Duskfire Glacier A check up from an old friend

Manauia snorted.  "If you think that will stop her from attempting to tear you apart, you are an idiot."  This woman put too much faith in proper behavior and set rules.  The world did not operate on such.  If Tuwawi wished to attack, she would do so regardless of trespassing.  The flame-touched woman wasn't exactly reasonable.

The huntress was silent as Scarlett professed she was not going to fight.  She wondered a moment if perhaps the idea of fighting for her place and what she wished was foreign to Scarlett.  She had not fought to stay when first Tuwawi had kicked her out and she had not changed her mind since, it seemed.  So she was not here to return to them.  Manauia was relieved.

Her eyes narrowed when Scarlett asked if that was why she disliked her.  "Yes.  I find your weakness quite abhorrent.  But it is to be expected.  I hate any who are not of my own people."  It was a simple truth, so she stated it matter-of-factly.  If that bothered Scarlett, she couldn't care less.
