as she reaches out to brush a touch against him again as her low voice continues. “So the real question is what would you like to do?” And here her grin grows as this lioness tries to be playful. “This is your welcome party, after all.”
