Duskfire Glacier A check up from an old friend

Though Scarlett held herself with more pride, her words betrayed her.  'I came to see if you guys were alright'... she hadn't changed.  Still so nice.  Manauia's lips curled into a somewhat wicked smile.  "To see if we were alright?  Isn't that sweet."  A casual walk.  She could hardly believe this girl was real.

"I'd have thought, when you turned tail and ran, you'd have figured out you were no longer welcome here.  But perhaps you aren't as smart as I gave you credit for.  Or do you plan on attempting to finally fight for something?"  True, Manauia wasn't going to attack her right now... but should Tuwawi happen upon the scene, she doubted the Alphaess would show as much restraint.  And much as she didn't care for the queen, she'd quite enjoy that spectacle.
